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.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Because books.
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!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
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).

Seriously?
Oh, yeah. Although tbf, she's someone with a visceral dislike for incest, dislikes identity politics, and hates what she sees as the "dogpiling" culture online. Which I find vastly amusing that these people are bitching about her, because I can tell that a bunch of them actually agree with her on some issues.
She's a fantastic writer (one I full expect to see listed at Amazon at some point), and she dropped out of online fandom several years ago, so I don't know why these folks have their knives out for her, other than possibly boredom.
But god forbid I make friends with someone that I disagree with on some issues, and refuse to ditch her because other people don't like her. ::shrugs::

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want to blaze into the anonmeme and defend Consuela. I love anonmemes.
Which one is it?
