Hiding fandom in the underwear drawer since 1977

I'm not writing.  I sent in my narniaexchange prompt (Woot!  Early!  I LOVE my prompt!  Thank you whoever you are!).  So, I'm sort of done writing for now.  Really.   I'm not working on TSG or Harold & Morgan.  I'm still too uncertain of being able to sustain a story given how readers dropped like flies at the end of TQSiT.  But, work is slow, the days are hot, and the evenings are a bit dull since I don't watch TV.  I'm using the treadmill and watching Merlin on netflix which is a total crack experience -- it's so cracky, I'm just not sure I can get by the embarrassment I keep projecting over the whole thing.

But as a result of the Narnia and feminism discussion on NFFR recently, a question came about what the heck was Aslan thinking in dumping Shasta off with Arsheesh the abusive fisherman.  Really, it is a total Dumbledore leaving Harry on the Dursley Huh sort of moment.  This is an idea I've had for a while and have even mentioned here a few times -- a retelling of The Horse and his Boy with the Trickster god of the Calormene pantheon.

So, The Horse, His Boy, the Rat, and the Trickster
