Things that irk me: in the writing class, we're supposed to have a max of seven submissions each week. And you're supposed to wait a week after your last submission before doing your next. So when I get to class and see nine submissions on the board, four of whom submitted last week (all longtime students who should know better), and Maralys carelessly tells me to add my submission onto the list too? Well, I'm a bit ticked off at Maralys for not enforcing her own rules, and MORE than a bit dubious about her word that she'll bump my submission (I have not submitted at all yet this term) ahead of everyone who did double-submissions. Trust me, by next week she'll have forgotten ALL about that little pie-crust promise....
Things that do not irk me: finding the RotG screenplay available for download. Gleaning nifty bits like Jamie is supposed to be 8 (the artbook flat-out says 10, which is what I've been, and shall continue, going with). Sophie is indeed supposed to be 2! I guessed right. But Jack's unnamed sister was supposed to be 4. Um, no. She does not look or act 4. I'll stick with my habit of making her 10, same as Jamie. It makes the Jamie/Sophie Jack/Jack's sister age difference the same, which symmetry pleases my feral fanficcer hindbrain. OTOH, apparently the Thaddeus Burgess statue was supposed to have the correct 1680s date on it for Burgess' founding, not the 1780s one which contradicts the "300 years later" text in the film....
