'Finally' is right! I'd never have believed when I started it that it would take me 4 years XD
Thank you for the lovely rec! I'm so touched <3
Ooh, talking of things that have taken years to finish! :p I'm 3/4 of the way through betaing chapter 8 of The Night Starts Here. I'm so, so sorry it's taken me so long :( I should be finished soon, though, and I'm really loving it :3
Obviously, the fact that I've spent the last few weeks reading explicit Anna/Skandar/Will threesomes has meant that I've found it pretty impossible to read this post without imagining them getting hot and heavy with each other XD
(As I'm writing this, there's a massive thunder storm outside. It's been so hot and humid today, I'm not surprised, but it's kind of scary!)
I love this post! SO many feelings and so many good memories and it's just so lovely to see them all grown up and being all cute and hilarious and stuff. And oh my gosh, Georgie and Will sound so lovely and intelligent and mature. In that interview with Georgie it's kind of disconcerting because she looks so young (like, if she hadn't said she was 16, I'd have said she was a fair bit younger) but she sounds so incredibly grown up and just really comfortable and charming. And Will P is just really cool and nice, I think. I remember him being utterly charming and hilarious when they were doing the publicity for Dawn Treader. But eep, how is he 20 already? It does make him being Eustace in The Silver Chair somewhat problematic but I really hope that they make it very soon, and that they cast him in the role because he was so, so good in Dawn Treader. To answer your question, no more than a few months pass between Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair. I'd have to check, but I think Dawn Treader takes place takes place in the summer holidays and The Silver Chair takes place in the September of the same years. And Eustace is more or less Lucy's age, and she's no more than 9 or 10 or something in it? (Again, I'd have to have a dig through the books and my notes and stuff and I'm all comfy on the sofa XD) Which is all to say, there was already a huge age discrepancy by the time they made Prince Caspian. That was supposed to be less than a year after LWW and Georgie especially already looked a lot older. I dunno if Will P is just going to be too old for it to be doable when and if they finally do make The Silver Chair, and that would be such a shame. He's basically Eustace for me now, it would be such a shame if they had to cast someone else.
I just hope they do make it though. Keeping my fingers crossed for it. And The Magician's Nephew. And one day I want to see a film of The Horse and His Boy. It'll be incredibly hard to make without it being panned for being horribly racist and all, but if they do manage it I'd be so pleased. It's always been my favourite :)
Ben Barnes is still ridiculously attractive, though he looks a whole lot better when he's not being directed by some photographer to go for the whole super-sexy look.
This comment is soooo long, but there's so much to talk about here. Basically, awesome fabulous post is awesome and fabulous. Thank you for posting it. It's brought back soooo many feelings.
And you know that I'm more than happy to be dragged back into Narnia fandom1
I hope you're well. I shall write properly as soon as possible.
