I don't trust what CS Lewis would have said about her. Oh man. Exactly! I wonder how that would've shaped fandom, if he had ended up writing her. It's interesting writing Narnia characters, in that Lewis meant for everything to be such a symbol, more than in any other canon I've encountered. So it's like writing more message than character, or something.
Anyway, I'm writing Aslan Country's fic for the TV trope fic challenge where my trope is "dead to begin with", and it's relatively lighter in tone than my gut feeling towards the place. It's an interesting change, writing characters that aren't allowed to be sad. Leads to flashbacks. And the parents feature!? Ya, weird. They were just supposed to stick around for a paragraph, but then Mrs. Pevensie is all "Oh my" at Caspian's chivalry, and Mr. Pevensie is all "Conquer any kingdoms lately?", and I let them stick around. Oh, bit parts. I'm still waiting for someone to cough up a movieverse Glozelle fic.
