So, someone on Tumblr asked me, do you still do prompts? And I realized that prompts are almost the only think I do as I bumble and stumble along through the nightmare that is my COVID to-do list (this weekend, finish a manual, write a comment on New York weed, prepare for 2-day FDA meeting next week AND have to do slides for a presentation the same time as the meeting) blergh.
Into the Jungle came about because LoveandRockMusic noted an article about the Rainforest Cafe closing and wouldn't it be hilarious if the Pevensie next gen showed up and the animals really talked and the monkeys tortured Edmund.
So, on November 17, I opened a google doc and started writing, egged on by Larm and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
syrena_of_the_lake . Also, ElementalRaven on AO3 had reviewed almost EVERY single story I'd done and I promised a gift in return. They wanted some other things but liked the Next Gen too. Rainforest Cafe is one of those places that I should have spent a lot more time in than I did. My spawn was born in 1999 and the cafes started opening in about 1997. We LOVE animals of course. But there is a predominance of big primates and spawn was never a fan of the great apes. So we didn't go that often. The thunderstorms also made them pretty nervous. But I certainly knew it -- we were the ideal generation. So, this is a love story to the Rainforest Cafe, all 11,000 words of it.
Something I note at the beginning is that, as it is set in April 1998, Harry Potter is beginning and of course would be a thing for a family with a history of magic, portals, and talking animals. Philosopher's Stone had been release in June 1997, Chamber of Secret was coming it in July 1998, and Philosopher's Stone had been picked up by Scholastic and would start showing up in the US in September 1998. So, there's a fair bit of Harry Potter in this story and I gently poke fun at Where would the Pevensies by sorted? And, given the ugliness in the last year or two, some people might not be interested in a story that features HP at all. if that's the case, you'll want to skip it. But I deliberately make one young person trans just to show the better view and two young men in love are the pov characters. So, there.
I also ended up creating a family tree to keep all the next gens in my head. I was going to say, "to keep them straight" but so many of them aren't. I know, it's silly but here we are because as Scott says to Theo, there are more Pevensies in this Everybody Lives Nobody Dies story than there are hoodlums at a football match.
By the way, I didn't get it Brit picked, so if you spot anything, let me know. Thank you!
