Last post in summer appartment.
• livejournal isn't recognizing tags with spaces in them. It's the first thing in the suggestions que and they say they're working on it, so no need to change all your spaces_into_underscores just yet.
• While I am on the subject of LOGH and original characters and sci-fi withdrawal and all that good shit, I have TWO PAGES OF SPECULATION on the discovery and scientific basis of ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY. Complete with plucky band of MULTIRACIAL SCIENTISTS who PREVENT THE LOCALIZED COLLAPSE OF SPACE when system is first developed (Galactic Union Era). Because this system goes on SPACESHIPS, and it POWERS THE SPACESHIPS (also other things) and that's why they never need to refuel -- perpetual energy machines! I love the future. But I was thinking, WOULDN'T THAT BE A BIT LIKE A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE? People are shooting at these ships and they are exploding in BALLS OF FIRE (in space! 0:), and meanwhile somewhere in the hold is a machine that produces and directs fundamental high-energy particles at a nearly continuous rate. This seems like a bad combination to me.
I'd fic it for real except this raises the fundamental question, "When is fic still fic? When it has absolutely no relation to the original series except common sci-fi elements and a timeline?"
• tarigwaemir tagged me for the top 20 OTPs meme. But I am tweaking it because I keep ending up with either too few or not enough and really, why follow rules?
TRUE OTPS
(reading fic where they are with someone else or not paired up is like reading a completely different series)
(ie if you write it I might read it, but I will not like it very much)
touya/shindou (Hikaru no Go)
killua/gon (Hunter x Hunter)
hisoka/tsuzuki (Yami no Matsuei)
heero/relena (Gundam Wing)
van/hitomi (Escaflowne)
syaoran/sakura (Carcaptor Sakura)
gohan/videl (Dragonball Z)
yoh/anna (Shaman King)
momoshiro/ryoma (Prince of Tennis)
akito/sana (Kodomo no Omocha)
arima/miyazawa (His and Her Circumstances)
rick/lisa (Robotech)
shinichi/ran (Detective Conan)
ramna/akane (Ranma 1/2)
yakumo/pai (3x3 Eyes)
PARTIAL OTPs
(I can see them with someone else or unpaired, but prefer them together.)
(ie a perversion of the meaning of OTP but I need to get to 20 somehow)
sasuke/naruto (Naruto)
shigure/mayu (Fruits Basket)
sanzou/goku (Saiyuki)
shuuro/kujo (Eternal Sabbath)
lean/nataruma (Orguss 02**)
kyou/tohru (Fruits Basket)
fakir/ahiru (Princess Tutu)
rin/alice (Please Save My Earth)
seishiro/subaru (Tokyo Babylon)
dick/barbara (Batman)
honerable mention: YHOO/GOOG ahaha. As you can see they are all pretty mainstream.
**I LOVE THIS SERIES SOOOO MUCH. Please, please, someone else has seen it? Please?

• I'm leaving Saturday morning for a Canadian college-tour-cum-mini-vacation (Windsor! Toronto! Montreal! Quebec City! My little brother is growing up!). I'll be back, ummm, call it a week from today.
