The Doorway: a panfandom game

I would just like to make this little announcement that I will be attending NYU in the Fall! I'm going to be in their English Education program.

Don't worry though, I still plan on training. I don't plan on hanging up my cape anytime soon, metaphorically speaking, obviously.

I wish my family

Put up or shut up.

Do you want to talk about your dad?

Someone in Kiev hacked the metro system and put Moriarty on all of the screens. Not my Moriarty, but ... I can't really fault their taste.

Who: The whole game!
When: Leading up to Christmas
Where: Under tree. Delivered with bows. Handed to a person. Whatever!
What: Christmas presents!
Rating: Who knows!

Because this game is massive, and even if every character just sent ONE package to anyone, it would end up being so many posts that it would overrun the game. So to save our friends lists from imploding, we the moderators are asking that you fill out this form and reply HERE. It'll make it easier to find (Control-F is a lovely thing!) and we won't have to abuse our scroll button. Here's how we're going to do it. You will post for one character with everything that they got for their friends/family/etc. Make sure to tag your character and all the characters that yours gave gifts to as soon as you get their information up! In recognition of the time it can take to determine IC gifts, (properly tagged) gifts can count as a piece of activity for the gifting character for the month of December. <b>Character name:</b> Name! <b>GIFTS:</b> • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present.

Who: Secret Santa Participants
When: Leading up to Christmas.
Where: In and around. Mostly left at doors.
What: Christmas presents from Secret Santas.
Rating: Who knows!

So...

Is this a normal campaign strategy?

Do you think our past changes when they write new things into the works we're part of? That the tesseract can sort of update backwards?

I'm not sure if there's really any way to tell. Short of checking everything I've ever said for continuity.

I wonder, sometimes, when the show introduces parts of my life that I haven't thought about in years. If the reason I haven't thought about it is because it never came up, or because that information just wasn't in my head. If there are things about my life and my past that I genuinely didn't know before they were revealed on the air, or that I remember differently now than I did before. I know I'm not the same person I was when I arrived here. But I don't know how much of that is personal growth.

I guess that would be the distinction between a show that's a story about my life, and my life being story. Do they exist independently? And if not, which one determines the other?

There was a panel featuring Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller at NYCC today. For obvious reasons, I did not attend. But I did read a list of the proposed directions this season could possibly take, and get to listen to an actor talk about bringing my relationship with my father to the screen.

I can't not know. I can't not know what's going to happen. Or what has happened. It's the curse of being a detective, I suspect.

I have a rather odd question for you.

I know this may very well shock some of you, but I am an enthusiast when it comes to crime documentaries regarding unsolved or much disputed cases. Just last night, I spend a good hour researched the position presented in this documentary about a possible Jack the Ripper suspect.

That's always been a relatively sensational case in it's own right, hasn't it? But I've always thought the solution to be one much simpler than the Royal family conspiracies that certain "fans" of the crime like to prattle on about.

Has anyone else, here, every been particularly interested in that case? Or is it strictly the sort of thing only Londoners even remember?

There are bowls of cream set by all the windows. Please do not disturb them.

I have a dispute to settle with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Alarming Consequence to Having a Man Bun Every Guy Should Know About.

Maybe now, this trend can finally die a quiet death.

Although I've never really objected to the hair style, so much as calling it a "man bun." How fragile is your masculinity that you have to stick "man" in front of everything you do even though it's exactly the same?

I just googled myself and I kinda really wished I hadn't. Some people really hate me and apparently I die in a horrible way? I mean it figures, but still. Sucks.

How's Sam doing after the surgery?

The Tesseract's activity seems to be more along the lines of normal now. Or as normal as it ever is. I wish I had an explanation for why it brought so many here over the course of a few days but so far I can't come up with anything.

If one more person asks me about working with Quentin Tarantino, I will collect your fucking head.

TEXT MESSAGES TO SHERLOCK HOLMES:

-- I just watched the show
-- Where are you?
-- Don't make me call Iron Man and get him to track your phone GPS. You know how I feel about grown men who wear Captain America PJs.

Can I go to Atlantic City with Saul Goodman?

[Later: Moriarty]

....Would you like to go to Atlantic City with myself and Saul Goodman

[Finally: Tony Stark (616)]

Can I borrow $50,000 to go to Atlantic City with Saul Goodman and Moriarty?

[Joan Watson]

I can't tell by this Gift Set if we would be good aquaitances, or better enemies. What do you deduce, Detective?

If I get you to listen to the Serial Podcast with me, are you going to spend the whole time telling me about how much better you are at your job than the Baltimore Police Department?

Did you have anything in particular in mind for Christmas?

I have a problem. Someone got a live turkey instead of just buying one at the store like most people from this century do.

Does anyone know how to pluck a turkey?
