So I've been struggling along with my Anachronism entry, after writing the first part, and I just came up with a direction it can go that I probably won't end up hating. And it's historically accurate, so there.
My year/place/event is 1871, London, at the height of Queen Victoria's reign, as she successfully expands her empire, especially in the New World (Canada expanded quite a bit. America was a little pissed off.) and India. I wasn't given a specific date beyond that, though, and I had randomly picked summer, which really wasn't working.
Fun fact: Princess of Wales Alexandra of Denmark prematurely gave birth to Prince Alexander John on April 6, 1871, with the help of an (as far as I can tell) unnamed midwife. He died the next day. Given that I can't find any record of her having problems with conception or pregnancy otherwise (He was the only child she lost), I'm getting the feeling that something happened. Something like Hitler trying to assassinate her Mother-in-Law, perhaps?
So, new plan. Emma falls out of time on April 3rd or 4th, 17 1/4 years before she left, delivers her little brother (angst plus the severe oddity of talking to her 7-year-old self, as well as her finally figuring out what Hitler was talking about, as well as a convenient vehicle to get her near enough to Westminster for the next part of the plot), sees Hitler in the street as he marches with his army on the palace, ends up getting trapped in Marlborough by a cadre of his soldiers, including the disguised Charlie Chaplin, interrupts Hitler's attempts to kill the royal family, delivers the infant prince, ends up doing... something... that gets her into the next portal/time stamp/whatever. Add in a healthy serving of a terrible reenactment of a slum accent and some general hilarity about temporal physics and the silver screen, and that's a better plan than anything else I've come up with so far.
What do people think?

If you've been trying to get ahold of me:
We haven't had internet at home for over a month, though that appears to be fixed now. I'm trying to catch up on things, but we're currently in production and I have midterms, so no promises.
Papercuts, everywhere!
You may have noticed the papercuts. There are four of them now, and a few more in progress, mostly because I'm somewhat bored waiting for classes to start. Currently I've pretty much exclusively been doing Otherworlde characters selected at random (no, seriously, I go through the student folder and pick images I like and/or look simple enough to cut), but I thought I'd mention that I: a. take suggestions (aka requests) and b. mail them off if whoever owns/requested the character wants it. No money involved, just an address. (shipping is something around $0.43, because they are letter sized and letter shaped and very, very light, which even I
Wondering if I should buy pepper spray
...Or just stick with the battery terminal cleaner/super heavy flashlight combo I've got in my backpack right now.
Thinking about it because I just got added from the waitlist for my Linguistics class, which I really need to take unless I want to take yet another year at my current school, but the class gets out at 4, which means I take the bus at 5, after sitting at the bus stop for almost an hour, and get back at 6. Hardly the latest class I've ever had, but Rocklin is not South Sac. At all.
I'm not a conventionally pretty girl to start with, nor do I dress 'sexily' in any way shape or form (my clothes tend towards long sleeves, high coll
*Incoherent snarling*
Mostly past the incoherent capslock rage crossed with terrible language. Mostly.
Firmly in the 'rip his lungs out with my teeth through his eye sockets, open up his ribcage like a cabinet and eat his heart raw then forcefeed him his own testicles and tongue and fingers and then we'll see how well he can communicate with anyone' stage.
Here's what you need to know: girl cousin #14 is 14. She thinks she's the next Juliet. Her 'Romeo' is an 18 year old boy. Girl cousin #14 has a large handful of learning disabilities and brain chemical imbalances. I believe she ranks at the high end of the autism scale. (There is a possibility that this is ano
