meme snagged from snickfic

List all the tabs you have open now, for Science.
*this "Post an Entry" tab
*another "Post an Entry" tab for a post I was gonna do on dramatic irony. I really wanted to squee about how much I love dramatic irony, bitch about its misuse, and inspire a big thick discussion on dramatic irony and fanfic. Half-way through writing the post I realized it probably sounded pedantic or too academic, and then I realized that people probably wouldn't read it. Or if they did they'd never tell me.
*Go Your Own Way was a Batman fic that was gonna be an example of the unique opportunity fanfic presents for dramatic irony
*the Wikipedia entry for "dramatic irony" so I could quickly define it for anyone who might've forgotten what it was. This was so the post would be friendly and welcoming and then I realized it made it sound even more pedantic and stilted
*Google image search for "Bruce Banner Tony Stark". Sometimes I just like seeing them together?
*Google image search for "Steve Rogers". This is because I find Steve!voice very hard to write. To get the cadence and tone right, sometimes I look at actors' faces.
*tumblr "Mark Ruffalo" tag. See above.
*an article in the LA Times about who won the 2013 Grammy's. This is for an Avengers fic I'm writing, though I'm not sure I'll use the info.
*Google map of Africa. Specifically, Lesotho.
*google search for "deleted mail gmail", because both the trash and the spam folders are really difficult for me to find in gmail. This search wasn't helpful though; it was all about recovering mail you had permanently deleted
*this Three Sentence Ficathon, in which I encourage you all to leave and fill prompts
*google search for "if you bring a horse to water" because I forgot the actual idiom. It was for a three-sentence River/Mal fic, but I ended up not being able to use it. Three sentences is hard!
*the Battlestar Galactica entry for Gaius Baltar, for the three sentence Gaius/Six fic I wrote. I remember he came from a poor, backwater place, but I couldn't remember the exact details.
*panlexicon.com, which is my number one thesaurus
*my Dreamwidth reading list
*a Teen Wolf Stiles/Derek fic on Ao3

for gmail, my trash and spam folders are clearly labeled on the left side of the page when I'm on my old computer, maybe because it's on "Basic html version" due to the creaky old age of my browser - but if not, I think that there is a line labeled "other" above where it shows you who else is online available for chat, and if you click on Other you'll find the trash/spam folders.

An excellent list! I would have read your post on dramatic irony (although yes, possibly I wouldn't have told you - it sounds like the sort of post that I would need to go think about for weeks before I had any response).

If you want your spam and trash permanently easy to find, first got to settings select the "label" tab. Where it says "Show in Label List," select "Show" for the Spam and Trash rows. And voila! (You can also hide/show any other labels you've created, the same way. You can also do it from the main page by clicking the little arrow-in-rectangle to the right of the label name in the left hand frame, and selecting the appropriate option.)

ugh thank you SO MUCH. This helps a lot. I've found gmail extremely frustrating ever since they changed the interface.

You are most welcome! :)

big thick discussion on dramatic irony and fanfic

Please please please please do this.

It has a very different role in fic, where the reader is already familiar with canon, than with most other kinds of stories, and that would be fascinating to explore.
