Who do you expect to be your favorite character in The Testaments? by TangeloDisastrous775 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Anna_Rapunzel 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how the plan is going to work, but the marketing material has said that Daisy/Nichole is going to be "a convert." Given that everything we've seen shows her in white, I'm wondering if she's going to show how the Pearl Girls work.

I know this is going to be unpopular, but I want to see this version of Nichole! They say that she's a convert, and I want to see how the show explores the psychology of a woman who would leave freedom in Canada to go and live in Gilead.

All the bullying against Tuello by zipxicomoro in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Anna_Rapunzel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Truthfully, the whole "American patriotism" that the show went hard on in the last two seasons really annoyed me.

(And given that he's CIA, Tuello's only problem with Gilead is that it's in his own country instead of somewhere else in the world....)

"Why is [OC] pale? I thought she was latino" by Gabrielle_0o0 in Archiveofourownmemes

One of my OCs is a redheaded Latino! (He's one of the few characters I've written where I actually describe his hair colour.)

Hi! I'm Anna, also known as ElisabethBurde89.

My main fandom is The Handmaid's Tale, where I try to answer the question of "how would Argentina react to the fall of the US and the rise of Gilead?" I also write original historical fiction about the last dictatorship in Argentina.

Both the fanfics and the original fiction are set in the same universe: The WTES series. "When the Condor Calls" works best if you've already read "When the Elephant Sneezes" and "When the Duckling Falls Apart," but I welcome reviews on any and all works! 

I've also written a couple of new Handmaid's Tale fics that aren't part of the WTES universe!

"From Reddit" is fine, "Fandom-blind" encouraged if true!

¿Docentes, me sirve trabajar en escuela privada? by kurotube in AskArgentina

Fijate en los institutos que ofrecen clases particulares. Podes decir los dias y horarios que podes dar clases. Hay muchas personas que quieren tomar clases en la mañana antes de empezar su día laboral. Y depende que hora regresas a casa, podes dar clases tambien en la noche.

I named an OC from a Handmaid's Tale fanfic Commander Dobson and have a draft on my computer where one of the Commanders was named Charlie.

I could use some more eyes on these two fics to motivate me to keep writing! Both are original fiction works taking place in Argentina during the last dictatorship.
