I have a slightly odd request for when we're discussing a certain character: pooling information about what we know about his/her life, timeline, and how we know what we know. As a prolific fan-ficcer, it's always helpful for me to remind myself of this kind of info (and tv show writers are notorious for contradicting themselves as they forge characters over time ( ... )

Oh don't start me on the trauma of chronology that 'they are all playing their own ages' started. I resorted to just making their ages meet in the middle and dubbing them 'ish' aged.

My fanon has always been that Jeremy lacked any particular desire to advance in the military. It wasn't a milieu he had been infatuated with pre-Blackout and his involvement with the militia started before they adopted the use of military ranks and titles. Once they did, he didn't see the point of playing Tom and chasing promotion. He already had an 'in' with Bass and Miles, he was trusted and had authority without any of the boring odds and sods of command.

That and he did suck at not needing a new command ever two weeks.

But yep, we do need a Jeremy week to really work it out.

Wasn't it your idea that Jeremy kept mouthing off and getting demoted? I remember it was someone's idea and I remember cracky fic....

I'm not on Tumblr and I don't intend on being (I don't even have facebook or twitter) but if someone could collect everything and post it here, I'd be much obliged.

I have written a couple of cracky fics featuring Jeremy, the ones that involved his reasons for not getting promoted...

If He Likes It
Moral Passion
and Inverse Ninja Law.

I like me some cracky Jeremy :D

The tumblr tags can be followed without joining (I think!) and the plan is for everyone to use the nbc revolution appreciation tag. I can do a weekly round-up of stuff as well.

See, I knew I read cracky Jeremy fics from you! The last one is new(ish), I'm off to read it.

I bookmarked the tag, but a weekly round-up would be awesome and helpful- thanks!

Oh man, I hadn't seen these before (and only had the chance to read the first two so far), but henceforth Miles shall be known by the moniker "Hide Your Goats Matheson" in my mind (a conflation of story events, I know, but nevertheless, it's the impression I'm left with...)

You, sir, are a crack fic genius.

If it is crack fic you like, then you should probably check out worker bees. It's my favourite :D

Hmm, do I still have the header knocking around...I do!.

Brills!

I know it's a humor piece (and it was hilarious!), but this is actually one of the best characterizations of Miles-Rachel's relationship I've ever read:

"Man, if I was you? I would sleep with one eye open and one hand on my balls."

Buhahah!

Also, strangely enough, I was JUST re-watching the Pilot and had forgotten about the Aaron is scared of bees line, and as soon as I heard it, I was like: this is so fic-able it's not even funny. But of course, CC has ficed it! You have ficced everything. I actually feel the way about your fic collection that I do about libraries and bookstores. I salivate with desire, but simultaneously feel like crying because I can never read all the things I want to in life. I already got to work this morning and promptly announced: Someone clone me, goddammit. And here I am reading your crack fic instead of doing the sixteen thousand other things on my plate...

(BTW, love the header and the title of the fic is pure genius.)

*scampers away guiltily to do work*

Thank you! :D

I went a bit mad during the 100 fics in a 100 days challenge :D There was a of ideas...still a lot of ideas, and I suck at short! 100 word drabbles some of those were meant to be.

Worker Bees made me giggle writing it :D Jeremy was just so PROUD of himself.
