What's the point of a revolution without general copulation?

I have never watched The Sentinel, but I know the basic premise. I've read a lot of Sentinel fusions with other fandoms (i.e., Steve is a Sentinel and Danny is his Guide! Sherlock Holmes is a Sentinel and Watson is his Guide! Derek Hale is a Sentinel and Stiles is his Guide! John Reese is a Sentinel and Finch is his Guide! Erik Lehnsherr is a Sentinel and Charles Xavier is his Guide! etc).

(not for nothing, but you could do a whole massive meta on fannish slash archetypes just by categorizing characters as Sentinels and Guides. But I digress.)

One thing that seems to be very common in these fusion stories is that the universe knows of, and accepts, the existence of Sentinels, and there's some sort of "Center" where Sentinels are treated for Sentinel-specific mental conditions, hooked up with Guides, etc.

But I'd always thought that in the actual Sentinel series, the existence of Sentinels was not generally known.

So, is this all fanon? The idea of Sentinels as generally known, Centers to treat them, and so on? Because if so, it's remarkably consistent across fandom fusions.

When you're writing canon-compliant XMFC, and you say that Erik is unique because "most people" refuse to let Charles freely enter their minds ... umm, who do you imagine all these people are?

I got notification that a particular author I'm tracking posted a new work. The email told me the name of the poster, the title, and the summary, but listed the author as "Anonymous." When I went to click, I was told it was part of the X-Men Secret Mutant Exchange 'fest and was not yet public.

Oops.

Well, at least I can look forward to that story!

I have a Tumblr. Where I very, very occasionally reblog things that I don't post here. Usually because I want to comment on something that someone else reblogged and I haven't figured out any other way to do it. Which often pertains to X-Men or Teen Wolf.

Do with that knowledge what you will.

AfterElton is having a slash couples tournament vote thing? It's in response to the Great EW Sterek controversy. Anyhoo, at AfterElton you can vote on (cherik) ... well, pretty much everyone right now (cherik) - though no S&H, sadly (cherik) - and then the winners (cherik) will face off in subsequent rounds. And AfterEllen is taking nominations for a femmeslash version.

Because I have very strong and very specific feelings on the subject of breakfast, I woke up at 5:15 this morning so that I could shower and get to the Starbucks - which is like a 10 minute walk from the hotel - by the time it opened at 6:00 am, with my Supernatural travel mug in tow.

I am now back in my room, with coffee and blueberry scone, and plenty of time to decompress before things begin again.

Wow. That was a great (exhausting) day.

I'm probably the only person who wasn't reading this as it was being posted, but there's this just-finished massive crossover/fusion between the X-Men movieverse, Highlander, the Avengers, and other Marvel-ish characters. It's terrifically fun and everything blends together incredibly well.
