It doesn't look like we'll get much Hilson or Wilson in tonight's episode or next week either, so I need some talk about them to make up for that absence.

some more fanart
felt like drawing them in somthing different -
oriental clothing
and a dragon costume that they use in those chinese dragon dance at festivals

Guys. If you have a character who defines him or herself by a single trait and then introduce an OC or a character from a crossover who supersedes them, please don't expect that they'll be perfectly fine and comfortable with this. Typically, the only way that there wouldn't be some conflict there is if the first character is a saint or if the new character introduced acts as a mentor - and the first character is comfortable enough to accept them as such. Sure, there are exceptions to every rule, but for the most part a hint of jealousy or resentment at having been shown up is a pretty human response, even if it's only a quick flare up of emotion that soon goes away.

You want to know when this will be of particular importance though? Try when it's an issue of family. A new family member isn't going away. Their introduction chances the family dynamic to a HUGE extent, especially if you're talking about immediate family members. A new sibling, a long lost parent or child - their presence is going to have a major impact for the vast majority of people, especially if they find themselves living with the newfound family member.

And when you have a character who defines himself on his role within his family and is suddenly superseded in it? Yeah, you've got a mess just waiting to happen. Case in point, you want to know who's probably not going to happily embrace a new older brother? Dean Winchester.

Dean was suspicious enough when the concept of a potential new younger brother came up; an older brother, and especially one who tries to take care of Dean, isn't going to find an automatic acceptance. And that's not even going into how Dean would react to Sam having a new older brother all of a sudden! Dean takes his role as the older brother quite seriously and is one of the few things about himself that he takes pride in. Add to this the fact that Dean honestly seems to have no idea how to let himself be taken care of and you've got a disaster in the making.

For that matter, remember how Dean deals with conflict, especially when it's in regards to his family: he internalizes it and then he gets angry. Yes, he goes incredibly quiet when he's truly hurt, but if you look at his canon responses, that is only after he goes all the way through furious first. It could be a fascinating idea and it's actually one I'd love to read but please, guys, keep Dean IC while writing it.

In fact, please keep any character IC when adding a new sibling or parent. People aren't always thrilled to have the new addition to their family, especially if they meet as adults. Sometimes they are thrilled, but the reality of getting to know a stranger and to immediately love them as a sibling can be difficult. Sometimes that love comes along, but it's not an instantaneous event. It can happen! But like any major event that occurs within a family, it causes ripples that take work to resolve.

Episode 4: His name is--THAT ONE!!!!

Click me for Episode 4.

SO HOT. WHY. Oh well, here's hoping the heatwave holds for at least another day so that ryokophoenix and I can go to the beach tomorrow after my exam.

Clinical exams are tomorrow & the day after. My friends and I have been practicing with regularity, and I've been studying, and as long as I don't freeze up or do something truly stupid, I think I'll be okay. I can do a killer cerebellar exam now, and I have a constant inner voice yelling INTRODUCE SELF. GAIN CONSENT. WASH YOUR HANDS. DON'T FORGET TO ASK ABOUT TENDERNESS BEFORE PALPATION.

In between studying I have been:

- rewatching Jekyll, which is just as amazing/terrifying/funny/twisted the second time around -- Stephen Moffat's particular brand of suspense never fails to freak me out -- and I want to read post-series fic like BURNING. or maybe to write some. we'll see.

- listening to the Glee soundtrack over & over & over

- reading The Shadow of the Wind and Lolita, both for the first time, both enjoyable in their own way

(if it's wrong to post it here, just delete the entry, it's okay)

The other day I was talking to my friend about what we love in fanfiction and how it has influenced our lives. We also talked about favourite genres, kinks and how should a perfect fanfic look like.

And it got me thinking. Why fanfiction? Why slashfiction? Why it's so popular?

I'd love to read your opinions, not only about H/W, but any pairing.

Dearest reviewers at FF.net:

If you have a complaint or a question about the fic, would it kill you to leave a way for the author to reach you?

And with that in mind:

Dear particular reviewer:

While most teachers will tell you that redundancy within a text is something you should avoid - and they are right to a degree - there is another side to redundancy that is often ignored and it doesn't necessarily have to be bad.

It helps create a tone. Using some key words within your paragraphs and sentences will help you create a mood and a setting for a story. While it would be dangerous for a whole book to have the exact same tone because it can get boring, this can really help when it's a short story or, in this case, a one shot fic.

I'm not saying that I succeeded within the fic, but I can assure you: I repeated words constantly within the fic knowingly. I'm sorry that it didn't work for you.

However, if you mean the fact that I use the names of the characters rather than 'the blonde', 'the brunette', or thing like that, and thus the names appear rather frequently? Then I'm very, very sorry, but I'm going to keep on using names and keep the epithet to a minimum.

Dear specific Clerith writers,

The next time you write a fanfiction for Cloud and Aerith... put it under Cloud and Aerith!! I am so tired of clicking on a fanfiction that has been labeled as a Cloud and Tifa, under Romance and finding out that it's all about Cloud and Aerith. I understand the whole,"But, it's main focus is on Cloud and Tifa, and how Tifa is responding to Cloud and Aerith's romantic relationship..." Yeeeeeah. The ones that I'm complaining about don't involve or mention Tifa whatsoever.

Thank you,

Me.
