Remix reveals and rambling

[rthstewart]

Remix reveals are up!!! 
I am so lucky!! I ended up remixing the people who remixed me!!  snacky wrote this lovely follow on to Follow the Star and lotl101 wrote an alternate view of how Lucy and Asim might have met!  Go and tell them how wonderful they are!!

Thank you both so much for these wonderful stories!!

I wrote two, a Narnia/Silmarillion xover for Snacky here and a Doctor Who story for lotl101 about the OTP between Doctor 10 and his Converse trainers.

I made the mistake of looking at word count since November 1 -- AW chapters 10-15, Rat and Sword, and one chapter of H&M totals over 140,000 words in less than 6 months.  So, if I'm a little slow getting off the mark at the moment, I guess that's why.  But I've started writing and outlining again and actually wrote a few hundred words of H&M dialogue last night. What follows is some writing blather below with the offer to share any thinky thoughts you may have:


First, the post of a day or two ago In which an adventure begins has gotten me thinking seriously about whether or not to actually incorporate that into AW.  I could do it.  Really.  I think.  Thoughts?  Is it just too far?

Second, I've had some lovely exchanges with a few folks, but I'll just open it up if you have anything to share.  I know this will shock you, but I'd not intended to send Edmund to America.  But it works for a bunch of reasons and solves some problems I've had and I'm glad for it for a number of reasons.  I'm going to finish the current arc of H&M (and if you read the funerary parts of H&M you know how this part must end).  I need to do it.  There's a big jump between how Edmund deals with his mother in Chapter 15 of AW and where he was emotionally at the beginning of the last chapter of H&M when he goes off to "court" Morgan.  Which means we've got some development that happens and Morgan is a part of that, as well as the DT experience.  Among the questions/issues

• Are Edmund and Morgan going to discuss bonding/children?
• Edmund has never thought of himself as responsible for securing the legacy though he was bond by the same oath Peter and Susan took at the beginning of I love not man the less.
• What about Morgan's own commitments in the Lone Islands? What is Morgan willing to give up? Where?  Why?
• Are there sovereign and loyalty issues if she's supposed to be producing heirs for the Lone Islands AND Narnia?
• Morgan meets Aslan
• We check in on Seth
• How does this all bear on how Edmund deals with his father in AW? 
• How does John feel about Edmund?  "Who are you and why are you here?"  Or, since Peter is such a disappointment, does he latch on to Edmund?  And what's Edmund's reaction?
• How might these parallels play out?

There are others and I'm really just blathering but I'm always amazed at what people come up with unlooked for so if something hits you, please feel free to share.
