bronze_ribbonsBack when the Dark Is Rising movie trailers premiered (which was, what, three weeks ago? Eons in Internet time...), I'd suggested that the proper way to cope would be to convert the mess into a drinking game: boycott the theatre release, Netflix the DVD, and invite some sister geeks over to raise our glasses anytime a canonical moment peeped out. I believe InnerSlytherin protested that no one would end up with a buzz.
I'm usually a glass-half-full gal, but I just stumbled across this while hunting down something else:

Someone do a Merriman memory-wipe on me, please? Now? Sweet Merlin on a pike.
Speaking of strategies, I've finally conceded that I need to scrap "Etude" and stitch what's salvageable from it into an original story instead. The characters barely resembled their canonical inspirations to begin with, and the darn thing never did want to stay in the Potterverse - or in Italy, for that matter. There's still going to be myrrh, and smoke, and a Elizabethan lament or three, but now I need to figure out who's actually tied to the posts of that bed.
