Light a fire under your nerds.

Well, I managed to hang on to my fancy asst. editor job, just barely. I got through about sixty submissions in two days, with a handful more to go through by Saturday. Unsurprisingly, my muse is a little shellshocked. So, I'm thinking a meme or two might help.

Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change. Something tiny (e.g. "and then Peter got pizza instead of making grilled cheese") or big (e.g. "and then Claude agreed to the Devil's offer") and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

And/or:

Give me a prompt for a five-sentence fic.

Also, White Collar, Dollhouse, and Better Off Ted- big thumbs up. Excellent television right there.

Oh it is. But it's got Ian McKellan, and Ruth Wilson (my favorite Jane Eyre).

He's less of a.. well, twat, then DCI Bilborough, I think.

He totally could! I like him as Wash even more than Sparrow as Zoe.

Ooh, well, that probably helps. It's on one of the cable channels, right?

Aw. DCI Bilborough was just so young, I think he kind of had to be a bit of a twat. I think he would've grown out of it.

I was so proud of me for that idea. Although it is rather obvious.

(Gah, jeez, don't know where this comment disappeared to. Anyway...)

Yeah, it's on AMC. Though it doesn't appear to be airing again any time soon, unfortunately. I might have to swing by iTunes for the other episodes.

True enough, true enough. Once he established himself, he'd normal off.

Only obvious because it's so good.

(It was probably in that weird time where comment notifications were getting lost)

Oh, I hate it when that happens. Although I wouldn't go to iTunes, I'd go somewhere a lot less legitimate.

Yes. Which is what I'm sure happened. When he lived happily ever after, no question.

Heh. I have a similarly good (or really obvious, either way) idea for Claude's backstory. I'm kind of looking forward to this and, of course, I'm not going to get to actually write it for weeks.

We'll see. The less legitimates might not have it- I haven't checked.

No question whatsoever. He became the beloved hardbitten leader with a heart of gold, exactly like Sam Vimes.

Oh boy! You better be looking forward to it- I know I'd be if it was mine.
