Kid Curry... again

[igenlode]

I've just been contacted by someone complimenting me on the level of the research I did for my page on Kid Curry and the Pro-Fun Hoedown -- which is nice.

I'd forgotten that the Pro-Fun Trolls actually saved Curry's life, in a sort of story-external way -- by making it impossible to do what I'd intended to do with the character, i.e. stick to the historical fact of his demise! -- which is weirdly appropriate, really.

Well, what's the good of having a timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly house party, if you can't redeem your friends from their historical fates, now and then? :-)

I'm back to a basic account for LJ, so I don't have my Eloise Icon, here. So have a portrait I drew of her, last summer:

One thing I keep meaning to do is find some way of establishing Eloise's identity outside the pro-fun hoedown universe. She, and the other pro-fun trolls in her clan, are really the only ones without an independent identity -- all the other characters have their own stories to return to, at the end of the "day."

I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. But I think it's probably possible. It would also mean getting Florestandrereptrozan (sp? -- it's been so long) and Sweetheart free from Doctor Who / Gallifrey* as well. Though luckily, mysteriously sentient ships, and scholar-adventurers who get trapped in a half-sleep/half-death are both established tropes in folklore and literature. It's the whole Internet aspect of her persona that I'm unsure of -- what sort of universe is her "home"?

*those identities can be slipped back into, if ever we're up for the Hoedowns, again...
