AL nods. "Yeah, I've seen it and I agree with you. I think the only person I know who looked better after...er, if you pardon the term, Growing the Beard...is Commander Riker from the Enterprise. Speaking of the trope...he's the page image. He shaved it briefly in one of the four movies but thankfully grew it back. Now, granted, I never had to kiss him, so that could be a factor in liking the facial hair on him." She laughs.
She smiles at Alice. "That sounds like fun." She then scratches her head, thinking, and turns to V. "Isn't something with FV!Victor and Wonderland going to come into play later in the series? Maybe something can be inserted there?" She waves her hands. "Not as if I'm telling you how to write your stories...far from it. Just a suggestion." She smiles.
"Yeah~" she says to V, drawing out the word. "Those things were written before my Great Depowering of 2002." Beat. "You weren't here for that. I used to be your very typical Mary Sue...along with what I have now, I also had most of Clark's powers. You know, the invulnerability and the x-ray vision and such. I could, like, conjure stuff out of thin air." She grimaces. "Saying it aloud...I guess it does sound a little off. The alter ego finally realized that I shouldn't have so much power, so she took some of it away and put limits on the rest. I hated her for a while for it, but I got over it. Gosh, I haven't thought about all that stuff in years...but, anyway, yeah. So in those stories I have like no limits, so that doesn't make a very interesting read anymore and another thing that would warrant the rewrite."
AL then grins big at Alice. "But those crossovers are so much fun! Well, when they're not being creepy, that is." She snerks. "Secundus over Forgotten Vows and all. When Worlds Collide had a mixture of both. The Tale was entertaining, too, even though it's still not finished." She shrugs. "And, in my experience, it all depends on the animal. Like, whether or not they have some magic in them or something. Like the unicorns on Alnilam. They sound like regular equines while speaking their native language but they are capable of learning human speech. Some dragons can speak human languages, too. Again, probably magic. Otherwise, well I suppose it'd only work if their vocal chords are capable of forming words." She shrugs again. "My flit, for example, cannot. He relys on telepathy for the most part, though that makes it difficult to communicate with those incapable of 'hearing' him. Like Data or a couple of my friends who are self-aware holograms. Then he has to resort to sign language and that's often open to misinterpretation."
