burntcopperThing I forgot to mention in the update post:
croissantkatie podficced the first of my National Service Narnia fics*, Might Shape Up Well. Go fanperson, it's really rather good. She's now drunk with power and contemplating doing more.
*For newcomers, this was essentially the result of me screaming every time I saw a 'what if the train crash never happened in Last Battle' au (it didn't, CS Lewis was hallucinating. it's crappily written anyway.). Where the writer (mostly due to sheer ignorance) fails to notice a) rationing and b) the fact that conscription continued for a good decade or so after WW2. In the UK it was known as National Service. And oh look, the male Pevensies were exactly the right age for it. Cue me going 'oh dear god, medievalwarlords warrior kings meets 1950s British army...'
Saw Hunger Games. (haven't read the books yet, they've been eyeing me resentfully from my bookshelf since I bought them at the summer fete last year) Really good film - great on action and as a really pitch perfect piece on reality tv and oppression(creepy Donald Sutherland is creepy. No, Simon Cowell, you may not grow a beard and then shave it into weird shapes like Wes Bentley). If anything it could've done with being a bit longer so we could see the reactions of the average viewers commenting on it รก la Truman Show, not just the presenter and showrunner. a) brilliant adaptation of a book since you need *nothing* explained to you - if a film requires the explanation of 'well, you need to read the book for that bit to make sense', the scriptwriters, director and editors have FAILED. b) adult-oriented action films? TAKE NOTES. tension is great. POV is fucking brilliant

Ed: Me? Nooo... never left Europe... at all, he must be mistaken... truly...
For some reason seeing the Hunger Games and your comment now I really, really want the Pevensie as Hunger Game Winners... four years running. Queen Susan would become good friend with Katniss I think
