/me rushes into the channel and hugs everyone in sight. Yay - I finally got my connection back!
Thanks for all the help in answering my questions - and for the encouragement too.
The Muse insisted I get out of bed at 7am yesterday to jot down her ideas and by the time it got to 9am I had 16 pages written. <g> I think she's keen.
Of course, this being me, I've ended up with several massive plot holes/contradictions in there, so I need to sort them out before the entire thing crashes and burns. Kae - break out that brainstorming channel! <g>
Pam, thanks for reminding me that I need to take note of when this story is set (S1). That's something I
always forget to take into account when looking for this kind of data. And thanks for offering to delve deeper on the weather info - appreciated. But it's just needed for a throwaway line: "X says the weather dropped below freezing last night..." so what's on this thread is ample for the purpose, thanks! I'm bookmarking those links though, thanks - very handy for future reference.
Thanks to everyone for your comedian suggestions. I think from this Jerry Lewis or Bill Murray would fit the bill admirably. Or now I'm thinking of Chevvy Chase, now that you've put the SNL connection into my head.
Thanks again for the help, everyone - you guys are the best!
