Narnia Exchange Letter
Jun. 25th, 2015 02:51 pmThank you wonderful writer for whatever story you end up writing for me.
Most of what I love to read is about character and world, getting deeper into people and places that are only passed by briefly. So far every fic I've received through this exchange has been a joy. I have a few different requests but the main idea holds through all of them, more into how the characters think and how they grow and change.
My first request is for Aravis/Cor with optional Corin, Pevensies, the King, Bree or any assorted characters. I'd love to see more of how their relationship progressed as they grew up. How living in Archenland and traveling to Narnia changed them and in time brought them together. The romance doesn't have to be the main focus but I find their relationship compelling and want to see more of it.
My second request is more about King Frank and Queen Helen. Who were they before they came to Narnia? What do they remember and use as rulers and what fades away? Any take on either their life before Narnia or during or some combination would be wonderful.
My next request is for seeing more of the Pevensie siblings in terms of a variety of interactions, at school, in Narnia, in the midst of war, after. I find how they work as siblings fascinating and would like to see more of maybe what's behind some of their feelings for each other. The details on this are hugely optional but as some one who works in education, I'd be curious to see how their school lives shifted their relationships.
Last a request that comes from the fact that I'm a classicist and I love Tumnus but have always been curious about what Bacchus is doing in Narnia. There's a strange relationship between characters that seem of pagan origin like the Fauns, Centaurs, river gods, naiad, dryads and others alongside Aslan. I would love to approach that through Tumnus but with options of bringing in others. He talks of playing and dancing with Bacchus which I find fascinating as its impossible for me to conceive of Tumnus and anything involving sexual as I associate with many aspects of Bacchus. I know that's not all of him and I'm curious how all of these ideas fit together in the fields and forests of Narnia. Anything about life in the forest and how the natural magic intersects with Aslan. What does it mean to be a mythological creature versus a talking animal? As you can see, I have lots of ideas, take whatever works for you.
In terms of dislikes, my main one is no incest. I'm comfortable with violence or sex if it fits the story but what makes me happy is character studies. Plotty stories are amazing if they work for your idea. Thank you for whatever you write for me. If you're unsure what I like, my Ao3 name is FiKate and you can read there the kinds of stories I write and enjoy reading.
