I wanted to start of a challenge for all writers.

You are a famous screenplay writer and you have gotten the job to write a screenplay based on Susan's life after herfamily dies.
Your job is to come up with the script, the plot and the other characters.
(USE THE BOOK!)
certain things that have to be included

1. Susan DOES return to Narnia at some point
2. A tragic scene of remembrance
3. An american custom for teens
4. A british custom for teens
5. Love
6. It has to be in scrip format

Script Format means
Character: line line
(stage directions)

GOOD LUCK
and the best script out there gets a prize....though i have no idea what yet.
oh and email me if you doing it
thus i shall be reminded to check.
:D
 
The problem is that, relative to the timestream of our universe, the Narnian timestream ENDED at the same time as the other Pevensies died. Although Earth-to-Narnia visits overlap gaps of time, they are sequential, with no backward movement in time; so there would not BE any Narnia for Susan to return to. Some fanfic writers address this by allowing Susan to enter The Wood Between The Worlds.
 
Perhaps, since Aslan is Jesus (in our world), He could, in fact, create another world of talking animals?

It's a thought. :rolleyes:

I was thinking that if the time lines where not sequential and backward movement was allowed, anyone could send Susan to another time in between Prince Caspian and The Last Battle, but then there would have been a record of Queen Susan in Narnia a 3rd time. This cannot be because Aslan specifically said she had already learned everything she could learn from Narnia and she would not return.

I understand that we in 'reality' Susan is not to return, but as a Script Writer this one of the challenges you have to face.
And I was kind of thinking along the same lines as Truman
 
Or maybe you could create an alternate storyline? It would deviate some from the books, but it's possible if you changed what Aslan said about Susan never returning. Maybe she gets caught up in an alternate reality.
 
That sounds slightly too si-fi for a Narnian tale...

Or you could have her return to Real Narnia, instead of the shadowlands.

I was going to say that. You can only do two things here: Change the story of Narnia as it is written by sending Susan back there somehow, or create a completely different world. An alternate reality will be just that, an alternate world, not necessarily Narnia.
 
By my reckoning Susan DID go back to Narnia after it had "Ended" how I'm not exactly sure, but I'd always thought that when she believed in Narnia again she went to New Narnia.

If that helps any...
