NOMINATIONS WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL TOMORROW MIDDAY EST.

Anyone else had reality screw with the fiction in their head lately?

Example:

My boyfriend is in love with the Dresden Files, and recently Netflix-ed (yes it's a verb) the tv series, and lent them to me as well. While watching 'Inside the Dresden Files' I realize that Paul Blackthorne (Harry Dresden) has got this adorable British accent, while Terrence Mann (Bob, here portrayed as human-form and v. v. British sounding) is from Kentucky.

My mom goes, "Oh yeah, there's a lot of Manns in Kentucky," which, when you're listening to that sentence and not reading it, makes you twitch amusingly.

And then I got chastised for not assuming a last name like Blackthorne was British. *chuckles*

Anyone else?

Also while I am thinking about it: I want to know who has the biggest plothole in their canon! And here I am talking sustained plotholes, not ones that get resolved in later canon *eyes Bootstrap Bill*.

Here's my nomination: If Ned brings dead things back to life, even the fruit he bakes into his pies, how does he eat?

All nominations will be organized into a later poll and posted in the back room to vote upon. :D!!! Please put NOMINATION in the subject line so I can find it. Maybe I'll even make a prize!

ETA: Since it is rapidly occuring to me that there are some canons with more holes than plots, pick your favorite, and/or the one most likely to go "A SMALL CHILD IN AN EYEPATCH WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT ONE AND TO FIX IT WOULD HAVE COST YOU NOTHING, YOU DORKS."

Does this help at all? *shrug* I dunno. Pick your favorite!

No kidding. *just laughing* I note the PotC one more for really amused interest -- I honestly came to believe that the writers were using a synthesis of piratical history and various other events and were deliberately being fuzzy about time themselves. There are things that in theory could help pin down a year -- signature of A Certain King on documents being one of them, presence of steam engines and redcoats and dress fashion and the like -- but none of them match exactly to each other, much less the overall setting.

For example: Mistress Ching? Probably based on Ching Shih, whose period of reign was approximately 1807-1810.

... I think I will stop. *giggle* Too much detail all melded together, but there's a lot and it's a lot of fun, so we just ran with it.

And now I'm the one running. To work. Bye!

That certain king is George. Except that the UK had a King George for over a century as they went from the first to the fourth.
