The Challenge for January 2011:

Lily revisited



Years ago (we've been around for a while, oh yes!)we had 'Severus and Lily' as a monthly challenge.

[info]alicekinsno1 suggested to take a closer look at Lily's character:

Maybe something that discusses the character of Lily more deeply? I'd love to see what some of your ideas are for just how Lily went from treating Snape so harshly and talking back to James, to being the stereotypical "saintly mother" at the end of her life. There's something about her personality that doesn't add up.

That is to say, how her apparently selfless decision to die for her baby makes sense in light of the way she treated Severus or even James. With possibly a side comment about how despite being so powerful and gifted she didn't really show any of that by dying pleading for her baby's life without even trying to take on Voldemort.

Please post your entries here or in a separate post. I'm looking forward to your entries.
If you have ideas for new challenges, please post them here. (This is a new list, your earlier suggestions are still in the old post).

    That's not really the point, although, yes, Pearlette should have done without the needling.

    Sylvana, I was responding to BEING needled. If all this was a mere matter of differing opinions, there would be no problem. But I was accused by Duj of ignoring the text and then told I 'had no problem with child negligence'. That kind of needling/baiting is totally unncessary: I quite agree.

    … and accusing others of intolerance merely because they persist in holding views different to your own is the height of intolerance and debate-stifling.

    That’s right, Duj. Insinuating that someone who disagrees with you has 'no problem with' child abuse and cruelty to cats certainly comes under the umbrella of ‘intolerance and debate-stifling’.

    I don't object to you disagreeing with me about Lily. But I won't tolerate personal attacks.

      I've asked both of you, or all of you involved in the bickering, to stop it. Both of you get personal all the time, both of you can't give in with style, apparently. Do you - Pearlette, duj, et al. even realize that you sounds like in kindergarten? Duj started it, no Pearlette started it, no duj started it... Mamawood, it wasn't me, it was her...
      I expect the visitors here (except for the trolls and associates) to act like adults. If this goes on, I'll freeze the thread.
