Perhaps a fictitious Nancy might be entitled to a fictitious career?
With what purpose?
While my original post about career advice for Nancy was made tongue in cheek, I had hoped to provoke discussion of a much more serious series of questions which I have never seen discussed on Tarboard.
"What do you think of AR's portrayal of Nancy in the AR series?". "Does she 'come alive' in the same way that the Swallows do?" "Has her character been developed to the same extent as those of the Swallows?" "Is her role merely that of a deus ex machina." "Do you think that any differences that may exist between the way AR has portrayed Nancy and the Swallows are because the latter are based on real people and the former is 100% fictional? Or do you think AR may be holding something back?"
But then again I didn't want the discussion to be too 'exclusive'.
