It's the Visuals you know
As the folks over on NFFR know, I have a thing about "visuals." That whole game where you cast your characters, go to morphing websites and create what a character looks like and worse of all actor-based fan websites will send me running for the exits.
That being said, while I've been moonlighting over here, I have lovely friends in other fandoms who, like women fen everywhere, do so enjoy the visuals. So, for your viewing pleasure,
It's Raining Men, Period Style
And, a gift from a friend from several years ago (thus explaining the absence of certain genre males and presence of others)
It's Raining Men, Genre Style
So, start the year off right, ladies!
In other news, someone posted how she envisioned Jalur the Tiger as being a white Tiger. Now, Tiger visuals, I don't mind:

I hear you on the human visuals. Personally, I am quite happy using animal and object visuals, but not humans. I spent eons hunting down the Exact Right images of Arabians to use as the four horses Rabadash presents in SGS, and I was mostly happy with the result. I do not, as a rule, do human visuals unless the people happen to come clad in the garments that I am studying for purposes of creating atmosphere in my own head, and even then I mostly try to ignore the people to focus on the clothing.
There were two exceptions to that No Humans rule, and only two; once I thought the girl wearing a gown I was studying looked strikingly like Susan might, and there was another instance where I saw an actress whose dimples immediately made me think of Lucy, although I did not (and do not) picture that actress's face in my mind when I write Narnia fic at all.
Honestly, when I write Lucy more than anything else I think of Little A. It is very difficult for me to separate the two in my mind. Fortunately Little A is far too tiny for me to actually envision HER when I am writing Lucy; I stick purely to similarities of personality-- giggly, exuberant, affectionate and incredibly fierce!

I'm not sure how exactly I visualize Jalur when I read the stories. A big cat, most certainly, but not sure if I can see orange and stripes in my head. I think sometimes I do see him as those pictures, and other times, I don't.

(Anonymous) 2010-01-04 04:33 am (UTC)(link)I very, very much enjoyed that, and was quite pleased to find that I recognized quite a few of the movies from the first video - two of which I actually watched just this week (BBC's Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility).
And I have P&P&Z on my too-read list!
