though he may have won all the battles, we had all the good songs!

The spring '92 entries are now up. Not much to say else. Has been a pleasantly unremarkable day. Rainy. Very much in love with my cloak still.

I recommend April 29 for pure inexplicable cracktasticness, May 6 for cheer and nine-year-old snark, and May 13 for fangirlish meta. Yay! I forgot how manly-yet-still-vulnerable Peter ended up in the sequels, but in true fangirl fashion I liked the angsty broody goth artist kid better, even though I can't remember his name. (Heidi fic! w00t.) (oh man, I should have written that Klara/Colin Craven WWI bunny that's been bugging me for the holiday yesterday.)

Also, still haven't called Mom. Bah.

Oooh, Klara/Colin! Write!

Mom's been idle on AIM for 1h7m .. I bet she's still up. Call her.

Actually, she got back to me. So, good.

Imagine: Klara's going to school in France (like I think she did in the sequels.) War breaks out. She's a German stuck in France, but she becomes a nurse, because Klara? That's what Klara would do. But everybody hates the German girl and she can't stand the hospital and how it reminds her of when she was crippled.

Meanwhile Colin joins the army and gets sent to the trenches and wounded and loses faith and decides that this time he really *isn't* going to walk again, because there isn't any Magic in the world any more. And who better to teach him different than Klara? In the spring, in France, in the stinking mud. Reading hymns about a garden, and the sun rising over the alps.

Unfortunately I know almost nothing about what it was really like in WWI and I have a feeling that plot iscompletely not feasible, historically, so yeah. You could write it though!

I particularly liked the First of May or thereabouts. And all the ones where you have replaced Katy with <lj user="stellar_dust">

I did it with katrianya too! To bad I don't have lj names for anyone else from that period.

Secret Garden? I want to read! That is where your Colin is from, right? Who is Klara?

[melannen.livejournal.com]

Klara from Heidi! The *other* invalid who is magically cured by the power of fresh air and sentimentality.

They just seem like they ought to be together.

[thirteenmirrors.livejournal.com]

Ohhh. THAT one. I vaguely remember her now. That was a good story. But now I want to write Colin/Mary drivel. Look what you did.

[melannen.livejournal.com]

Yay! There can never be too much Secret Garden!

the journal was amusing. some of them seem to be a purposeful "make me write, i'll write like a 6 yr old" entries. makes me wonder if i still have any i had been forced to write. i was so nasty about journal entries back then, it could prove to be entertaining :)

Yay! You should look! We could compare notes!

Yeah, I tended to switch between being sarcastic and feeling sorry for the teacher, I think.
