Notes:

Unfortunately a panfandom kink meme would be impossible to keep organized, since there are so many possible fandoms to choose from. But since lots of people seem to want some kind of meme: FS anon meme tomorrow?

I've read Watership Down approximately eventy-billion times as a kid, and recently I discovered it again via the audiobook. The prologue states that Hazel is based off of a commander that the author served under. So... you're partially right. (Unless Richard Adams actually did serve under him. Wouldn't that be wild?)

[(Anonymous)]

OMG me too, the Dark Materials trilogy and Narnia and The Borrowers and Narnia, all read until they got lost or fell to pieces from being loved so much.
Part of what made Watership Down so good was that it was a story he made up for his children while driving them for long distances. I used to have stories like that told to me, and they were always my favorites. I've been listening to the recent copy from audible, lately- which narrator is your audiobook read by?

Richard Adams was drafted during WWII, but he only served in India and the Middle East. I think if he had served under Major Winters and they rescued Kurt Vonnegut from captivity the world would have imploded.

[(Anonymous)]

Whoops, I said Narnia twice. I meant Secret Garden.

I think if he had served under Major Winters and they rescued Kurt Vonnegut from captivity the world would have imploded.

...I'd like to think that somewhere, in an obscure corner of the multiverse, this really happened.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh man, I'm glad you put that down. It's a genre thing as well as the kind of character. WD feels a bit like postapocalyptic British SF (John Wyndham, John Christopher and all) to me, and there's always those gentleman-captains/subalterns saving the day. Winters might be American (and hey! Hazel's a bunny!) but he feels like one of those guys to me.

[(Anonymous)]

It's all the bonding that happens during that struggle for survival and through the fear. It's classic and universal truth, and those gentlemen-and-rough soldiery as illustrated in La Grande Illusion.

Speaking of bunnies- have you heard of that fantastic AU Band-of-Brothers fic with dæmons? This correlation with Watership Down has gotten bad enough so that I wish Winters had a rabbit or hare. Prince-with-a-Thousand-Enemies, so to speak, as paratroopers are supposed to be surrounded.

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

...and then a scary Black Rabbit takes them both away. (I love this secret.)

[(Anonymous)]

"Yes, that's what I've come for," replied the other. "You know me, don't you?"

"Yes, of course," said Hazel, hoping he would be able to remember his name in a moment. Then he saw that in the darkness of the burrow the stranger's ears were shining with a faint silver light.

"Yes, my lord," he said. "Yes, I know you."

"You've been feeling tired," said the stranger, "but I can do something about that. I've come to ask whether you'd care to join my Owsla. We shall be glad to have you and you'd enjoy it. If you're ready, we might go along now."

By extension, Winters would be asked if he'd like to assume command of ghostly Easy Company, looking after them and keeping up morale with his good buddy Nixon.

[parenthesised.livejournal.com]

just this snippet has me in tears...

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

I'll have to read about Winters. Sounds too good to miss!

[sistermagpie.livejournal.com]

Now I think it too!

[(Anonymous)]

Glee! I has infected you with bunny-eared WWII soldier thoughts. Alternately, rabbit-wearing-a-helmet. :D

[c-of-exuberance.livejournal.com]

I agree completely! Love this secret!

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

What's the non-WD fandom please?

[(Anonymous)]

Band Of Brothers. Sorry, I ought to have made it more obvious.

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I figured it might be but my google-fu failed me.

[(Anonymous)]

Who's Winters?

[(Anonymous)]

Major Richard "Dick" Winters. He's portrayed in Band of Brothers by Damian Lewis, above. It's just a little awkward to explain to people that when I watch that miniseries, I can't help seeing Winters as an English hlessi rabbit working his way up the Owsla.

[childings.livejournal.com]

I love this secret! That's such a cool comparison

[fiver.livejournal.com]

Holy crow, a Watership Down secret?! :DDD

[(Anonymous)]

:D!!

It is one of my favorite books of all time, and I have always loved Hazel, Blackberry, Holly, Rabscuttle and Bigwig. I guess it's one of those classics that don't get thought about a lot, or maybe it's getting increasingly perscribed by schools so kids are starting to hate it, but it doesn't get enough good, fresh press IMO.
