Song Of The Lioness

Backstory: I found Alanna: The First Adventure when I was eight and it is the single most influential work of fiction of my entire life. I truly believe I would be a slightly different person if I had not read these when I did. I have reread this quartet so many times that years later and I still have chucks memorized (I also did this with the Immortals quartet - I took Emperor Mage with me to Hawaii and read it at least six times just in those two weeks.) Which is to say - I love these books on a deeply personal and subjective way.

However, it's been at least five years (probably more like eight) since I've given this series a reread. Partially because of time, partially because I was afraid they wouldn't hold up. They did.

So... now it's time to get cracking on my reread of The Immortals Quartet. I was at the library a couple weeks ago and they had a couple of the whole series checked in, which seemed like a sign to me.

So now, a challenge for my flist. Lupin is one of those character of whom I have never seen an accurate pictorial representation out of the confines of my own mind. Like, I know what Lupin is supposed to look like, but I've never found an actor or a fanartist who got it right. (And the actor SO DIDN'T). So, if you have found an actor or a fanart or a random photograph that is ohmygodLUPIN! in your mind, I would love to see it.

On that subject, I have a photo of Neil Gaiman that is my ohmygodSIRIUSBLACK. Seriously, he looks exactly like Sirius looks in my head.

Let me broaden the challenge to my flist. Have you ever foun the actor or actress or photo or drawing that perfectly matches the image of a fictional character inside your head?
