Holy Crap, Look At This
Feb. 25th, 2011 11:53 pmIt's a Drabbles88! About the Trilogy universe! *all gasp in shock*
-D: *rolling eyes goodnaturedly* Okay, so it has been a while since you've written for straight BTTF, but does it really warrant that reaction?-
Yes, I believe it does. In continuing with the "I'm obsessed with the kidlets" theme, today's fic is all about a certain child's birthday -- thought not in the way you may think:
( Drabbles88 -- Prompt 9 )
Speaking of kids, I'm making some progress on the "Secundus" grandkids. I have some couples and some preliminary kids:
Chester Van Dort & Allison Laidlaw: Walter Van Dort, Emma Van Dort (Walter's the other name Victor would give a boy, while Emma is just a name Allison likes)
Vincent Van Dort & Mabel Lloyd: Virginia Van Dort, Henry Van Dort (I wanted to continue the V theme with one kid, while Henry was one of Alice's alternate names for a son (yeah, Grandma and Grandpa get a lot of solicitations for names))
Lorina Van Dort & Douglas McFly: Norman McFly, Benjamin McFly (Norman's an in-joke toward the first Part II script (it was what Marty Jr/Douglas was GOING to be called), while Benjamin I just picked off the list)
Marlene McFly & Jules Brown: Electra Brown, Hector Brown (Doc DOES get the time machine working, and Jules and Marlene end up history nerds with a bit of an emphasis on Greek history. Electra, of course, is a shout-out to the card game, and I decided on Hector after coming up with the above excuse for Electra. :p)
Verne Brown & Mary Elizabeth Wright: Dorothy Brown (I just like Mary Elizabeth and Dorothy)
Isaac Brown (Still working on him!)
Jonathan Lloyd & Charlotte Dodgson: Franklin Lloyd, Flora Lloyd (adopted) (Again, just names I liked. I also figured Charlotte, being adopted herself, would be open to adopting another little girl.)
All of this is still a bit in flux -- Isaac needs a family, while I'll probably add a couple more kids to a few of these couples. All of them having two kids is way too neat.
-VD: Was that part of the reason behind Isaac?-
A little, yeah. I kind of wanted to give either Marty or Doc a third kid for variety, and Doc won out. And since I follow the fandom's tendency to give him a girl for the third kid (or, in Trilogy's case, two girls for the price of one), I decided on a third son to mix it up a little.
-J: I think you've got a bit of an addiction to making family trees.-
Hey, there are far worse ways for me to be spending my time.
-TTV: I have to ask -- are any of the grandchildren Touched?-
I would imagine a few are, yeah. Lorina probably passes it on to at least one of her kids, and Doc's strain would show up somewhere in the boys' families. This is a sciency lot in general, after all.
-TD: *laugh* Oh, we're more than aware.-
:p
Okay, I'm running out of things to say here, so let me leave you with some weird-ass Z names I found on that Victorian Era names site:
Girls: Zona, Zylphia
Boys: Zebulon, Zedock
There were some other weird ones further up in the alphabet, but these are the ones that REALLY stuck out. For obvious reasons.
-TTV: *stare*-
-VuM: Suddenly "Fitzwilliam" doesn't seem so bad, huh?-
-TTV: I'll give you that it's better than "Zedock."-
