Turns Out A Neural Network Sounds More Like Me Than I Do.
Dreamwidth-to-LJ crossposting is a bit dodgy at the moment, which I suspect is because LJ has reset the passwords for a load of accounts that weren't complying with its new password regulations. Suddenly, Dreamwidth is trying to log in with incorrect passwords for a lot of accounts, and LJ's automatically blocking it for too many failed log-in attempts.
Or not. Who knows?
Whatever the reason, it seems a good time to mention that I'm mainly on Dreamwidth these days. If you're over there and we're not following each other, we should be!
In the meantime, as my most recent entry isn't showing up here, here's a manual crosspost:
I tried feeding a few lines of my most recent fic into a neural network to see what it would come up with to follow them. I'll be honest: its effort at writing fanfiction by me is absolutely spot-on. The bolded part is the original extract I gave it.
Scriabin lunges at him.
Edgar’s knocked to the floor. It probably doesn’t hurt as much as it would in real life, and he’s grateful for that, at least. But it hurts.
“Fuck you,” Scriabin growls into his face.
Edgar goes, just barely, to put his hands on the short, handsome, young doctor’s arm. Only to get just enough and snap his wrist, wrenching his arm right off and sending his fingers screaming into the air. The Thaumiel in Edgar shocks him and he goes down, against the glass.
That's when one of the centaurs comes striding in, the
I'm annoyed that this is so much better than my actual fic.
On an entirely different note, here are some notes made at assorted points in seasons six and seven of House.
I'm absolutely delighted that Chase committed murder. What a great development. I worried for a moment that the plotline would just end with 'they manage to hoodwink the morbidity and morality conference, he gets away with it', but after that Chase was still haunted by what he'd done and it was still putting pressure on his marriage. I have a very big weakness for characters killing people and falling apart over it.
Predictably, I became much more interested in the Chase/Cameron plotline when Chase was trying to conceal a murder from her.
I don't think I knew that Cuddy and House previously slept together, but I feel a lot about their dynamic makes more sense to me with that revelation.
'The Down Low': I'd forgotten that Wilson slept with a dying patient! I love that every character in this show is an absolute mess.
Also, kind of shipping Eddie and Mickey, the drug dealer and the undercover cop.
The episode with the blogger ('Private Lives') awoke a slight interest in Chase/Thirteen; they had some great interactions while Chase was worrying about people treating him in a certain way because he's good-looking. I'm so annoyed that I ship Chase/Thirteen and Foreman/Cameron, and instead the canonical pairings are Chase/Cameron and Foreman/Thirteen. ('After Hours', later on - where Chase helps Thirteen treat her convict friend - is also a great Chase/Thirteen episode.)
Predictably, the game of truth or dare in 'Lockdown' also had me thinking about Wilson/Thirteen. My pattern of shipping Wilson with every female character he interacts with (and also House) holds.
Both Rei and I laughed aloud at the end of that episode, when Thirteen flashed Taub as she walked out. Thirteen's the best.
I love that the characters on the show have become aware of the 'House has a revelation about the patient during a conversation with Wilson and suddenly walks away' pattern. 'You'd better not be faking this to get out of a tough conversation,' Wilson grumbles.
I liked Masters and I was sorry that she didn't stay! In a show full of incredibly unprincipled characters, she was a breath of fresh air. But of course the ground would collapse if House ever had two women on his team.
'The Dig': while I have some complicated feelings surrounding the plotline, I did like House offering to kill Thirteen at some point in the future, if she wants him to. Just a very interesting moment, and a kind of compassion we don't usually see from House himself.
Most of the way through the sixth season, it occurred to me that I usually expect long-running shows to have declined noticeably by this point. I think House has maintained its quality remarkably well. We'll see if it manages to keep it up.
Or not. Who knows?
