ohdappledthings replied to your post:Heya! I noticed you seem to read a lot of YA. Have you ever read anything by Patrick Ness?
You will REALLY like it. It’s quality plus canon gay dads!
wait, i thought he'd written more than one thing? i've downloaded the chaos walking trilogy - what else of his should i read?

WHAT WHAT WHAT I AM EXCITE
YEAH adrian hon's been teasing us all week by having his twitter connected so we know he did a 44 minute walk in episode 15 of the walk or whatever. even though it's NOT OUT YET.

I was waiting for that too!! Then I remembered how the story works out and realised it couldn't...
Okay, Tumblr won't let me add your 2nd comment about getting to the Alex part to this, because Tumblr is dumb (& I'm not patient enough right now to figure it out), but I'm glad to know it wasn't just me!
Also, I discussed it with my sister, who pointed out that unlike in the original text, it doesn't really make sense for this Emma to turn down this Elton -- really, they're kind of perfect for each other. And while a vicar may not have been socially on par with novel!Emma, that reasoning has very little weight in this situation. (I can certainly see her refusal of Elton/shock that he would think himself suitable for her making sense as their characters (particularly hers) develop, but for different reasons than in the novel.)
And I can see this Elton coming to Emma because he wants her PR savvy in navigating the process of making his sexuality public, and then falling for Alex as he works with them. Which shocks Emma, of course, because it both messes with her plan & is entirely unexpected (& it could also be used to sprinkle the seeds of jealousy that later fully bloom when Harriet confesses her own attraction to Alex).
You don't even have to gender-swap Augusta to make this work, because Elton could very easily be bisexual. And I think it works well enough with this adaptation that it not only makes a lot of sense to have this happen but could also be done well enough that it doesn't come across as... a bait-and-switch (for lack of a better term; although even if it is done well, I don't necessarily trust [any] fandom to see it as a story incorporating a bisexual character rather than a 'lol j/k NO HOMO' move (although to be fair, I also don't necessarily trust this team enough to do it well).)
ANYWAY. I suddenly have all the feelings & apparently felt compelled to share them. Even though know it's a pipe dream (especially given Bernie's easy dismissal of this subject in his last Q&A).

EMMA. Was this the thing you wanted me to read? Dangit girl this is good. So so good.

This is beautiful and amazing.
Thankyou! :D I am glad that you liked it ^^
ohdappledthings replied to your post: you know how sometimes you’re thirteen and you...
I’m so intrigued by the description. I might buy that!
It's worth reading! if I remember correctly, though, it does end on a rather unresolved note. That's probably why it stuck in my mind--the other MG/YA novels and the fantasy novels I was reading always had really clear resolutions, so a more ambiguous ending was really weird. But it's been fourteen years of thought provoking for me, at least.
