JosephineParticipant
We’re on page 1977. The year of my birth.
Oh, I still don’t know if I’m going tomorrow to see my fellow SFers. There has been no form of precipitation for a week. Tomorrow we’re supposed to get freezing rain then rain all day with snow possible this weekend. WHYYYYY. I hate driving in rain as much as snow. I keep watching the forcast hoping it’s going to change. Argh. I hate this!

JosephineParticipantLol, Ranisha You are creating and casting a new movie with everyone on Once 🙂
So….we have to have Lee (Leroy) Â in there because I’ve come to just adore him. Â And Meghan Ory and Granny. Â Add Jared in there, too. Â You can however leave a few off….or just make them corpses found rotting in the river. <del>#FatRiverRiceDeath</del>

JosephineParticipantI wrote something brilliant about Bobby’s potential departure and then lost it.  In essence it was Bobby leaves the show ends.  😉
Phee, I think his contract was commented in Variety when Once was filming and casting the Pilot a few years ago. Â Some mention of five year signing. Â I had the source and if I can find it again I’ll link it.

JosephineParticipantI don’t really have much hope left for the show, but there’s still that super annoying little voice in my head insisting that there’s a way they can fix it. Super annoying little voice can be really super annoying.
A number of us have this super annoying little voice, hence my little decent into madness today. Â It’s hard to extinguish it completely in your heart but your head is telling you that it’s over. Â Just give up the ghost. Â Accept what has happened and realize it’s never going to be good again.
We are all wacked out. 😛  But at least we’re all insane together.

JosephineParticipantKP, those stitch markers are adorable.  And your mom and I are on about the same skill level with crochet 😉  Hope she’s doing better.
RG,  great gloves.  Love the coat, too.  We will need to see Bella IN her coat when all is done.  😛  This is a must.
So I started my cardigan and I got an inch done and think I’m going to tear it out. Â The ribbing is just driving me nuts. Â It’s a twisted ribbing but it’s only every other row and the lack of consistency every row is bothering me. Â I’m doing it exactly how the pattern is written, the problem is I don’t like how that part of the pattern is written. Â So I’m going to swatch a few different ribbing styles and pick one and restart. Â If I keep going in pattern I’m just not going to enjoy this cardigan. Â So I shall do some experiments and then settle on something I like.

JosephineParticipantBuilding on the trust issue I mentioned between storytellers and their audience this article caught my eye when I was trying to find sources to illustrate what I mean by this bond between reader/viewers and the people crafting stories.
Trust me (7 Ways Authors Violate Their Reader’s Trust)
I thought it was an interesting post and caught myself nodding my head with each one of them on the list. Critique the showrunners and writers by this set of criteria and suddenly there is no shock why the ratings have fallen so much in less than four seasons.

JosephineParticipantWow, look what I started this morning!  Look at us…talking about SwanFire in the SwanFire thread.  😉
Okay, here are my thoughts….
If this were any other show and any other showrunners I’d truly believe in the end that Neal is coming back and is Emma’s true love and our little SwanFire family will live happily ever after eating NYC pizza and sipping hot cocoa in their own little castle between Rumbelle’s and Snowing’s.
But this is the trolls. Â They have a skewed vision of romance and relationships and have passed that on to their writers *I’m looking at you, Jane*. Â It seems whatever I like about the show they tear it apart, stomp on it, and rub it into the dirt….then toss it across the town line. Â I have no trust in their story anymore. Â And I think more and more GA are that way too. Â You lose trust and it’s hard to bring those viewers back. Â As we’ve witnessed here.
As for this weekend, I’m still undecided. Â I just might end up calling you Saturday with a “SUPRISE, I’M HERE!” Â I have to look at the weather and decide it my car can make the journey. Â I really want to be there. Â I don’t want to miss out on any fun with the Canadaland invasion. Â If I do come I’d probably drive in early Saturday morning and spend the day and maybe night. Â Aggg, why can’t it be summertime. Â I wouldn’t waffle at all.

JosephineParticipantDSB, as I was typing it out I didn’t want your infernal optimism to poison me but it was in the back of my mind. Little “what if’s” for the future. *sigh* I shall try to beat them back into submission where they belong. Â And it’s true, you can’t have them kiss in any way because it would prove/disprove everything. Â And maybe they do want to keep things open in the future….
Oh, no, RG!  I need your pessimism. STAT.  No hope!  It will never happen!  Something, please.  I can’t let a speck of light into my SF shipping. 😉
