Turn Again: a Janet Fraiser fanmix (with ficlets)

[cnidarian]

Er, yes. So I made this. And I don't know if it's what I meant it to be (the tone is somewhat more depressing than I intended), but my excuse is that all my music is on my hd back home.

Ha! I am ridiculously gleeful at your response! I was SO nervous because I know you are from round there and I also know that my from-KY-Janet headcanon is something I inherited from you. Gah! But yeah, I wanted her to be from the kind of boonies, but not entirely. Somewhere in the Bluegrass region.

I would love to say I did a heap of research and knew that there was a very decent college that she could/"should" have gone to. But, in reality, I was just looking in the Bluegrass region for somewhere not on the Ohio side of Lexington and I picked Garrard because it didn't sound too much like a boy's name! So, I'm rather pleased how well that turned out, hehe. (Incidentally, I would pronounce it GAR-ard, definitely not jer-anything! I guess that's cos I'm a Brit?)

Glad you enjoyed the ficlets/graphic too. Most of the songs are pretty mainstream, which is why I only put individual dl links. I should probably have tried to be more arty with the choices, but whatever. Gosh, fanmixing is hard!

And yes, guh, that is a gorgeous pic of her indeed. It's from S6, Prophecy, I believe. Typical Daniel isn't around for one of the times her hair is awesome... ;)

Ooh, if you come to a decision, I would love to hear it and why you chose it etc! Learning peoples' Janet headcanon is one of my favourite things. *hugs back*

Belated further ETA: removed because this is public and, gah, you filtered for a reason. Apologies!

Oh, no problem--you were vague enough about it. :) And things are going a bit better. The thing itself has not gone away, but I've gotten some distance from it, and more rest, and I'm feeling much more capable of dealing with things now. *hugs*

And I forgot that that's one of those key British/North American pronunciation differences: y'all tend to emphasize the first syllable in names like Gerard and Bernard, and we tend to emphasize the last. And of course you're right that Gar should always have a hard g, but I've found that most people (who aren't from central KY) don't pay that much attention to the spelling of Garrard County and sort of assume it's Gerrard pronounced ger-ARD, which is not even remotely correct. :) Though now I'm really curious which counties around there you did think sounded like a boy's name: there's Boyle, Mercer, Lincoln, Jessamine, Woodford, Fayette (which is Lexington)--those are the surrounding ones that come immediately to mind for me, and none of them sound like boy's names to me! At least not first names. *goes to actually look at a map* Okay, I guess as you get further afield to the east you run into Madison and Clark, and to the southwest Taylor and Casey. Anyway, not that it matters a bit!

Also, I meant to tell you before that I have always vaguely associated Dar's "The One Who Knows" with Daniel and Janet, for reasons that I'm not sure make actual sense (and have a lot to do with the fact that the first time I listened to that album--sort of non-stop--was also the weekend Michelle posted her season 7 tear-jerker of a fic series (the name of which escapes me at the moment). But if you've got some amount of association going on there, too, at least with Janet, then maybe it's not just coincidence and there really is something about that song.
