I strongly approve of this....so, is Dragon getting a time-traveling badass Godmother? Instead of the abusive uncle she got in canon?
Pretty Please?

"We're here today to witness perhaps the strangest Leviathan attack ever. Leviathan came ashore at Pismo Beach two days ago, and has been travelling inland, trailing a tsunami behind him, heading for the centre of the country. Residents are fleeing towns in his path, while others are coming to gawk at the incredible sight. ....I hope she's just here to convince him to move to Montana. Anything else could get ... kinda dicey.
I'm more impressed by Hyderabad. The only water source connecting it to the ocean, over 200 km away, (the Musi River) is dry for a good part of the year, and is dammed downstream of the city.Now, now, Levi could hit Montana. it wouldn't be that much stranger than Madrid
Hah! Clever. Yes, Stallone was the original choice for Terminator.
I stand corrected. "Stallone was one of the persons offered the role after the initial refusal."Correction. Stallone was offered the role of the Terminator, but Lance Henrikson was who Cameron originally envisioned for the role.
Actually, Henrikson was never optioned for the role. He was the one who helped sell it to the producers, by putting on some makeup (including gold foil on his teeth) and being scary.Correction. Stallone was offered the role of the Terminator, but Lance Henrikson was who Cameron originally envisioned for the role.
Nope.So... Ack, just out of curiosity...
...do you have a background working in education? Because as an education professional...you're really spot on with some of the shit that goes on behind the scenes.
Granted, I've never seen an actual 'fight' break out between two teachers, but I know it's happened from second-hand info.
This reaction comforts me. I confess I was doubtful about those scenes.So... Ack, just out of curiosity...

Yeah, the only thing that's not-quite 100% correct with Ack's American school system (in other fics) is that the current bullying guidelines (in my state, which is not where Worm takes place, granted) would not take Taylor's journals as evidence enough to punish anyone *inside the school system.*This reaction comforts me.

I doubt that Emma would have tried that level of bullying at a school with that level of oversight.Yeah, the only thing that's not-quite 100% correct with Ack's American school system (in other fics) is that the current bullying guidelines (in my state, which is not where Worm takes place, granted) would not take Taylor's journals as evidence enough to punish anyone *inside the school system.*
I'll say that they make great media-leverage, but probably wouldn't be permissible even in a court of law, but there is actually a special 'Bullying Incident Form' we have had for the past few years that needs to be signed and counter-signed by teacher witnesses and a vice principal. That goes on file both at the school and a central office for the local school board, and if three of them are accumulated relating to the same person(s), that's more than enough to start an investigation. I forget the exact limit, but after...10(?) are filed and nothing is done? That's usually the point where someone gets fired because red flags start going off in the *state* system. That's how it works in theory, at least.
Granted, this is *after* the large number of bullying/cyber-bullying cases we've had recently and the Worm-verse is sufficiently divergent that things are likely very different. I'll also repeat that I'm in a different state than the plot, so there's more than enough leeway for a good writer to justify most of what they do with Taylor's journals. Ack is definitely a good writer.
...strangely enough, although Taylor's evidence probably wouldn't stand up in a criminal case, she would *almost certainly* win a civil suit case for a fairly hefty financial settlement, but...well, that's the American Legal System for you.
Edit: I also enjoy the current principal of Winslow, btw. He's so much a 'Good ole Boy,' that I find myself remembering a few administrative staff I've worked with over the years. Most of them are retiring now (or have long-since), but there's still a few.
I doubt that Emma would have tried that level of bullying at a school with that level of oversight.
"Miss Barnes, we start an investigation when three of these sheets come up with the same name on them. You had three in the first day. Care to explain?"
Emma: "Popular girl blah blah blah father's a lawyer blah blah blah best friend's a Ward blah blah blah."
" ... waiting for the actual explanation."
A school with this level of oversight would, one hopes, also have staff who actually know how to do their job.From what I know of canon, that wouldn't have done anything. Specifically because of this: "signed and counter-signed by teacher witnesses and a vice principal"
Yeah, but as I said, this is how the system works 'in theory.'A school with this level of oversight would, one hopes, also have staff who actually know how to do their job.
Someone.
Number man. Single combat.
She's not beating him, even with bullshit knowledge. I think she'll go after King next.
That'll be an easy fight. He's already dead.She's not beating him, even with bullshit knowledge. I think she'll go after King next.
