One of the best aspects of fanfiction is that we can take these awesome characters, and play with them, and make them do things we want them to do. We can create new characters in our favorite fanfiction! Maybe explore an aspect of their personality that we saw in the books, and expand on that, and even discover new paths for them to travel!
Sister Cities is a TwiFic that I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. It was inspired by an episode of Parks and Recreation titled, of course, Sister Cities!
Since I've been inspired by Parks and Rec, I decided to bring some of those characters into my Twi-World. I thought that having Ron Swanson as the mayor would be a little cheesy, but hopefully I've incorporated Ron's inspiration into a character, and that will give Charlie a little more mustachioed flair!
One character that we always forget in TwiFic is Lauren Mallory. Poor little Lauren was such a bitch in the books, then completely forgotten in the movies! I decided to look at her a little bit more, and it suddenly came to me: She's Donna Meagle. So our new character, fresh for Sister Cities is Lonna Mallory Meagle!
Lonna is less outright bitch and more badass bitch. She's funny and deep, with a biting sense of humor.
Of course she has a condo in Seattle!! And a secret, sexy life there! (Probably.)
There was an episode of Parks and Rec where they all ended up at Donna's family's lake house for a party, and they found out that #1) Donna's got some dollars! And #2) that her cousin is the famous Ginuwine!
Well, Lonna's family has a cabin at Lake Crescent, and it is fabulous. Her cousin is Sir Mix-a-Lot, and that actually folds in with my story nicely!
Hopefully Lonna will be much more awesome than Lauren ever was. I can't wait to bring this girl to the page in Sister Cities!
And, my favorite re-imagined Sir Mix-a-Lot song from Adult Swim: Table Be Round!
