Hi everyone! This is my first time posting to the community, and I'm bringing you a little bit of Narnia fanfiction, specifically a romance between Edmund and a young Calormene woman.

I absolutely adore Skandar, especially as Edmund, and while writing this he is 100% who I picture in the role. The story is very dramatic and very much a romance, so I hope you're intrigued enough to read it. Please leave some reviews, as I love feedback. Thanks!

Title: Like the Touch of Rain
Author: IrishSongBird
Rating: PG13
Category: Drama/Romance/Angst

Thanks, fabulous Skandar fans!

After much deliberation with ibelonginnarnia, we have decided to close skandarfans. In three days we will be deleting the community entirely from LJ, so please go through and save what you would like before this time.

To be honest, we're growing older and Skandar just doesn't spark the same flame he used to. Sure, he's cute, but just cute. We don't have the time to run the community with our busy schedules and we don't have the motivation either. Furthermore, Skandar news has been so slow lately that there's almost no point in a community.

We've made some wonderful friends and great memories here, so we want to thank you all. Stay sweet darlings!! Feel free to comment our journals at anytime, we'll both still be on LJ. ♥

Bye guys! I'll be seeing you around.

I just felt like posting this here because you guys are also responsible for my happiness today. xD Well, my birthday was on sunday, but I got this present today and I am still sooo happy about it. The Skandar Keynes Sweatshirt is the most amazing present I got! It was not that easy for me, though, because I'm a) from Germany and b) don't have a credit card. So my parents had to find some friends who had a credit card to get me this skantastic present!

Finally, some more Skandar photos! I'm more excited about these than I should be. :)

1) Skandar's OFFICIAL SITE has updated their gallery with photos from shooting Prince Caspian. You get to see horses, battles, stunts and more! Click HERE to go straight to that gallery.

2) Three new photos of Skandar have also surfaced on his site. Full images can be seen under the cut.

3) Skandar recently went to track down the Grey Wolf in the Jura Mountains, Switzerland as part of his work-shadowing with IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).

Information about his trip can be found at the Wild Talk site www.iucn.org/wildtalk as well as an audio interview conducted by Skandar with wolf expert Jean-Marc Landry and Deputy Head of IUCN’s Species Programme, Jean-Christophe Vi? which can be downloaded HERE (right click > save target as). (Quoted from Skandar.net for the sake of saving time).

4) Lastly, a new, larger photo has surfaced from Skandar's visit to William Tyndale School has surfaced on his site. Check under the cut, darlings.

Teenager with Darwin link stars in Narnia films

ON SCREEN he’s the bad-boy traitor who sold out his siblings to the White Witch in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

In real life, Highbury schoolboy Skandar Keynes is a teenage Hollywood hearthrob and all-round over-achiever who counts Charles Darwin, economist John Maynard Keynes, politician Tony Benn and King Edward I among his ancestors.

Seventeen-year-old Skandar brought a touch of adventure to William Tyndale School in Islington on Wednesday when he presented a treasure chest to help children emulate some of his great-great-great grandfather Charles Darwin’s simpler experiments. Skandar, a former pupil of Thornhill Primary School in Barnsbury who now attends City of London School, is studying sciences at A-level. Speaking exclusively to the Tribune, he said: “I’m doing biology, chemistry, maths, further maths and history. When I was choosing I thought I enjoy sciences. They’re not something I can pick up on in the future like English literature.”
He is determined that filming – work on a third Narnia film starts in Australia in July – will not distract him from his studies. “It’s not too hard to focus on work,” he said. The visit to William Tyndale was arranged to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth. He said: “My dad asked if I wanted to do this. I know a little about Darwin. I believe in everything he said. It wasn’t really stressed on me but I’ve been aware of it.”

The treasure chest, provided under a joint project between the Wellcome Trust and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, contains stickers, a plant press, a mini-seed bank and other resources to help children take part in Kew’s Great Plant Hunt. William Tyndale is the only school in Islington to receive a treasure chest.
Headteacher Tanya Watson said: “The children absolutely loved it. For them it was a terrific chance to have a well-known child actor and direct descendant of Darwin visit. “Anything that makes science a more creative experience for children has got to be good. It’s about opening children’s minds even more, keeping awareness of the world around them and not just seeing science as a Key Stage 2 Sats paper.” Angela McFarlane, from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, said: “The project celebrates Darwin the scientist and shows children that, although he was a genius, the way he did science used simple techniques, looking carefully at what’s around him. “They can go out and do some of the things Darwin did. They can send the information they find to Kew. We’re going to be making the world’s largest collection of daisy seeds which our scientists at Kew will be experimenting on.”

Mod Note: Should we bring our spam posts back? & Please do not post pointless posts just to post. It's tacky, the community will look messy and it will be harder to find the Skandar news on the page. Thanks!

YOU GUYZZ! I BRING SOME SKANDAR NEWS.

Our Skandar Keynes has been nominated for two different awards at the 30th Annual Young Artist Awards! He has been nominated for ‘Leading Young Actor (Best Performance in a Feature Film)’ alongside Josh Hutcherson, Freddie Highmore and Nate Hartley.

The ceremony will be taking place at Globe Theatre at Universal Studios, Universal City with the winners being announced on March 29th.

Good luck to Skandar and the rest of the cast!

Icons from Prince Caspian, including several of Skandar as Edmund.

They're at my community be_theicons , where the LJ-cuts refuse to work and now if you try to click on the LJ-cut I attempted to make or on the entry title, the icons go *poof*. So for some reason, you have to look at them directly from the main page.

As I promised in my comment on the last post by ibelonginnarnia, I'm going to post some of my latest Skandar/Edmund-Icons over here, starting in January... ^^

Hey there all you skantastic individuals! Where has all the action gone to?
Kayles and I both apologize for our own significant decrease in our frequency here. We simply have not heard a lot from our Skandar! Nonetheless, in the hopes of a bit of a revival, I will make an attempt to brighten up our community by posting more graphics and making a starving attempt to dig up something new each week or so. The more Skandar, the merrier, right?

To the core of this post: someone brought back something to my attention.

Do any of you remember our endeavor back in June of 2008? I sure do! We all came up with 100 reasons why Skandar Keynes is the best! And our lovely Kayles made us t-shirts and sweatshirts so we can all sport our love for Skandar! I just wanted to re-pimp this out so you can all have the opportunity to see it and purchase one of the icons of this community. It's a true sign that you're a Skandar Fan. Now all that's left is making skantastic tees....
