Welcome.

This is a thread for discussing the Girl Genius novelization Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess, as well as all Girl Genius in general. The subject matter is the property of Phil and Kaja Foglio.

No spoilers are required in this thread. The assumption is you've read the material already. That is why this thread exists--to provide a place for people to talk without having to try to avoid giving away secrets.

I own this account. If you're rude or a jackass, I will delete your post. If you're debating in good faith and not annoying the natives, I won't. If people really can't behave, I'll delete the whole fershlugginer thread.

Have fun. Talk at will. If you don't want spoilers, run away now.

Wooster detail

[claudeng]

Another detail changed - when Wooster picks up the sniper rifle, before Dupree stops him, in the comic he looks to be targeting the Baron's head and states "Gil is not going to like this." In the book, they softened it to stating that he couldn't kill him, but wounding him should be okay. I wonder if the detail was more important than it looked, or if it was just something that made more sense to them this way in retrospect.

Heh, Wooster and Bang were two more characters in Paris at the same time. Man, Gil really needs to talk about what was going on there!

Agreed, it's hard to tell if it's changed or clarified; Wooster knew Gil would not like his father wounded either, but he made it very clear to Wooster that he *really* didn't want Agatha hurt. Guy was between a rock and a hard place.

Not just Gil, Bang's idiosyncratic view of situations would be amusing. Do you think Wooster knew Gil was a Wulfenbach when he hung out with Gil in Paris, or if Gil knew Wooster was a spy and thought he'd be a useful channel for disinformation and so made sure he got a Wulfenbach job offer? And Zola's view would be fascinating as well; what was she doing with all those Sparks?

I know Clockwork Princess said Gil didn't get to date; but I'm still hoping he got a kiss or two from his disheveled rescuees.
