Went over to just_danceit's tonight. We watched both X-Men and X:2. Which were way better than X3 IMHO.

'Sgonna be a foggy, foggy night, I can tell. The houses across the street are already a bit blurry. I have to be up by noon tomorrow for cable installation between noon and four.

corchen, having reread the Hans Christian Andersen, I'm having a crisis of conscience. Have I totally squished this character? I really love her the way I have her right now, but canon is kind of bitch slapping me. Any other milli-muns wanna weigh in? I love my Snow Queen, but she's drifting pretty far off canon. What do I do? It's never been a problem before because...I don't really know why. I guess (go with me here, I'm working this out in my head as I go) I'm kind of treating her as a mythological character and calling Andersen's take on her a basis but not full-on canon. Is that weird? Am I perverting the pure drunken motives of Milliways? Am I thinking about this WAY too hard? Advise me, oh wise ones...

It's been a long time since I read the canon, so I am not sure how far from canon or how it is going, but the way I look at it is this. Is the way she is going natural character developement in your view? Does it feel organic and as if it stems out of what her canon gave you to work with? If it does, then it is justifiable movement. All beings evolve, as they are exposed to new things. Characters set in a non-static environment change. Or should.

Just my two cents.

X3 was just so damn depressing.

Read it last night. Have just re-read it. And I don't think H C A gives enough of a basis for anything you've done to go against canon. His descriptions of her are basically a snapshot from one moment in time.

I also agree with the acanon versus mythology. It makes much more sense for you to pull ideas from all over the place - he must have done, after all.

Also. What exactly are you feeling is going against canon? 'Cause I can't quite see what it is, to be honest. You've added a lot, but I can't see anywhere you've contradicted.

All of the halls were so immense and so empty, so brilliant and so glacial! There was never a touch of gaiety in them; never so much as a little dance for the polar bears, at which the storm blast could have served for music, and the polar bears could have waddled about on their hind legs to show off their best manners. There was never a little party with such games as blind-bear's buff or hide the paw-kerchief for the cubs, nor even a little afternoon coffee over which the white fox vixens could gossip. Empty, vast, and frigid were the Snow Queen's halls.
