Amy Barksdale: Difference between revisions

One issue with which a number of fanfic writers wrestled was Amy's occupation. What exactly did she do? [[Kara Wild]] (in the [[Driven Wild Universe]]) suggested that she was an art appraiser, an idea that was adopted by other writers, such as [[Greystar]] in his [[The Longest Year]] series. The [[Abruptly Amy (series)|Abruptly Amy]] parody brought forth the intriguing notion that Amy was secretly a spy, which was also taken up elsewhere (e.g., [[The Angst Guy]]'s "[[Prayers for a SAINT]]"); [[Brother Grimace]] parlayed this even further in "[[It's All About Respect]], "where the insinuation was made that Amy was part of a special-operations group with the U.N (however, this has been [[retconned]] to bring Amy into line with the Amy of the [[Falling Into College]] series, where she is a professor at [[Tennyson University]]). [[Peter Guerin|Peter Guerin's]] fanfics portrayed her as an intrepid reporter, while [[Richard Lobinske]] set her up as a college professor in the [[Falling Into College]] series and as a magazine writer in "[[Misery's End]]." Show creator Glenn Eichler offered his own suggestions (see "External Links").
