« on: February 08, 2017, 02:40:28 AM »Hey Priscellie, Jim gave us a ballpark figure for when Eb took up the blackstaff that conflicts with this. Someone quoted ya on reddit and I was like, "Wait a minute..." and had to go digging.
Jim tends to be more prone to mistakes when he's speaking off the cuff (and y'know, not being betaed
), but who knows? I'll run it by him.

Weird. I'll get his assistant to poke them.

Ah, thanks! Yep, it's set after Skin Game. Likely mid-May, given that the judge's comment that her granddaughter is graduating high school in three weeks. Will add!

« on: December 25, 2016, 04:41:44 AM »How does one go about attending his April 27th event? Would I need to register or pay at some website? Is it a private event? Very interested in attending, as it is close to me.
It's a private event, but as I said above, Jim is currently working on finalizing a signing in the area for the public.

I'm comfortable calling this a goof on Jim's part that wasn't caught by the betas.

« on: October 30, 2016, 01:10:09 PM »I can't find proof, but I am fairly certain that Knight Rider did rerun after it ended. Reminds me of how I remember being a big fan of the original Star Trek, even though I was only about 4 or 5 when it ended. I used to watch it on reruns in the early 70's.
It definitely reran in '87 and '88--I found quotes from people online who recall watching reruns those years--but I jut don't know the day of the week they were on. Harry specifically says he watched them on Friday.

They do, but Butters hadn't had any opportunity to see Harry's arms at that point.

And ack! I realized my statement "works with Knight Rider timeline" is no longer accurate. I made note of that in the timeline before Ghost Story was written, and in Ghost Story Harry states that he was 13 when the show was on. I didn't notice when I was betaing that in order for that detail to fit, Harry would've had to have been born between 1968 and 1973, which directly contradict the David Copperfield stage name timeline.
An easy retcon/explanation could be that Harry was watching Knight Rider reruns, but I'm not sure if the show did reruns on Fridays in 1987-1988.

- CON: Butters assures Harry that he's vaccinated against smallpox, but routine vaccination of the American public stopped in 1972 after the disease was eradicated in the United States.
Someone (or even I) may have already said this, but I was born in 1974, in the United States, and I had the smallpox vaccination (and I have the scar to prove it).
I'm not suggesting that people born after 1972 couldn't have been vaccinated, but at a time when Butters barely knows Harry, he states "You're vaccinated" with zero hesitation whatsoever. It's Butters' certainty that causes me to pause over that detail. Unless Butters assumes Harry is a few years older than he really is (maybe the same age as Murphy?), I'm considering it a conflict.
