I was trying to articulate, this morning, before work walloped me over the head and I started thinking and writing in long rambling sentences that went no where in particular -- er, like that one, sorry -- what it was that was annoying bothering itching me about your characters, particularly Edmund, as the TSG set has gone on. I had only gotten as far as pinning to the fact that they are very different than mine, but now, reading this, I think I've got it -- I would want and hope a child of mine would grow up like any of the Pevensies, and they could certainly do much, much, much worse than to emulate Edmund. Sex with Evil Bankers and all. (More sex! *throws confetti*) Actually, and maybe this is my-Ed injecting and overlaying your-Ed, I think Edmund is probably the better of the two boys to emulate in TSG; he's got his head together more than Peter.

As for your little flower of a reviewer, can't you just lob tomatoes at her like the rest of us, and write your vision the way you want? *puppy dog eyes*
