Actually, what'll really blow your mind is that as near as I can figure, she had him while she was a teapot. Srsly. He's like, what, 8 maximum? More like 6? And they've been enchanted for HOW long?
I never wondered about it... maybe because it's Disney. And I like the theory of Chip being the Beast's illegitimate son with the feather dsuter. But it's also true the dates don"t match : Chip must have been born when they were all still objects. Or maybe they stopped aging while under the curse?
The way I see it, the spell froze all their ages- ergo, he would have been 6-8 when it was cast, and would have stayed that way. It's the only way the dog would have survived, realistically. And the Prince kept his looks, so... yeah.
Well, the spell was set to the Prince's 21st birthday, so he's bound to keep his looks. And dogs can live to be 15+ pretty easily... though I don't imagine it lasted long after the spell was broken, poor thing.
Re: A Ciel Icon Seems Appropriate For this Conversational Addition...
Sorry to bother you! I want to translate some of your HP fics into Chinese. And I've emailed you just now, here I am just in case :) Could you please check your mail box if possible?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall reading an interview with you once in which was mentioned a lovely short story you'd written subverting the classic 'princess in a tower' premise. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of this story, nor can I find the interview. >_<
So I was wondering if you might direct me to a list of the original stories you've written, and where they've been published. I'm sure I wasn't thinking of someone else. *frustrated*
Oh never mind, it was Cassandra Claire after all. *kicks self* >_< I do wish you would write something publishable, though. Some of her fanfiction was lovely, but I have far more faith in your ability.
I'm glad you figured it out 'cos I was all confused! :D
I hope to keep writing original smut, though I don't know how much of it will be considered "publishable." ^_^ I just don't have mainstream stories in my head; they're all filthy!
