I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Well, that's... wrong. At least it's well-spelled, I suppose.
What does it say about me that I'm actually somewhat more bothered by The Persians Do First Birthday Parties With Streamers And Party Hats than by Hephaistion Gets Pregnant? Probably that I've been in fandom too long, I suppose.

Oddly, the part that's bothering me is that I don't think Hephaistion would have known what colour-blindness was.
googles Yes; John Dalton is credited with discovering/describing it in 1794 or thereabouts.

Bow before Google and my incessent curiosity. Fandom is always a learning experience. Okay, sometimes the lesson is "you have a knowledge addiction", but that doesn't seem to stop me coming back for more.

My favorite quirk of fanfiction is spellchecker-caused errors which are then missed by the beta. For example, when Voldemort throws a Cretaceous curse at someone.

Hey, Emily. I don't need it anymore (I was looking for it for a Super Seekrit Project), but I'm still curious...what's the alien cat story you're always talking about?

And the one where Daniel used to live on Abodes with his wife Share? However, in my experience spelling-checker errors are worse going in what's effectively the opposite direction: my spell-checker dictionary now contains the word 'squick' as a viable one, but unfortunately that means that it doesn't pick up some 'spaces in the wrong place' typos, like "it' squick", or on one occassion (which luckily I caught myself before I showed it to anyone) a mis-spelling of 'squid'. (Which brings me to another unrelated point: try saying 'squicky squid slash' fast. The words sort of squash into each other.)

So.
... I appear to have finished a story I've been writing since, oh, 2001. Or so. Which is the finale of a series I've been working on since 1999.

I feel like I should smoke a cigarette or something.
