I love all the little details you've built into this that make it feel so much in the spirit of the original books. The name of the books on the Underlandian side of the mirror: How to Tame Talkative Shrubs and Red v. White: An Intricate Study; the annoyed flowers; the chatter of the Tweedles; all the talk about the tart trials and her tea with the Hatter, where she was in need of a haircut.
I'm fascinated by that little girl from the little bit we see her in the movie. I like that you're making a proper character out of her.
I was going for the Carroll feel for the book, so your comment makes my day! :D :D And yeah, I thought, dude, the little one needs a name, so my Muse ran with it. (Oddly enough, that was the first scene I wrote out of the whole fic...weird, I know!)
How much do I love How to Tame Talkative Shrubs? Bwhahahahahahaha! (About that much.) (^__^)b
And that snarky clock is Precious. "I've got a face, don't I?" OMG. Epic. And those smart-alec flowers. They are snippy little things, aren't they?
So, OK, dude, when the Tweedles were all like, "Uh, you're not the champion"... that's when the Drumroll of Dread started. And then we get the date and I remember being on the train (with lots of passengers dozing around me) and going "Oh my GOD!" and scaring the crud out of my husband. Hubby: WHAT? Me: THIS STORY IS AWESOME! I kid you not. I was Hooked.
And then Alice arrives at the village and Tarrant is so sexily pissy with her. I Loved it. I also Loved that he was so Suspicious and Smart and protective of his clan and OMG that lead all sorts of connotations to the movie and hinted at the kind of pain he must feel for "failing" them or "choosing" the queen over them. You slayed me.
Of course, I HAD TO LOVE Hannahlyn. There's a wise, old soul. Yes, ma'am. Uh-huh!
Your poor hubby, ROFL, but I have to say that sounds quite amusing. LOL
And yeah...Tarrant certainly is sexy when he's all riled up. Yum-my! LOL
Yeah, Hannahlyn...she was so fun to write. Like I mentioned above, that scene was the first scene I wrote...which was so odd for a linear writer like me. LOL
