<HTML>What fictional villain would you most like to see Thursday confront, now that she's vanquished the wickedest man in the real world? For me, it's Professor Moriarty, hands down.</HTML>

<HTML>Nogbad the Bad is the villain from the wonderful British children's TV series of the (?) 1960s - Noggin the Nog. From the same team that gave us Ivor the Engine, Pingwings, Pogles Wood, and (I think) Bagpuss and the Clangers.
Personally I can see Thursday (and perhaps her father) having a bit of a hand in the redemption of Ebenezer Scrooge....</HTML>

<HTML>In the tradition of comics how about transferring tie-ins to books and having Thursday battle Artemis Fowl.
Or Jeffery Archer - surely no bigger villain to novels exists.</HTML>

<HTML>Just on the idea of villians, but slightly to one side...what if Thursday was in an historical text? Dealing with historical figures, but as they were recorded by the observers of history? Say, for example, if Thursday met the Emperor Augustus as he was described in an historical original text by Suetonius?</HTML>

<HTML>Not a bad idea! Maybe she could arrest Livia for multiple murder!</HTML>

<HTML>Combine the two- set her up against Richard III as written by Shakespeare.</HTML>

<HTML>Yes! And with Richard trying desperately trying to prove that he just wanted a horse so he could charge to victory - not to escape. (Everyone, see the set of posts about Richard III's horse problem).
And what if a Richard III from someone else's text got swapped with Shakespeare's Richard III? He'd be standing there saying, "I didn't say that! I didn't do things like that! Is this writer trying to have a go at me?"</HTML>

<HTML>Or Inspector Alan Grant, who solved the murder of the Little Princes in the Tower in Josephine Tey's THE DAUGHTER OF TIME, could get Thursday to infiltrate the play for him.</HTML>

<HTML>Have you seen the series SMALLVILLE, about the boyhood of Clark Kent? I kind of like Lex Luthor--this is when they were friends.</HTML>

<HTML>Got another reprobate - Sethos, the brother of Radcliff Emerson in the Amelia Peabody series, set in 1917 Egypt. Thursday would certainly feel the same ambivalance that Amelia feels and try to reform him. He could become a ChronoGuard and help Thursday's father!!!! Lord knows Sethos has fooled everyone in Egypt for years!!!</HTML>

<HTML>I'm going to refer back to an older message posted here about Ivor the Engine by fay, which I hope will make you all smile. I am ahuge fan of Ivor and had (and still have in the bookshelf next to me) two books when i was younger. Luckily my parents both like dit as well and would read it to me when i felt ill. Now this cheered me up no end simply because of my parents accents-my mum is very bad at accents which was funny on its own but my dad as the true star of the show-he is Australian and had not been over for more than about eight years at the time and had a strong accent and little knowledge of a Welsh accent. From this I ended up being read Ivor with an Australian-Newcastle-German-Liverpool-Scottishand occasionaly Welsh accent. I just remembered this and thought that I would tell you of my strange childhood. sorry about this it is midnight and i should not be allowed to write to other people at this time of the morning.

P.S. I would like Thursday to stop Claudius and Laertes in Hamlet before they kill Hamlet and Gertrude.</HTML>
