Oh, Aravis! <3 I have so much love for the Narniaverse women - they're all so awesome!

I have my fingers crossed for a new SC movie. The totals for VoDT are looking nice, but they're not nearly as high as LWW or even PC.(And I really, REALLY want to see more of Poulter!Eustace).

Oo, Jill/Rilian. That's something you don't see too often, even though it's plausible within canon. I would like to see that. (And I must confess, Jill/Eustace is my OTP. I just love their dynamic so much)!

...I guess. I have a real problem with how Lewis treats them though. I will never forgive him for what he did to Susan. Also, his whole attitude is kinda wierd - women are only good if they remain tomboyish and innocent. But if they grow up and discover their feminity and sexuality, like Susan, they are banned from Narnia. Hmmm.

My mum ranted far too much about this to me when I was little, feminist that she is!

Me too! Omg he did such a good job :D I love him in School of Comedy - have you seen it?

Oh I adore how they interact. That's what I love about these two characters, they're the realest of all of the Narnia children, edgy and hard. So my fic, just a twinkle in my eye at the moment, is going to be mostly Jill as a young woman returning to Narnia through dreams and falling in love with Rillian. But in the end she has to face up to her real life and feelings for Eustace. (This is as though The Last Battle didn't happen cos I hate that book.)

Atm I'm writing a Jenny Calendar (Buffy) fic, then it's Illyria/Spike, THEN I'll do this. Or maybe this before I/S. But it's going to be looong so :S
