[hippogrif]

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.

Hippogrif.

While the opera is the only version of the story we've gotten so far, it looks like there is a version floating around that seems a bit closer to what we expect based on the prologue. Phil alludes to it: http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110506 - "You - you don't want the one about how he was brought down by the Heterodyne Girl?" "Heh. No." "Good! I could get in real trouble telling that one in this town."

That really makes me wonder how a story of Heterodyne conquest could be problematic in Mechanicsburg. Maybe they're suckers for Storm King stories just like everyone else, and don't want to remember that their Heterodynes caused his downfall. More likely there's a lot more to the story. So many tantalizing details!
