Hehe, I know how that goes. ;) Yes, we did! :D We planned it out and capitulated together. ;)) Though I really haven't done tons yet. :P
Oooooh! I need to request right now if there's any hope of books coming in for Christmas break. XD Thanks for the reminder. ;)) Well, I'm glad you managed to finish Little Dorrit in time. ;)) What'd you think of the ending?
Neat! :) I'm a quarter Czech, but we've never been over (well, my dad has, but we're Czech on my mom's side; though, she's hoping to go next summer when my dad has a conference there). And that was largely irrelevant to the topic. :P
No, it wasn't that I disliked Azalea persay; it was more that she occasionally annoyed me, particularly with trying to deal with things herself---even if she hadn't wanted to involve Clover or the younger girls, Bramble was right up there and could've helped, and so should've been consulted. This probably has a fair amount to do with the fact that parts of Bramble reminded me of myself, and if my elder sister had tried to act like Azalea, it would not have gone over. ;)) I did think she did a good job with the characters, though, especially making them pretty distinctive. :)
:D Want to share any of your inklings? ;)) Haha, yes, it is a very good description. :P
Re - Azalea: okay, I think I understand your opinion of her better now. To be honest, because I'm and oldest Azalea reminds me of me, somewhat, and I probably wouldn't have told Bramble much just to try to keep her safe/and to keep from unnecessarily putting her through what I would be going through. Annnnd that would obviously be a poor choice, since as a mature young person she/you/my sister would resent not being trusted and relied upon! : P The perils of sisterhood! :D
Well, apparently Thor and Loki are immigrants who've left their father and other family back in Europe somewhere. Loki, the villain, is a either trying to steal Tony Stark's factory/business empire, or Loki has an evil mining empire and Stark is trying use inventions to break Loki's monopoly. Thor is torn between his brother and his inventor friend. I think Natasha Romanov is probably the circus or conwoman who finds herself aiding Stark with her unique and useful skills. Also on the team are big-city boy Steve Rogers, Clint Barton (a down-on-his-luck coal miner), and the unlikely, aging G-Man, Nick Fury. Heh.
Regarding the goat names, Genghis was our dad's idea, which explains the unusual amount of creativity!
Yeah, I figure my elder sister would have a different outlook on Azalea too. ;)) It's just that Azalea already shared everything else with Bramble (and I think Clover?), so it would've made sense for her to share the rest of this too. And it there'd been more than her going down, I'm pretty sure they could've gotten out of the situation easier. ;)) Plus, it would've been the perfect opportunity for some sisterly teamwork and saving the day, and those are so hard to find. And, yes, not trusting is obviously a bad choice. ;) ;)) The perils of sisterhood indeed! :D
Hehe...well, you're partially right. The first part is right, and you've pretty much got Natasha figured out. Granted, it probably doesn't really line up right since it's based on what I think Avengers is about, and not what it's actually about (...I think one of the Narnia directors said something like that, and it turned out horribly...hopefully it'll make for good fanfic at least?). ;)) *tries to think of some other tidbits to share* I'm pretty sure Stark gets roped in and has all the connections, but Thor is the one who starts it all off after there's a gunfight and someone (whoever the lawman in the town was) dies. Loki is involved with cattle, I think, and Hawkeye was on a wagon train west at some point (I also want to make him a (former?) Pony Express Rider, but I don't think that'll actually work). Fair warning, I've already decided that if I'm going to write this, I'm going to hit as many Old West cliches as I can. ;))
Nice! :) Parents do generally tend to be a bit more creative. ;))
The literary world can definitely use more sisterly save-the-day teamwork. The real world too, for that matter.
If you're trying to hit all the cliches, write someone as half Native American - maybe Bruce Banner? (I can't believe I left him out of my summary above! I guess because he's not in the graphic...)
Very true. :) Both need just strong sibling teamwork in general, but it's even harder to find sisterly examples. :P
There's an idea! Thanks, I'll consider it. :) I might be able to make it work, though I'd have to be pretty careful; my sister pointed out that's kind of a tricky subject to handle, and I'd hate cause offense with a fanfic. But, like I said, if I could get it right, it'd work. :)
