Our Statement of Belief(s):

Especially to our Narnia readers...

~Schmo and Sushi will not read, nor ever write, any Suspians. (For those strangers to the Narnia fandom, this is pairing Prince Caspian with Susan Pevensie.) Sushi highly dislikes and discourages movieverse fics, and she believes that a Caspian/Susan romance goes against Lewis' original intents. This ship is not from the books. It is a fabrication of the movies' creators and has no rightful place in the Narnia fandom. In the books, Prince Caspian is 13, and Susan a year or so younger. A passionate romance like those presented in Suspians would never happen.

Lucians (Caspian/Lucy), however, as long as they stay true to the books, she does enjoy and support, and may someday write her own. :D

To our Harry Potter/Narnia readers...

~Schmo and Sushi are both professing Christians. Because of this, Sushi will write all of our Narnia stories with that in mind - C.S. Lewis himself wrote the Chronicles of Narnia to answer the question, "What would Christ be like if He came to another world?" Thus Aslan and Narnia were born. While she tries to steer clear of overt Christianity, as she understands that it makes many people uncomfortable, there is a very strong element of it in each of our Lewis fanfics, "Sea Rat" in particular. Just look for it!

Also, you will never see any Dark Magic in our Harry Potter stories. The magic of Hogwarts and the theory of wizardry that is so prevalent in the real books takes backseats in the Funny Farm books, and we are comfortable with it. That is the way it will stay, and that's that. Thanks for reading!

Regarding reviews...

~Regular visitors may have noticed that Schmo and Sushi do not review often. It's not personal - it's directly related to how little time Sushi has to read fics. However, when she does read, and feels impelled to review, you can usually count on a well-rounded, thoughtful one. We don't believe that "this sucks" or "update soon" qualifies as reviews. (If you receive a review from us, it's because something about your story impressed her! :D She doesn't waste time reviewing poorly-written fics.) Also, those who leave well-rounded reviews for our story(s) can count on receiving responses from her - we'll always answer questions and take time to show our appreciation. Schmo usually reviews things on her own account (Kat Carbines) but, much like Sushi, she doesn't review often. It's more due to never being able to really be as coherent in them as she'd like, rather than time, but she almost always does something to show her appreciation!

Insert line here...

Notices and Other Things of a Note-y Nature:

~The Funny Farm stories are not just our own, but also belong in part to our fellow FF member and good friend Hannah-Schmurf. She co-wrote it with us! Actually, it was mainly me (Sushi) and her, but, hey... (Note from Schmo: Don't listen to them. I wrote a good chunk of the first... three books. S'not my fault I moved. D:) (Note from Sushi: A good chunk? What's that? maybe 1/5? :P JK. Kinda.)

~Our friend Haley (Snoodles), who is our other friend Hannah (Schmurf)'s older sister, 'plays' Haley Schreiter in our Funny Farm stories. Visit her profile!

~To all "Sea Rat" readers!

Disclaimer and Adverts:

We do not own ANY of J.R.R. Tolkien's or C.S. Lewis' or J.K. Rowling's or T.A. Barron's supremely awesome characters. So there.

The minute we do, though, we'll tell you.

I never thought I'd say this, but here's my inspiration for Enna's dress in chapter 26 of "Sea Rat". :)

Here's the tune to the song Aramir sang in chapter 23 of "Taming the Tides." :D
