Fanfic Writers' Virtual Water Cooler

Thor, I'm pretty sure WR was aiming her comment at the non-Americans in the thread, our friends abroad who might be blissfully unaware of the full-scale consumerist frenzy that is the four-day Thanksgiving weekend.

Oh no, we're aware of it! The lady pepper-spraying everyone was all over the news!

EDIT: Places I've lived: Sweden, USA (CT) and now England.

Places I've been: Everywhere I've lived (obviously), Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Belgium, France, Ireland, Scotland (yes, it counts!), Switzerland, Portugal, Italy, the Vatican, Greece, Egypt, Canada... and I think that's about it. Had a lay-over in Iceland once, but that doesn't really count.

Pretty much. I noticed a few people here didn't know Thanksgiving had just happened before I posted.

There's no reason you guys should know about American Thanksgiving.

We learned about it in school, in American history. So there...
Plus, hard to miss when one is surrounded by Americans in one's online life.

We kinda suck at history when it comes to Thanksgiving, though.

Thanksgiving is kind of hard to miss when you watch American shows/movies The history behind it though would be more difficult to learn from that since most just show people stuffing turkeys and making/consuming enough food to feed an army.

Form the TV I watched (I don't watch it much more), you were lucky if you got Thanksgiving specials. Mostly it was grocery store ads and Christmas ads cam eon shortly after Halloween.

I hit a spot in my fanfic where I have twelve million things to put in, but no idea how to organize them whatsoever.

I don't even know what thread to post them in.

I've got the notes organized, I just don't know which evens should come first, as there are several of them.

Hmmm..... Try rolling dice

Number all the notes, say you have exactly one hundred of them, laeled in terms of numbers, you know, 1, 2, 3, etc, all the way to a hundred, then you pick one number and roll the D100, the number it comes up as is where that numbered note goes, nomatter what its actual number in the list of numbers it is

Say you number a note, 14, Note #14. And you roll the D100 and the spot comes up as spot #71 there fore note #14 becomes event #71 in the list of events.

It helped me a lot at times, though it made little sense to others

Just use the notes to write out the scenes you want and then shuffle the scenes around when you're done to see in what order they should be.

[WraithRichard]

I'll try those. Can't hurt.

Hi all.
Reading some of the posts. Especially those about places they have visited.

The furthest I have been form England, to date, has been Germany. It was shut... As we went over the Easter Weekend. I was in the RAF section of the Combined Cadet Force at the time.
Whilst there we visited Holland.

I also have lots of notes with fan fic in. There are at least 5 or 6 notebooks with story ideas around my home.

heres a question for everyone , of all the single main or recurring characters left on any show who do you think would make the best match and leave out sam/jack ronon/amelia and mckay/keller.

Personally I don't classify those pairings as best match so I wouldn't put them in my list anyway.

So, more to the point, this is different for everybody. Though I do have one question, does it have to be a pairing that is cannonically possible or can it be entirely fannon based (even though at least one of those three you mentioned was never cannonically proven)?
