Downal Wyth Bluddy Clichés: Prompt 3

[manniness]

Guess what?  Yup, another Thursday.

If you were thinking about writing something for one of the previous prompts, please feel free to do so!  There's no expiration date on these!

Right, so what's the next cliché?

Alice wants to be a businesswoman.

Or some similar variations: 
Alice eagerly accepts Lord Ascot's job offer.
Alice wants to go to China.

Many fics show Alice as a competent businesswoman (my own included) but I wonder if there might be more to that story.

A message that we would relate to and embrace! Thank you! That is precisely what I meant to say!

So... I'm going to pretty much ignore everything in the movie following her soar back up the rabbit hole. I'll just chalk it all up to the limitations of Disney films and let my Alice muse tell me what she would REALLY do to make her own path. (^__~)

P.S. If I can get all these tonally-different fic ideas to mesh, my next big bang is gonna be pretty cool. I just have to find a way to reconcile my initially fun-fluff of a story with the angst in "What You Choose".

Good thinking on the ignoring. That's pretty much what I do in my head!canon.

You've got months right? I'm sure you can work them together beautifully and come up with something totally awesome.

"Throw canon out the window - It's the solution to all your fic-writing problems!"

...I want a T-shirt saying that. Or at least an icon (I'll make one later)

(PS: If you manage to get all these ideas to mesh, I will be so impressed that I will make you a picture!... or at least an icon. Icons I can do.

But really, the only impression I get as I read over all our comments is that if this had all come from one person, we would be sounding kind of schizophrenic.)
