wasting time when I should be working

[vaznetti]

So I am at work, and marking exams, as happens at this time of year. Remind me of why I want to know whether my students are actually learning anything, again? And I know that I still have a couple snippets to go from the last meme (working on them!), but I require short-term distraction at the moment.

Ask me about any character whom I have written, and I will tell you three pieces of personal fanon about them. It is fanon, rather than "personal canon," isn't it? You can try characters I haven't written, but I can't guarantee that I'll have the same kind of knowledge about them.

Marita C. (because I don't know her very well).

Well, with Marita it's all fanon, since we know so little about her. But let's see.

My Marita is a good long-term thinker, but once she's made a plan she doesn't improvise well; in this she is the complete opposite of Krycek, who is a magnificent improviser, but who can't make a plan that isn't guaranteed to blow up in his face.

She loved him, but never trusted him. At least, that's what she tells herself; it isn't quite the truth.

She had a very sheltered upbringing; her parents were involved in the Consortium. They're dead.

I've just realized that I've written at least one story in which the first of these isn't the case. Oh well.
