Everything has a name/corporate sponsor now, and I hate it, too. But I try to console myself by thinking of things like Schlitz Playhouse of Stars and the like.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
"...he joined him at the window booth at Halftime Pizza across from the Garden."
Is that clear enough?
And this is why I'm so slow, the things I get hung up on.

Well, it's got to be right! I've spent hours researching things just for plot bunnies, much less things I'm actually writing.

I just don't want to have that one sports fan reading to point out something that I just don't know (and my google fu failed me utterly on this subject) like, say, no sports or concerts indoors at noon.

But the thing is, someone will always find something. Always.
Spend your time researching, yes, but spend more time making your voice real and believable, and your pace right.

It's amazing the people we worry about. I'm still waiting for some Renaissance history nut--other than me--to read Nessuno and complain that I got the year wrong that Cesare Borgia gave up his ecclesiastical robes and went back to secular life.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's an alternate universe!

Well, it was bound to happen. I've been name-dropped on one of the anonymemes as a "snotty elitist fan" who rages on about incest, is insufferable, and am tarnished by being friends with Republicans. ::rolls eyes::
God forbid we have opinions, or worse--friends.
Worse yet, there are errors of fact and it's pissing me off. But I will remain strong, and not comment. Bah.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Incest is why I have steered way the heck away from Narnia fic, in general. I don't even want to consider it. Incidentally, thank you for showing the way to something better, with your Susan fic. Good stuff. Also, doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out.

Eh, it's out there, but it's not the majority, and it's always clearly signaled. I'm less interested in the shippy stories (incest or OC) in general for Narnia, but I won't say that it's not a huge draw in some quarters (Fanfiction.net, for instance).
