That's it as far as context goes.  So!  Who's excited?

I always thought the goal of fanfic was to build upon the source material -- not nuke it 'til it glows.

 
Context weeps for canon.

...and the attempts to instill it at school.

dawntreader90 about the Pledge of Alliance:

"the thing i recall most about the Pledge happened in fifth grade. we had a teacher who INSISTED we not take a breath between "one nation under God" because there is no comma. yet if you listen to everyone who says the Pledge, they say, "one nation *breath* under God" and they say it like there's a comma. they pause. to this day, i'm probably the only person on the planet that knows there isn't a comma. and now you.

that is what i ultimately learned after all my years of saying the Pledge of Allegiance. :)"

should context be taught in school?

kishmet on why Twilight series is so popular among young women:

My sister's reading through Twilight right now and we're discussing it, and suddenly, about ten minutes ago, I realized what the book reminded me of.

A yaoi manga.

Edward/Seme: Gorgeous, talented, amazing, flawless, but also unbalanced and obsessive.

Bella/Uke: Faints, pines, possesses an inferiority complex the size of Manhattan despite the seme/sparkly vampire's obsessiveness.


Do you agree with said theory, or not? QWP.
