Stupid Question, Stupid Answer: Part Deux!

[J. T./Jessica]

I'll try. He's still got parts to play in "That Within" and "Escalation", as well as "Gone Clerkin'" and "Adventures in Dinozord Sitting" (which I WILL get written one of these days), but I'll try to tone it down a bit.


Current projects have minor differences compared to older stories...
I.E., in "Conversation", actual ages (that aren't acurate anymore) are mentioned, in "Spirited Beginnings" it's said that Jessica's lived down the street from J.T. as long as she's live in Scenic, but in "...That Within" it's shaping up that J.T. actually moved to live on the same street as her when he moved away from home...

The question is this; should I let the older stories stand As Is, anachronisms and all, or should I pull a Lucas and sychronize everything?

[BloodAngel]

I'm not saying he can't be a promient character, but we hear so much of him that he's coming across as a Gray Stu. Toning it down so that it doesn't look so much like he's the center of the universe would be awesome.

As for the ages, I'd say leave them. As far as I know the story is still taking place in... what, 05? Whichever year was Mystic Force's year. But that second thing should be changed, lest it look like a plot inconsistancy and it looks bad on you.

There was a question around here somewhere, but it disguised itself as Waldo and disappeared. Have you seen it?

[J. T./Jessica]

*Nods*
Oh-Five, yeah.

"Interesting how you found an apartment just down the street from my house, Johnnie."

The dark haired young man gave a grin that was half innocence incarnate and half the satisfied smirk of a victorious warrior, "Innit."

"Oh, Goddess," Amanda groaned, "Not now, okay? Just not now!"

"'Not now', what, Mandi-chan?" Daniel asked, coming out of the kitchen with a can of cola in each hand.

"Jessica and the idiot are trying to make me lose my stomach, that's what," the petite blond answered, taking one of the cans from her own boyfriend, "If he starts singing that damn song, I'm finding a sword and lopping his head off."

"Hmph. Weapons bin is in the water heater closet, end of the hall, Shuichi," J.T. said, walking past Jon to sit down on the opposite end of the couch from Jessica, "Ya think ye can kill me, feel free ta try. Can't promise you'll survive the attempt, though."

"Would you two stop it?" Jessica asked, "We've spent the last five days moving things in here, I'm tired, I'm sure Daniel's tired, we don't need you two going on about killing each other today."

"She's right, Magnus," Daniel added, "Death threats tomorrow, tired today."

"Feh," J.T. responded, leaning back and closing his eyes, "Fine."

"Remind me again why I'm here," Jon demanded.

Without even opening his eyes, J.T. answered, "Bugger if I know, I sure as hell didn't invite ye."

"I wonder how Justin and Yolanda are doing on their date," J.T. added a moment later with a yawn.

"They're not on a date!" Amanda near-shouted, "Yo needed to get some new herbs and stuff from Patriot Woods, Justin just drove her!"

J.T. opened his eyes and looked at Jon, who rolled his own in agreement.

"And agreed to help her carry her plants," J.T. countered.

"Sounds like a date to me," Jon agreed.

"They're not dating!"

"Amanda," Jessica said, calmly, "Yolanda's gone through three boyfriends in two years, can you really blame us for having fun about her dating habits?"

"She's like my sister."

"She's like everyone's sister, Amanda," J.T. said.

"Yeah, the annoying younger sister," Jon quipped.

Four voices echoed in unison, "Shut up, Maxwell."

"I can just feel the love," Jon retorted, "You knuckleheads are killing me."

"Nope," J.T. said with practiced ease, one of Jon's few good qualities in his opinion was that the other male was armed when it came to battles of wit, "That's day after tomorrow."

"You actually got that scheduled?" Jon asked, incredulously, jamming his hands into his jean pockets, "Really?"

Any further comment from the blond was cut off as the door behind him burst open and slammed him into the wall while a blur of pink and white shot into the apartment.

"Amanda, J.T. guess what I found out in the woods! Come on, guess! Guess!"

Amanda groaned, wondering where her best friend got all that energy from, "Yolanda, if you'll just give us a second we will."

"Oh. Sorry, Amanda," Yolanda said, blushing with embarrassment, "I kinda lost it, didn't I?"

"She had it?" Jon muttered from his place against the wall, prompting an empty cola can to be thrown at him from across the room.

"Anybody hurt?" Justin's voice drifted into the apartment a moment before he entered himself.

"Just Jon," Jessica informed him.

"Okay, then," Justin said with a nod.

Everyone In Character?

[Enigma!]

I think so.

Who threw the can at Jon? Or is it important?

[J. T./Jessica]

Not important in the least.

I think I pondered this in another topic, but I'll ask it here -

Should I leave the re-write of "Spirited Beginnings" broken down into five parts or should I consolidate it all into one?

[Enigma!]

Whichever's easiest for you.

Why does no one like Luigi?

[J. T./Jessica]

Because his whole purpose in the beginning was just 'Player two's character" and he's not really gotten any personality or anything since then. He's never even had his own game... Wario wasn't introduced to the 'Mario-Verse' until something like ten or fifteen years AFTER Luigi, but HE had his own games - several in fact...

You know, that would make an interesting fanfic or something, Luigi getting fed up with being "Mario's brother" and striking out on his own.


If I said that I thought "J.K. Rowlings" was a pseudonym for Ginny Weasley and that she's trying to alter history (after all, if you weren't there, you know only what you read and are told) out of spite after Harry and Hermione got married, would you think me insane...r?

[BloodAngel]

I think you should stop right there because that puts forth the belief that the seventh book exists, which it doesn't.

Think I'm in denial much? (Added info: I haven't even read it, and I certainly do not want to know anything about said abomination.)

[J. T./Jessica]

Not as far as I am. As far as I'm concerned the series ended at book four (and sometimes even at book three, depending on my mood.)

Since, to the best of my knowledge, the Time Turner still worked... why didn't Harry and Hermione try again after their first failure? Maybe go back five hours or something and make sure Mooney takes his Wolfsbane potion so that Wormtail couldn't escape in the first place?

[J. T./Jessica]

Hm...

Hey, Daniel, what's your opinion on the Doctor/Merlin theory? (The one where Merlin is really the twelveth or thirteenth regeneration or something like that)

[Enigma!]

... Merlin ages backwards, meaning he'd technically be starting back at the beginning by the time he "died" again...

I doubt it's possible but I'd like to read a fic like that.

Why must it snow today?

[J. T./Jessica]

Because the Gods of Snow and Ice have been pleased by my obisciense and seen fit to bless us with their bounty.

It's not a fic idea, actually...
It's semi-canonical, at least in regards to the comics (Doctor Who in the U.S., Doctor Who Weekly/Doctor Who Monthly in the U.K.) that at least one regeneration refers to himself as Merlin on several occasions.

(Scroll down to the section entitled "The Doctor As Merlin")

But, anyway, Doctor meets Holmes concept (in "Just a Story Idea"), comments?

[Enigma!]

I think it's been done. In canon. I'll have to check.

Isn't it a shame that the Tenth Doctor has a bad back?

[BloodAngel]

*blink* WTF?

[Enigma!]

David Tennant is having surgery performed on his back. It's kept him from playing Hamlet on stage and they say it might keep him from returning as the Doctor.

Isn't it a shame?
