I'm primarily fannish and I'm pretty much a spoiler whore. I love them, unless I hate them. I consider my journal to pretty much be a spoilerzone, under cuts and in comments. Thus, even if an entry isn't marked for spoilers, tread carefully. If you want to tip me off, though, I prefer links to "Oh, did you hear (spoiler)?" But don't worry, I'm not too tetchy about that.

My fic in my tags under "my fic" and I'm always happy to be friends.

Also: I'm a foreign teacher living in China. Expect fairly regular complaints about my students.

This is officially the worst fic ever. Why am I still reading it? D:

So, LJ is blocking TOR right now. What utter fuckers. TOR was one of the most reliable tools I had in China for accessing LJ while it was blocked for over a year. So, yeah. Here's hoping that China doesn't decide to RE-block LJ while TOR is out of commission.

THANKS A LOT, LJ. >:(

I'm a moron. I'm trying to make sense of the GG time line and... yeah, parsing Heroes time travel is MUCH easier, because at least someone put in a little effort to make that comprehensible. GG can't even handle making one episode coherent, let alone more than one at a time.

So, the place in canon I'm trying to write is S3, starting at "Keg! Max!" and diverging from there, although still using a bit of "Say Goodnight, Gracie" before going off the deep end. And it's impossible.

A sample of the problems:

• In "Keg! Max!" it's stated that Kyle's parents are out of town for the weekend getting couple's therapy, and thus he has the opportunity to throw the party. In "Say Goodnight, Gracie" they are back in town immediately, early in the morning, apparently the next day.
• Similarly, Luke and Nicole stayed at Lorelai's inn as a precursor to a ski trip they were supposedly going on. In SGG, Luke shows up at Kyle's house, saying he was woken early in the morning by a call about the damage done to the house, with not a single word about the trip he was on being canceled or whether he had been out of town -- nor any mention of HOW he was contacted, given that he was at the inn rather than at home.
• Let's assume that the party was on a Friday. That means SGG starts on Saturday, but then why is there a church service that Lane is at on a Saturday? I guess it could be a Sunday, but then why is there a syngogue service on a Sunday??
• Fran is dead. Her funeral is the same day as Taylor's grand opening of his soda shop, announced the day after the party as being the next day -- which, in theory, is a Sunday. Fine, okay, but funerals are not generally organized that quickly (unless you are Jewish) and also, it's one day and the next between the church service that Lane was at (theoretically a Saturday) and Fran's funeral (theoretically a Sunday). It kinda of works, and yet it would make A MILLION TIMES MORE SENSE if Fran's funeral were the next Sunday.
• Jess is perpetually seventeen. He was seventeen in S2 when he arrived. He was seventeen at the beginning of S3 when he bought a car and needed Luke to sign the registration because he was a minor. HE'S SEVENTEEN IN SGG WHEN JIMMY SHOWS UP AND SAYS HE ABANDONED JESS SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO, RIGHT AFTER HE WAS BORN.
• Prom and graduation are apparently the same damn thing in the GG universe.
• And this isn't really a contintuity error so much as a HAHA DEAN YOU ARE SUCH A DICKBAG issue. The party is, theoretically, Friday. Dean sucker punches Jess for making Rory cry. He then proposes to his girlfriend. He tells Rory this, expecting her to be happy, TWO DAYS after he tried to kick the ass of Rory's boyfriend.
• Related: Dean claims that Rory broke up with him and Rory doesn't dispute it. Wow, Rory, you really are a doormat. Did you completely forget Dean yelling at you in public, humiliating you, to break up with you? Or did you just think you deserved it, so it's practically like you DID break up with him?

This, BTW, is all from TWO EPISODES. To be fair, this is a show that occassionally cannot handle continuity within a single scene. But still. I think I have to toss out the entire episode and start from scratch because this is plain infuriating.

So, lately, I've sort of been thinking about the kind of mentality continuity I keep for my stories and how that compares to my personal canon. Mostly, the big difference is that there are some stories that I think of as continuous for my own amusement (mostly the Peter/Daphne and genderswap stuff), but in general I separate all the stories out. Even if there's some kind of back story I made up for a particular story that I feel could be generalized, I usually don't do it. For example, in "Lifetime Commitment" I mention that Arthur had a brother who died under mysterious circumstances, coincidentally leaving Arthur the sole heir to the fortune. Funny as that one is, I don't reuse it. I don't really know why, other than that I feel like it's sort of a cheat to reuse the same jokes. Kinda. Even though I constantly reuse jokes about Peter being too pale or can't help writing Noah without making his eyes invisible because of glare on his glasses.

My mental canon, however, is slightly different. That tends to be characterization more than anything, so I don't mind repeatedly mentioning that Peter has gone through therapy, or giving him a foot fetish, or making him briefly a Womens Studies major. Some of it's silly, but it's still part of how I see the character and a baseline to who he is. I inevitably go back to what I think of as the same baseline, since that's my standard interpretation, with some amorphous events defining how that came to be, rather than a specific backstory.

( Why these two are separate... )

Are up here and here. Combined with the official description:( they have me wondering some things )

• Today they gave us extra frog balls with lunch. Not, you know, frog testicles... because amphibian, not mammal. Balls of mashed up frog meat mixed with cilantro.
• We have acquired many DS games! This is promising for the elimination of boredom on long bus rides.
• Still feeling altogether quite blah. Not having to do anything today is nice, though.
• Heroes spoiler pic that makes me LOL. "What do you think, a b-cup?"   "Definitely c!"
• It's been very dry. Witness the amount of static:

   

• And merely for the "awww" quality:

What did I do to you that you feel compelled to send this crap to me? I like getting announcements, but including writers-block responses like this is pretty obnoxious.

Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why?

# Edward Cullen because he is gorgeous and a gentleman!

STALKERS ARE SO HOT RIGHT NOW.

# This one is SOOOOO easy. I would date Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a second. My obsession with Donatello is probably not healthy but I dun care.

LOL FURRY. Wait, are you a furry if the animal doesn't have fur? Shelly?

# The Winchesters from Supernatural... Sam n Dean are hot. Movies wise probably Jacob from Twilight. Idk lol.

Nnnng, hot Winchester misogyny! I'd love to hit that! With a nailbat!


But, okay, to be serious, who would I date? I'm going to go with not a Petrelli. In fact, probably none of my favorite characters ever. They are pretty to look at, but my God, the only sane response to most of them is to run away screaming. And maybe leave a good therapist's number behind (stuck to Peter's wall o'crazy, perhaps).

Date Anakin Skywalker? LOLOLOL D: No, a world of no.

Ohhhh, maybe Bashir. Yeah, I could go for that. His issues are relatively minor, he's a super genius with ~*~enhance hand eye coordination~*~, and he's hot. Plus, space ships! And roleplaying on the holodeck!

Between this and this, I have banned my first ever user from my journal. I thought about sticking to it just being a warning, but given that we've never once had a civil conversation, and she feels the need to bitch about me on her own journal without confronting me or linking to me, I see no reason to indulge any bullshit.

I've also turned off anonymous comments. Sorry about that. I have nothing against anons, but unfortunately this kind of thing isn't an isolated incident for me. Last year I was similarly harassed in my comments, multiple times by anons, for daring to post my own opinions in my own journal. (And yes, it was entirely by Sylar/Elle fans. I don't want to make judgments about whole swathes of fandom, but way to do a shitty job representing!)

And because my roommate will kill me if I don't post it, here's the banning macro she made for me!

( Comic Sans. Because YOU'RE WORTH IT. )

Today is not a good internet day. I got so angry I couldn't get back to sleep when my roommate was getting up to go to class, lost my temper twice, found that my favorite blog is debating gay marriage in the comments, and I am currently reading rapefic.

Okay, that last one is my own fault and I think the fic is actually fantastic. But. You know, this seems to be a downer sort of day.

(Work also sucked, but at least half of it was canceled. It prevented me from strangling students.)

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of tell you what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

This may or may not come out in prose form...
