Daughters of Clio is the prompt-a-week group of Trix, Clare, Tara, and I.

Last week the prompt was Clare's choice to pick a person, and she picked "The First and Fifth."

This is sort of Shustsumon's fault, because she mentioned it sounded like a Dr. Who fanfic title.

Intriguing!

[aldersprig]

Thank you! :-D

That's Spring, but I did think about having it be her, yes.

Re. Dr. Who... They're all people who are different in appearance but carrying the same name & role. And... I'm not sure, I think so, but possibly not? Depends on what world it's set in.

[aldersprig]

Everyone appears to be, actually.

At least most people can tell Winter from his Sisters.

I am intrigued! And did not get the Dr. Who reference, but I don't watch it. You explained that bit well.

Taking in Spring would be... quite possibly far more than either the Fifth or the First could plan for. Is it the same setting, or is this one something new? That's what you'll want to figure out.

Possible typo:
Miss Draper the First carried prim and proper as if she was the one who was stylish, and everyone else just horribly out of fashion
Miss Draper the First carried HERSELF?

[aldersprig]

Aah, yes, typo. Thanks.

The Dr. Who was really sideways and possibly only made sense in my head.

And yeah, I dunno. It fits with some stuff I know of the world Autumn lives in...

[eseme]

If it fits, then it fits. So long as it isn't shoehorned in, cool.

Though I think Spring sort of already has a job and an identity, so I am not sure if it would work well for her. She also seems rather close to her own family to take on an identity that does not involve them.

[aldersprig]

I think you're right re. that family, but it could be that 'verse easily enough.
