YW#2 was like oh yeah and he was a [jerk] about that, and so then they agreed M doesn't need any more of their time, bussed their tables, and went on their way.

Am I supposed to update my story to use New Title? The character names and context are sufficiently unique that it would be very clearly the same work. Is there a rule for this? Am I overthinking it? It feels wrong to me to leave it the way it is, but again, gift fic. Who is in charge of this sort of thing, and how do I request a ruling?

You know, I don't think I do. I'll poke around in old files but we might be out of luck. Do you have any idea when it might have been published?

I'm other news yay it is time for yuletide. This year I totally hosed the line in the signup form for a letter, because I was trying to edit it in in the middle of the night while staffing an emergency shelter, so it's a good thing I did include prompts in the body of my request and I'll hope my writer figures out I MEANT there is a tag at dreamwidth if they want more data on my general preferences. (But I'm sure they will do fine regardless.)

I assume that even though that is happening on my computer, my phone also knows I am me and this is why today when I attempted to refer to my colleague Elizabeth in a text, my phone decided to AC that to "Rodney." Because I'm not really coming up with another coherent explanation. I don't know any Rodneys? So like...?

I don't know what I want to ask for related to this yuletide nomination (which, to be clear, is not yet approved so maybe they will kick it out), but like, I feel there is potential for some deeply cracked and/or profound fic in the interaction between the math, science, story, and ...other story, I guess, of this year.

Good to know, buddy. Good to know.

(spoilers for a show that finished airing 16 years ago?) I just finished rewatching ST: ENT for the first time since it originally aired, and y'all, I had absolutely failed to store the death of Major Hayes in my head because it is entirely not possible he and Malcolm didn't have a happily ever after. Nope. I'd just basically gone along assuming that he was injured and so he had to go recover on Earth and they hadn't brought him back yet by the end of the series. (I've been actively in denial about Trip since the show ended, but I knew I was firmly in the AU:canon divergence place on that one).
