Fanon meme

Got this from halcyondayz:
Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.

I was stuck for a character, so we turned it around and she chose “Michael’s sister” for me. Here’s what I came up with:

Oh, what fun!

You gave me a very tough choice, though, because according to my own personal "fanon" from a prior story I wrote, the "real" Corinne died, as implied in Season 1, and the "Corinne Markali" we saw in S3 was actually, unbeknownst to Operations, a deep cover operative. But that's way too complicated to explain in the meme! LOL.

Kewl! I must have missed that one. Is it at Ranma's?

Anyhoo, how about...Errol Sparks? ;)

[jaybee65]

Yeah, that story's at Ranma's.

Errol Sparks, eh? That's intriguing. Let me see what I can come up with for him, and I'll come back. *g*

Just finished "Intersections." I had read it, several years ago, but the Corinne-factor didn't stay with me so much as the coming-to-be of Madeline. That was awesome. Thanks!

Here I am! Hi, gals!*waves to jaybee and nikita* I wasn't expecting to get tagged by my 'tagee/tagette?' :eek. What goes round, comes round...I need to tweak mine but I'll be back.

[halcyondayz]

Ok, I'm back. Now you know I'm a reader, not a writer so I'm sticking my neck out on the block. Feel free to chop :/

In 1986 when Greg was 4 years old, very few people had personal computers but his Dad, who worked for IBM as a middle manager, brought one home. Within six months, Greg had worked out how to write basic programs.

His Dad left the family when Greg was 7; he couldn't compete with his son and only child in his wife's eyes.

When he was 10, Greg notched up one of the highest score Mensa had seen for a child so high school and college were just a formality that he endured. Greg hated school...the social posturing, the networking, the endless chit-chatting. Lunch-times and breaks were hell. In high school, they called him 'geek' or 'freak' of sometimes 'freak geek'. In college, they looked at him curiously, but were mature enough to wait till he'd passed by before talking about him.

perfecto. it's everything right there. i can even see his scorn for the perceived uselessness of it all.

[nikita31j7]

And who can forget the inimitable “You couldn’t be in charge of my crotch!” Hmm. A defense-mechanism forged during a lonely and misunderstood youth? Nah. Just Greg being Greg. ;) Great job!

gack! Madeline's sister? She isn't even a consideration in my universe yet. This will take much ponderation

[nikita31j7]

She isn't even a consideration in my universe yet.

That's kinda the point. At least she was mentioned in two eps; Michael's nameless (until now :D) sister only got one ep.

:pat :pat tinpra, I think I got off easy...I couldn't write about someone I hadn't seen but I am 'she-of-the-little-imagination'.

1) Sarah Sinclair, with her dark blond hair and blue eyes, knew that she was their mother's favorite. She was the baby, the child her mother had always wanted, so different from their own dark-haired, dark-eyed family. The blue eyes eventually turned green-tinged hazel, but it wasn't brown. Brown. A color Sarah Sinclair's mother had despised. It didn't matter that Madeline said they were more useless than a naked mole rat's eyes. She was their mother's favorite.

b. On the one hand Sarah felt bad that Madeline was sick. So sick that she had had to be rushed to the hospital that night, hot with a fever no ice bath could cool. The screams had been awful. On the other hand it was proof that their father loved Madeline better. He had been crying, crying when he'd had to put Madeline in that icy water. And he hadn't looked at Sarah at all.

iii. She had wanted the doll, too.
