Input please! How do you picture the Next Gen kids?

[letmypidgeonsgo]

Specifically Teddy, Victoire, James, Rose, Al, Scorpius, Hugo, and Lily.

Hair color/texture? Skin? Eye color?

What houses are they in? Who do they take after, personality-wise? Who do you pair them with?

Please share!

OOoh, one of my favorite post-war topics... :D

Finally, someone who can embrace canon! Thank you for that, I was about to delete this whole damn post in frustration

[elfflame]

*hugs* I know what you mean. People really hate the epilogue with a virulence, don't they

[letmypidgeonsgo]

[warning: I got very long-winded!]

I'm not a fan of the epilogue...not so much for the characters it introduces us to as the style of the writing. But, I mean, it's canon! I get that people say that the stuff Jo's talked about in interviews, and while I don't feel the same way, that's fine. But the epilogue is part of the actual series! Its details don't come from supplemental materials or interviews or anything; they're right there in black and white. People ignore the epilogue all the time and I don't even bat an eye, because fic is always presenting AUs for everything - that's sort of its purpose, really - but I don't get it when people are just absolutely in denial about it

Long winded is fine! After all, that's what makes conversations fun

[letmypidgeonsgo]

James with black hair bugs me for some reason...probably just what you mentioned!

Luna's twins were good to have as non-Weasleys, but I've yet to see them developed in a way that I can get behind, so I'm reserving judgment with respect to their usefulness in fic ;)

I've tried Teddy/Scorpius and I just can't get into it...any recs?

[elfflame]

:D I need to try to write some of the boys at some point. They're slowly firming up in my head. Ravenclaws of course (with those parents, how could they not be?), Lorcan's the head-in-a-book kind of student, and Lysander's more flighty, though how depends on the storyline I'm going with. :)

Well, I can't think any off the top of my head that aren't mine, but I can link you to mine, if you're interested? I've done a few with pretty different versions of them.

I have no issues whatsoever with self-pimping ;)

A Day in His Shoes and On the Short Walk Home are all I really have, plus an unfinished drabble series from last Christmas.

The Teddy and Scorpius in this are both very different from each other.

part 2

whoops, went over the character limit

Re: part 2

[elfflame]

Definitely sounds like ours are similar. :)

Sounds like Hugo needs more love, though. Poor boy.

Re: part 2

[letmypidgeonsgo]

Poor, poor Hugo...and the movie didn't help :\

Re: part 2

[elfflame]

It really didn't. Though I had a bit of glee at the Ferret. :D

Re: part 2

[letmypidgeonsgo]

I still don't understand why half of them looked like they'd just stepped out of the 70s...

Re: part 2

[elfflame]

Yeah, well, some people have odd ideas about the 'future.' :P

Re: part 2

I guess we just have to be thankful (really, really thankful) they reshot the epilogue with better age makeup...not that the final version was good, but god almighty was it an improvement!
