stolen_breechesOkay PansyBunny :) I'll give your interview questions a try here! lol
1.)What is your favorite Felicity/Ben scene in the books?
Okay, um, so many, well I would probably have to say that my favorite scene is from my favorite book. The scene where Felicity rides out into a storm to try and talk Ben into coming back before the bounty hunters find him. I LOVE the pictures of Ben in that book the best. To the point that I have snapped apic with my cell phone and made the one from the scene I am talking about into a wallpaper. ...I'm so lame....
2.)Do you agree with the choice of Kevin Zegers play Ben in the Felicity movie? Who would you have liked to see portray Ben?
I'm not very good at remembering names of actors. I think that Kevin did a good job, but I do not fully feel that he looked that part or that he acted as much as Ben from Book Verse. I think that Kevin did good with what he was given as lines and scenes. I would have preferred someone that looked more like Book Ben (6ft, brown hair pulled back, brown eyes) and acted more like him. I would have also liked more of the Ben Scenes from the books. Ben 'scolding' Felicity for wanting to to go the Ball, my favorite scene from Saves the Day, although I did love the line 'You'll not see me again Felicty Merriman.'
3.)What do you imagine Ben and Felicity looking like 5 years atfer the latest book?
That is a good picture there girl. ;) Hmm.. I see them married of course, with children, Ben running his own store or perhaps Mr. Merriman giving Ben his store. Felicity helping to run it.
4.)Was there something you wish had been put into the Felicity movie that wasn't?
haha I think I already answered that earlier.
5.)Do you think American Girl should let Ben go to war?
I think it would be interesting to see it actually take place.
6.)What kind of life do you see Ben and Felicity having together?
I would hope a happy one. Many more adventures.
7.)Do you imagine Ben and Felicity having children? If so, how many and what genders?
But of course! Scary part to this is that women are fairly common to die in childbirth. Or even the child themsevles. I sadly, would see them losing one child very young, perhaps in birth. Probably because of how common it would be back then, also to see it pull them closer together. Children in total? Oh my, given age, time, umm.. maybe 4-5, a mixture of boys and girls, perhaps the last two could be twins!
8.)What do you think would be a good story for the next Felicity book?
Ben going to war and him and Felicity starting to show their feelings, since we have heard that mrs. Tripp herself saw them getting married.
9.)Should AG eventually age the historical girls, or do you believe that's best left to the fans' imaginations?
I think so, I mean if they could do that to Rugrats ( and even give the teens their own show) and Simpsons could so episodes of adult children, I think AG could age them. I mean, Felicity has been 12 since..what...1991/1992?
and lastly, 10.)Is there a song or piece of music that automatically makes you think of Ben and Lissie? (For me, it's "Spend My Lifetime Loving You" by Marc Anthony and Tina Arena, from the Mask of Zorro film, among others)If you have more than one, list them!
Hmm.. I need to listen to that!
1) Collide: I heard this is a Ben/Felicity vieo on Youtube
2) Say When-The Fray I just think of them.
3) All the right moves- OneRepublic- I think this may be because of the video they made, all the dancing and costumes.
I'm sure that I have others, but I can't really think of them...
oh!! 4) Cosmic Love- Florence and the Machines ( though I think of alot of couples with this, so I would call it my multi-fandom song)
5) my Love- Sia ( yes yes I know, it's a Twilight song, but it's so beautiful)

Date: 2010-08-04 12:46 am (UTC)When he finds out she borrowed his breeches. imo, it marks the deepening of their relationship into a real friendship & I love that.
2. Do you agree with the choice of Kevin Zegers play Ben in the Felicity movie? Who would you have liked to see portray Ben?
He did a good job, but nobody can be Book!Ben.
3. What do you imagine Ben and Felicity looking like 5 years after the latest book?
I'm writing a fic, and I'm still kind of working this out. But not much different from how they were when they were younger.
4. Was there something you wish had been put into the Felicity movie that wasn't?
More of the birthday stuff.
5. Do you think American Girl should let Ben go to war?
I'm not a big fan of their "extra" books. They're usually OOC and lack the magic of the originals. But it would be interesting.
6. What kind of life do you see Ben and Felicity having together?
An awesome one. I think they'd be really happy.
7. Do you imagine Ben and Felicity having children? If so, how many and what genders?
I'm sure they would. And probably 3 or 4 would live to adulthood. I vote... 3 boys and 1 girl.
8. What do you think would be a good story for the next Felicity book?
Something set during the war would be cool, maybe just from Felicity's perspective.
9. Should AG eventually age the historical girls, or do you believe that's best left to the fans' imaginations?
I love how the books don't push anything. This is a great place for imagination & fanfiction to pick up from.
10. Is there a song or piece of music that automatically makes you think of Ben and Lissie?
Falling For You by Seabird. I saw it on a fanmix from another fandom and I was like OMG, THAT'S FELICITY AND BEN!
There's a bunch actually. I should do a fanmix.

Date: 2010-09-26 02:42 pm (UTC)1. What is your favorite Felicity/Ben scene in the books?
At the end of "Felicity's Surprise," when Ben says that she was the one who changed his mind about her going to the ball
2. Do you agree with the choice of Kevin Zegers play Ben in the Felicity movie? Who would you have liked to see portray Ben?
I don't really follow actors or actresses as far as who would be right for which part. Kevin did fine.
3. What do you imagine Ben and Felicity looking like 5 years after the latest book?
Pretty much the same as the illustrations, except that both would be taller (Ben IS supposed to be 6 foot tall)
Ben- more angular face (sharper cheekbones, etc.).
Felicity- still with a bit of childlike roundness to her cheeks
4. Was there something you wish had been put into the Felicity movie that wasn't?
Not really, but I wish they'd done Nan more like she was in the books.
5. Do you think American Girl should let Ben go to war?
Yes. Wanting to been his defining characteristic for a long time.
6. What kind of life do you see Ben and Felicity having together?
Happy, of course. Owning a store and running it together. Lots of children underfoot.
7. Do you imagine Ben and Felicity having children? If so, how many and what genders?
Sort of answered that above. Very much YES! Oh, I don't know how many- a bunch. Six, maybe. About equal between boys and girls, and I like the idea that the oldest is a girl like Felicity was.
8. What do you think would be a good story for the next Felicity book?
Ben going to war, of course! Felicity and all the other Merrimans being sad.
9. Should AG eventually age the historical girls, or do you believe that's best left to the fans' imaginations?
Imaginations. Why? Because a) they're children's books, and so the characters should stay young and simple(er) and b) because I don't want canon to mess with my imagined version of events :)
10. Is there a song or piece of music that automatically makes you think of Ben and Lissie?
Not really. If I'm obsessing about them, then virtually any love song will do.
