The main characters were named Jenny and Sean, and their time-travel thing was never described as anything other than "the tachyon device." Time Team? Something like that? They met Da Vinci once.
Oh!! I take it back. I loved that shit.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

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
It was a math show, for elementary school kids, in the mid to late eighties, and maybe early nineties. They'd have music segments, and some other little things, and an ongoing Dragnet parody called Mathnet (with Sergeant Monday) where the detectives would have to use different math skills to solve the crimes. (And it was usually something interesting, like breaking a code, not just arithmetic.)
Speaking of crazy coincidences... You too can download parts of old Mathnet episodes!
George Frankly! Aww. Love him.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hell, even I loved Mathnet. I didn't believe any of it, mind you, but I adored the writing and the satire.

Anybody want to beta my "Alice Hoffman" story? I'm such a little faker...first David Simon, then Alice Hoffman...Oh, and Philip Roth. Someday I'm gonna be a big, grown-up writer and have a voice of my very own.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
In my attempt to fix the pacing problems with Lucy by opening with an extensively rewritten version of the former Ch. 3, I've managed to move the first meeting between the hero and heroine from p. 63 to p. 24.
If nothing else, that has to be an improvement.

Susan, I'd say so.
erika, was out all day. Send, please.

Because books.
Susan, insent. And yay for sooner hero/heroine meeting.
erika, that's so strange -- I just picked up Alice Hoffman's Blue Diary at the library this week, and I haven't read her in a few years. If it's not too long, I'd be happy to look at it -- I'm a little swamped between work and the fact that we're suddenly moving, but I'd be happy to read it.

Ok, cool. It's not quite done yet, but I'm thinking of sending it someplace next week...and I don't spot everything for myself. Sometimes my writing isn't as different from fic as I would like...insent in a bit. I'm such a little mimic/hero-worshipper. You guys are lucky to miss my Bridget Jones period...that was v.v. bad. ETA: Deb, AmyLiz, insent. Thanks a lot.
