It's come to this: I have to grade exams. So, distract me. Ask me something, or guess my Yuletide stories (fairly characteristic, I'd say). Or tell me something I should know. Anything!
My destroyed illusions about law students can be summed up in the following statement from a new law professor after grading his first exams: "Now I understand why I did so well in law school."
But hey, I'm not throwing them down a flight of stairs! I'm reading them carefully! That's what's so difficult!
Good question. I don't have much inspiring me right now, though I do have an idea for Sam & Dean playing extreme trust games that's kicking at the edges of my consciousness. I will probably go back to fic once I get this semester's syllabus into shape and finish a couple of work drafts.
I guess I'd really need some particular event that I'd like to do several different interpretations of to really get into the Gospels. Actually it would be cool if, as in Matthew, Mark, Luke & John there were multiple records with different versions--like the conflicting stories about when John got the Impala.
My theory is, since Luke was apparently the same thing for Jesus (et al, since Acts is by the same author, I think) that Chuck is for Sam and Dean, and since--gah, can't remember how that authorship theory went--aw crap, Wiki says the Luke author cribbed from Mark, but I'm gonna say that's not the case in SPNland because I like my theory, which is that the only reason for anybody who didn't have a part in the story to believe that the Carver Edlund accounts are the definitive biography of the Winchesters is that one of the Carver Edlund accounts says so, which is to say, logic fail. (Can't even use copyright dates, because he barely gets enough lead time between a vision and the event to write down the vision, so none of the books would be published until months after the events.) And if Chuck's gonna get that sort of circulation, it's got to be because other people are interested in the Winchesters, so there's going to be other biographies of the Winchesters and of peripheral characters in the Winchesters' lives. Fast-forward however many years and Winchesterism will have a lovely big library of holy texts, and most people won't know that the ones Carver Edlund wrote have pride of place, the same way most people in today's SPNland don't know that Luke is authoritative in a way that Matthew and Mark aren't. (Not touching John because I can't remember whether that's the same John as Revelation and we already know John the Revelator was a prophet.)

My coherence sucks, doesn't it.
