Another "look, my obsession!" TV moment.

[amanuensis1]

Okay, in July 1999, the British edition of Prisoner of Azkaban was published. The American version followed October 1999.

In October 1999, the first episode of the second season of the American sitcom Sports Night mentions--multiple times--a Chinese swimming athlete named Cho Chang. (See the things you notice if you pay attention? I love being a geek.)

Whaddya think--Aaron Sorkin a Harry Potter fan, all that way back?

If he is, I'd say he should share his good cocaine with JK. >:D

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

NO! The woman is a MOTHER; no drugs!

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

But Aiiiimsterrr! Good Aaron Sorkin Cocaine = First 4 seasons of The West Wing!

There are better states of altered consciousness for creativity! Ones that don't involve rehab. Can you imagine the headlines for "Harry Potter Author in Rehab"? Eeew.

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. But still! Think of the way the books would look had she done drugs. xD

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Mmm...Harry on his knees in Snape's office...

I'm thinking more in the lines of penetration with illegal substances, or even the pipes used for them. Or maybe it's just all the hentai I've seen lately. It poissssonssss the brraaaaaaiin.

I wonder if there was a staff writer who was British?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Or it could have been one of those things that get into the subconscious. "I need a Chinese female name...Cho...Chang. Where've I head that? Never mind, it'll do."

[idlerat.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm thinking- and of course what "rings true" is a made up assonant name, not an actual Chinese name. Tis the way of representation.

But Cho is an athelete!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yes, she is! Er, or did you mean that "Cho" translates to "athlete"? I don't speak Chinese beyond "Thank you."

[idlerat.livejournal.com]

No, no, just talking about "our" Cho, and it fitting. ;)

See! My HP/SN "Jeremy is a Squib, Dan sleeps with Remus" crossover could happen! *g*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Okay, point me, point me! I wanna see!

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't write it, I just tried to get other people to write it for me. *g*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, pooh. Oh well!

[issyadore.livejournal.com]

Ahh I don't remember that but that's funny. Guess I should buy the series on dvd one of these days.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I'm experiencing it for the first time! It's so much fun.

[caorann.livejournal.com]

Yes! I love that series. I like 1st season over 2nd season, but that's because I find Dan owies too painful. But it was great TV. ::sigh:: Why is it that shows like this get cancelled? SN, Dead Like Me, Firefly...the list is endless. And yet Stacked will probably be with us for years.

[lyttlelucyfer.livejournal.com]

Thats actually quite eerie. I say we should scour American TV shows and see if we can find any other parallels. It'd be fun, if only as an excuse to watch a great deal of TV.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Erg. Be selective about that TV! Some real garbage out there.

When I look at this story, I'm obsessed with seeing its flaws. And yet I'm still so fond of it. My one big fat "write consensual sexy H/L" attempt. And you like! Squeeeeee!!!
