Signal Boost: Brilliant Princess Bride meta

I would read this at novel length.

I attempted to write a Buttercup romance once. (I had to pull in Morwen from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, because the only other women in the movie are the Witch and the toothless woman who yells, "Bow to her!") But I ran aground because of Buttercup's passivity. I wonder if this would solve the problem.

I loved Morwen so much.

I was a lot closer to her age when I was reading those books to the small kidlet! I wonder how she's be if she were in her 50s like me.

Me too! I read the series just a couple years ago and identified with Morwen super hard.

I expect the only change in Morwen is that she's even MORE competent.
