A road not taken (yet?) Being a frustrated prospective self-underutilized funny animal cartoonist while having ursulav on your flist leads to a certain cognitive dissonance.

Random quotation from a previous entry The rest of 142 pages has been spent beating off prospective sex partners with a Mary Sue stick. Which, as we all know, backfires. Inevitably, spectacularly and often.

S*G*C Larry Linville coulda played Rodney McKay.

Sick of it I realized yesterday that I'd put a couple of bloopers in AKOTAS this week: in the fairy tale and space timelines, when Arthur led the British forces in a preemptive strike against the Roman emperor Lucius, Merlin stayed home with Guenevere to run the kingdom (reflective of that Merlin is dead by this point in the plot, in all the sources, and does not go on the Roman campaign). But in one throwaway pun each arc in the last week I've shown Merlin and Arthur in the same place. When I newsposted on the site about this, on the message board readers argued that Merlin just always turned up anywhere he wants to, for which the sources do in fact provide plenty of precedent. But I think I will continue to regard them as bloopers, though at the moment I'm too under the weather to care what I can, or am willing to, do to correct them if anything.

I too just assumed that he could go wherever he wanted; I'm never surprised to see Merlin anywhere.

Feel better, mmkay?
