this year the end of the year fic roundup does not warrant its own post

[pellucid]

Grades signed, sealed, and delivered!!! *collapses* I may have to reevaluate the wisdom of making my major essay/assignment thingie due right at the end of term. Pros: relatively few late papers trickling in, and there's also a bit of the whole "pulling off the band-aid" effect (if one can pull off a bandaid for two weeks straight). Cons: I HAVE

Yes, I think it only takes about a 5-year gap for internet experiences to differ vastly. Because you make me feel a little old, internet-wise, and then this friend of yours is older than most of my students by 1-3 years or so, and yeah.

Of course, there was also the person who commented about not being old enough to get through all the Harry Potter books initially but then enjoying them more a few years down the road, and I was all O_O!!! Because I'm pretty sure I was an adult for the release of most of that series. Crazy times! Even if I wanted children, I think I'd be slightly terrified of having them because how in the world do you raise children in this environment, when there are computers in day cares and such craziness???

As for Eliot, I think I'm surprised because he was pretty emphatically the character I didn't really notice or think about when I started watching the show. I loved Sophie and Hardison, I was interested in Nate and Parker, and then there was Eliot. And he was there and fine and then suddenly it dawned on me that I kind of loved him a lot. But I still don't love him as much as Sophie or Hardison, and it remains odd to me for my third-favorite character on a show to be the one (and the only one) I have a hankering to write fic about. Though admittedly, he is sort of my type. :)

And not that I'm particularly inclined, most of the time, to write fic about two men talking to each other, but if I were, Eliot and Cam might just be it!

This is something I think about. Because I found Minotaur's Sex Tips for Slash Writers when I was twelve, back before parents knew to be educated about that kind of thing, and I presume that I'd be a more attentive monitor of any hypothetical children than my parents were of me, but . . . with technology changing as quickly as it does, how on earth do you keep up if you're over fourteen?

And I got introduced to Harry Potter because my aunt was reading the first two or three books aloud to my younger cousins, who are currently between 18 and 20 . . . precisely the age of your students. It's very strange.

Though admittedly, he is sort of my type. :)

Well, yes. And that, more than anything else, is why I'm not surprised about this development. But he's also been the character you've thought most about in terms of backstory and thinking about where he comes from--even if he may not be the one you like most, he's the one that interests you most. It's like me and Daniel!

Hee! Noted. :)
