The cast thread is filling up rapidly, and while we don't have to fuss about comment collapse, it is getting difficult to navigate...

So here's a new post, where we're asking YOU to ask US: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

TOW ROW ROW always cracks me right up. The song was a fine bit of characterization (it's just the sort of thing Umbridge would like them to sing), but the way the characters started using it was great.

The REAL TRUTH of the kitten plates in all their creepy-backstory glory, and then the un-plating of the kittens and their adoption by everybody. (I am also personally very fond of Megan's fierce bitey cat Fang, and was tremendously touched when Ernie and Fang were sitting together in the graveyard.)

The way Alternity used compulsions is fascinating, with Sunrise Cordial, the charmed pins, funeral flowers, festival refreshments, and so forth, but that's probably a whole topic of its own.

Including Rigel, who is one walking, talking compulsion.

Oh, yes!

I want ALL THE FIC about Rigel growing up and trying to come up with some kind of ethical framework for himself and his powers. ALL OF IT.

Oh wow, just occurred to me:

You know who is Rigel's foil?

Terry.

Because Rigel grew up having ALL the power, so that he could do whatever he wanted on everybody's ass. And Terry grew up just exactly the opposite.
