shadowfyr will become famous soon enough


And probably others. Personally, I always found the story to have vaguely uneasy concepts in it. I didn't realize until years later why. Funny thing is, someone recently posted on a blog about their experience with it. Turned out nearly 100% of his readers *had*, all of them had the same vague unease about it, and 99% of those people eventually became atheists. But Lewis was a product of his times and where he lived. Divine right of kings was a certainty, gender discrimination was normal, the world had few if any concepts about how things worked beyond a generally black and white, "Us or them", concept, strength was automatically right and some vague idea existed that implied that the divinely chosen leader can never make a mistake about when to use it, etc. For a mud to truely be representative of Narnia, it would have to include many of these ideas. How many mud do you think actually have them, and who do you think plays on them?

But that is just a guess as to why there are not dozens of them out there.
