Jul. 28th, 2013 05:54 pmHello, fic_corner writer! First may I say that you are awesome, and I hope you have as much fun writing for me as I am sure I'll have reading. :)
Expanding a bit on the mini-prompts!
Foxy - Helen V. Griffith : What I love about this book is mostly the relationship between Jeff and Foxy, though the way Amber changes is also interesting. I love how caring Jeff is, and how clearly he sees himself as The Responsible One. I'd like to see how that matures as he gets older, even if it's only by a year or so.
Austin & Murry-O'Keefe Families - Madeleine L'Engle : Mostly I'm interested in the setting (roughly, of course) of the first three books. One thing that I really loved about those, and especially the last two, is how people who seem really horrible can turn out to be capable of profound acts of love and self-sacrifice.
The Boxcar Children - Gertrude Chandler Warner : These books were responsible for me looking for places in the woods where one might live in hiding and survive off blueberries and milk. ;) I really love the self-sufficiency of the kids, their determination to do for themselves and not have things handed to them. Handled the wrong way, I think it could get preachy, but the original author never came off that way, at least to me.
Bunnicula - James Howe: Oh the adorable ~evil~ bunny (don't mind the cat foaming at the mouth over there. ;p ) I really adore Chester's fits of imagination, though, and Harold's long-suffering amiability about it all while still standing up to him on important points, like not killing the bunny! I really do want to see how Bunnicula could contribute to mystery-solving, and why he never speaks, or if it's possible he *is* speaking and they're just deaf to Rabbit.
Things that I like in general (with the nature of this challenge and my requests in mind): Happy endings! People being rational about mysteries instead of freaking out - with at least one obvious exception, though Chester certainly thinks he's rational. People being in character, of course. Crossovers, though I'm not sure any of these would really work in crossoverish settings, with the exception of the L'Engle books.
But mostly have fun! :)
