Title:
CarpetbaggersRating: Teen
Warnings: some bloodshed, oblique references to slavery, realpolitik
Summary: After the coronation festivities, the real work begins. Set during/after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. 120,000 words.
Disclaimer: The original Narnia novels were written by C. S. Lewis; I'm just taking the characters and the world out for a spin (and maybe tuning them up a bit while I do).
Notes: Beta by
finisterre and
snacky. All remaining errors are my own.
Carpetbaggers Notice: While this story was posted as a WIP on my journal from August 2010 to January 2011, it has been significantly re-written, and--most importantly--finished.
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical leonine ceremony.
holli said that, and if it wouldn't have entirely misrepresented the tone of the novel, I would have used it as the summary.
Many thanks are due not only my betas
finisterre and
snacky, who Brit-picked and canon-checked me, but also everyone else who read the earlier parts of the novel when it was being posted, cheered for the characters, and chatted with me about the issues along the way. I would list you all, but I'd be here all day.
