Another late-comer here.

I've done very little writing - a Blake's 7 fanfic many years ago - and I wasn't expecting to be doing any more any time soon. Then the [livejournal.com profile] trennels community had a drabble plus ficathon recently, and while thinking about what I might request, should I request anything, I surprised myself, and actually managed to write a drabble and a half. For those who don't know, [livejournal.com profile] trennels is for fans of Antonia Forest's books. Forest wrote a series of adventure, school and historical novels, mostly featuring children from the same family.

A few weeks ago, I had one of those "What if?" moments, which took four of the characters from the Forest books (Anne, Ginty, Nicola and Lawrie, on their way back to boarding school by train after the events of Peter's Room, for those who know the Forest books), and put them in Narnia for the events of Prince Caspian, instead of the Pevensies. [livejournal.com profile] altariel1 was kind enough to think that this was rather a good idea, so my aim is to write some of the scenes springing from this.

There's no way I'd manage 50,000 words in a month, and I'm aiming for the lower picowrimo target of 500 words, not 5,000, given my average output over the last few years.

I always knew I'd be late starting this, because of planned RL events of the past week, but unplanned ones have taken their toll too. Still, I am determined to do something with this idea this month.
