Susan!

[metonomia.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that it's always an appropriate time to discuss Susan, but it's especially appropriate right now, because of a conversation I've been having with pencildragon11 about her AU LB Susanfic.

There's a bit with Susan being called to join them all at the end of LB by Father Time's horn, and when I expressed interest wrt Susan as the bearer of a horn herself, she said: I think it's getting to be my headcanon that Father Time's horn would call Susan wherever she was, but there were at least two horns in LB, and the urge to connect them to Susan was unbearable. (Also headcanon for me that King Frank's horn at the end is the same horn as Susan's, and that it's been around for ever, that Susan was the keeper of it for a time, and that her name became attached to it due to her fame.)

Which I think is AWESOME. It's one of those connective motifs that's there to be explored throughout the series but left without any internal commentary, but I think it could be fairly purposeful, given that we know Lewis loves his medieval literature and thus adventure symbolism and all that.

So, any thoughts on this?  I think it's especially interesting as a way of seeing Susan still connected to Narnia, or Narnia to her, no matter what decisions she makes regarding memory of Narnia.

Basically, let's talk about Susan headcanons and theories and problems.

LJ Tips - Tracking

[lady_songsmith]

Hey neffers! Not to interupt the fandom-y goodness, but since LJ isn't necessarily the best format for ongoing conversations, and we do have a bunch of folks new-ish to LJ, I just wanted to point out one tool that makes keeping up with LJ discussions easier after they've fallen off the front page of your friends list.

You can track entire posts (for instance, the awesome Susan-meta discussion!) or just one comment thread (perhaps someone left a cool prompt on the fic meme and you want to know when it's filled?). There are several options for notification; email or LJ private message are the most commonly chosen.

If you're viewing in this comm's default style, just click the "Track This" link at the bottom of the entry -- or for a comment thread, the top-most comment you're interested in. If you're viewing in another style, you may have a button that looks like a pushpin instead.

Any other tips to make following LJ discussions easier? Please share in comments!
