Anne of Green Gables
Ok, who has read/seen Anne of Green Gables? I made it a little through the 3rd book and then kind of...lost interest. But I really do LOVE Anne of Green Gables A LOT. I think the movies are amazing. Do ya'll have a favorite character and what not?

Re: Anne of Green Gables
Ooh ooh ooh!
I've only read the first book (aauuugh I know it's on my list) and LOVED IT and I also love the first movie (haven't seen the other ones, but my grandma says they're not as close to the books). I must say that I don't really have a favourite character (although Matthew is probably the closest), but I really like Gilbert (is it possible to not have even a small crush on him?).

Re: Anne of Green Gables
Hahaha, I know right
The second movie is really good, but the third one is...well, not so good. I heard it's nothing like the books. But I mean, some parts I enjoy. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with the third movie.
Man, I don't think I have a favorite character either. I love them all

Re: Anne of Green Gables
I read all of the Anne books but the only one I really liked was the first one. I've also seen both "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of Avonlea", but the story interests my sister more than it interests me.
If somebody has an idea for a Narnia comic that they weren't planning on making themselves, I <------ This offer still
would be so grateful if they would send it to me in a PM. I am running appallingly low on ideas...! <-- stands.

Re: Anne of Green Gables
Assuming by the movies you mean the ones starring Megan Follows, then, yes, I've seen them. And I do like them.

Re: Anne of Green Gables
I've read the first book and quite possibly the second. My sister has read all of them and has told me everything about them. I love the first film, I don't like the second, and I don't watch the third... I'd say Matthew might be my favourite character; he's just so amazing!

Re: Anne of Green Gables
I love the first two movies!! I've read the first, second, and eighth books (don't ask why I went with #8), but found them rather dry and not anywhere near as fun as the movies, but that's just me (not to mention I haven't read them again for a long time). The third movie... it exists? *pretends it's not part of her boxed set* I will watch it, but I don't enjoy large chunks of it.
Favourite characters? I don't know if I'd like her if she was in real life, but I like Anne. And I don't think it's possible to not like Matthew (lovely man, he was). I like Marilla once she's softened and Gilbert once he stops being a jerk.

Re: Anne of Green Gables
Isn't Anne of Green Gables a Classic example of a Mary Sue?
If you liked the book and the character, how about ditching the "avoid Mary Sue" rule of fan fic?
If anything, avoid a Mary Sue that is more so than the Mary Sue of the canon. Like politeness to author not to overshine his characters.

Re: Anne of Green Gables
Hans, I'm a little confused by how Anne is Sue. Can you elaborate further?

Re: Anne of Green Gables
I had heard something like Anne is the really perfect person and the person who hels everything up in the end.
But I have not actually read the novel, and am myself not allergic (or not too much) to Mary Sues, and so I am only saying this to question the anti-Mary-Sue-rule. Taking what little I know or think I know about the novels as an example.
