Series: Part 11 of Gift Fics and Yuletides
Summary: PHILIP AMMON IS A DICK *koff* I mean: An apologia for Edith Carr. (Originally gifted tosophia_sol for Yuletide 2012.)
Author's original note: When I re-read the book to try and write this story, I just got SO MAD on Edith's behalf. She's shamed by everybody including the author for being (in the author's eyes) this silly airheaded selfish overbearing horrible person who *quelle horreur* doesn't like science!!!!!1!!omg!!!eleventy! and prefers *shock* TRADITIONALLY FEMALE UPPER-CLASS PURSUITS *gasp!*, but SHE DOES NOTHING WRONG! At all! Philip Ammon is a dick to her from beginning to end of the book; he's emotionally running around on her with Elnora, and would do so physically if Elnora and Mrs Comstock didn't both shut him down right quick. He badmouths her to people he barely knows. He... well! I'll be rewriting the fic in this space if I don't watch out. :D
I haven't gone past where I stopped this story because honestly I can't forgive Hart for being just as judgy at Edith as the rest of the cast AND THE AUTHOR. So I can't ship them like the book does; I just get TOO MAD and I can't write it as an AU where Hart actually realizes PHILIP AMMON IS A DICK and takes Edith's side, because it turns into even more soapboxing than this is, which is A LOT. Maybe another year. ;-)
