Narnia/LotR crossover. Eomer is SO CONFUSED. And Peter -- is actually a very good High King. And Edmund just put his foot in his mouth. Lucy is thrilled to have all these cute new men to flirt with -- for diplomatic reasons, of course. Of course. And Susan -- well, Susan, aside from shooting a bunch of orcs, hasn't shown up yet.

In other news: I may possibly be the only one in the entire Narnia fandom who thinks the March of Cambreadth (scroll down) is the Narnia song, especially under Peter the High King. And in times of war, obviously. Which, uh...under Peter the High King. And of course it isn't heard for more than a thousand years until the eve of battle against the Telmarines when Peter was humming it under his breath and Lucy, then Edmund and Susan, took it up. And slowly -- slowly, because the words had been passed down, but it hadn't been heard for so long -- the rest of the Narnians took it up, until even Caspian was shouting the words along with the rest of them. And outside of the How, the waiting Telmarine army could hear them...and they shivered.

(I know. It seems like my view of Narnia is so much more savage than everyone else's. Oh, well.)

Heather Alexander! Oh man, I love that song. It's giving me shivers now picturing them all singing it.

And you know, I'm starting to much prefer your view of Narnia to CS Lewis'. Your's is way more mature and gritty and awesome. Long may it continue!

I know! It seems very Narnian, especially the older Narnia. I might do up a variant on it, but it's mostly good as is -- if I was to make it properly Narnia, I'd change a few phrases: references to Aslan ("Lion's strength and Lion's heart / Show them we make war an art", or, um, something) and the Pevensies ("King of Summer, Queen of Spring / something here that ends in "-ing", or "Narnians who call this home / Fight to keep this land your own").

...I was bored last night, what can I say.

That pixel lady on the right of the Heather Alexander wallpaper is kind of hilarious.

I dunno about savage per se but I do like your manner of world-building details of the sort that Lewis had no intention of writing, and if the effect is savage or melancholy, well, it comes with a satisfying feeling of cracks being filled. Hooray fanfiction!

Worldbuilding is fun! And it makes so much sense, too.

*giggles* You are such a Narnia nerd. But I still love you.

When do you want to round up the CWC for a summer write-in type thing?

It's been so long since I was seriously involved in a fandom (especially an active fandom, God)! And everyone knows the senior project drove me insane.

Oh, huh, I hadn't thought about that. Y'all still want to hang out with graduated me? *grin*

Of course, why wouldn't we? And see if you can get a hold of Mindy too, and see if she wants to come.

I don't know Mindy's e-mail address, or her phone number. Alas!

When would be a good time, do you think? Do you know who's working?

Although I might be able to get in touch with Mindy via Facebook. (Tulane said: get a facebook. So I got a facebook.)

I vote for Weinegar's, if only because ice cream is more welcome in this weather than coffee.
