Blindly getting my hopes up that Blaine becomes a Cheerio
September 2011
What if Glee did a "It's a Wonderful Life" episode centered around Kurt's life if he hadn't met Blaine...and he was with Sam.
Then the Klainers get a cute eppy where he realizes just how much better being with Blaine has made his life and the Kummers get an eppy where Kurt is dating Sam. Everybody wins! Sort of.
In order for the concept to work, Blaine would have to have never existed. And also be the main character, as his life is shown to him without him in it.
I feel like this is the opposite of what the OP wants. Yeah, Sam and Kurt would be dating … followed around by a ghostly Blaine. :p
The real question is: who would be the “angel” that shows Blaine his life? (lol Shuester and they both are wearing matching sweater vests)

But I totally agree that for her first book anyway I imagine a lot of her fanbase would be HP fans already familiar with her work. I don’t want to say anything about the Twi-hards or their tastes in books. At least people are reading?
This is very, very true, and I agree whole-heartedly. But it makes me even less likely to pick them up, because I doubt her series has the level of “lolfandom” or passively humorous fandom like Twilight does.

Mark, Mark Reads Mockingjay, Chapter 1
Oh, good, so it wasn’t just me then. :/
Any time I see her books anywhere I wonder how she was ever capable of getting published after that entire thing happened and she disappeared from the internet. They are filmifying CC books? Dear god, help us.
I read a post not too long ago wherein an industrious LJ user compared the first book to her Draco Trillogy, and whole scenes are basically word-for-word the same, just with character names swapped out. Now, I’m not going to say that’s plagiarism (although it would be interesting to see how laws really intersect with copying one’s own works, especially if they’re only published on the internet) but it is disgustingly lazy and pretty arrogant. I mean, in the beginning, weren’t most of her readers Harry Potter fans? Wouldn’t they have … noticed?
I’ve also heard that die-hard Twi-fans tend to be huge fans of these books. I am unsurprised.
unpopular opinion bandwaggon.
Also, where was she when he started dressing like a trucker and making out with Brittany?
How about that time she accused Kurt of cheating on Blaine without talking to Kurt about it? She’s such an awesome friend, amirite?
A+ friendship they’ve got there.
Instead of constantly hatin’ on Rachel for getting SOLOS, she should be wondering why her “best friend” is hanging out with RACHEL all the time.
I’m willing to blame the majority of this on the fact that the writers have a tendency to ignore established characterization for what is plot convenient and/or funny at the time, with exceptions being Grilled Cheesus and The Substitute.
With that being said, however, the entire friendship always felt extremely superficial to me, like they were basically only friends because neither of them had anyone else. He has a lot more in common with Rachel, they’re a lot more likely to actually stay friends after high school, and let’s be honest — Lea can go toe-to-toe with Chris acting-wise a lot better than Amber.
I agree so much with this last comment - Kurt and Mercedes, at the time that they became best friends, were easily the most marginalized members of the Glee club. There used to be a time when they were there for each other unconditionally, but they’ve both grown up and grown apart, which, hey, totally happens. I think the fact that Kurt - according to Quinn in New York - keeps “running off” with Rachel and not Mercedes is very very telling.
“No, no, in my mind “plagiarism” is inextricably linked to “Cassandra Clare” and vice versa. I am incapable of hearing anyone talk about her Mortal Instruments series without recoiling with a feeling of “how could your support someone so blatantly unethical?”, as well. But it’s hard to know how to bring that up, when people seem to really like her books…”

Keri, Fandom Wank Discussion regarding the plagarism of Cynthia Eden’s novel as Twilight fanfiction on FFnet.
So much this. Every time I see the Mortal Instruments series in a bookstore I physically cringe. And you try to explain this reaction and the situation to people who weren’t in the HP fandom at the time, and it’s so complex and ridiculous you just can’t. I sent someone the wank report links once and she just looked up at me and said, “It will take me the rest of my life to read all this.”
Apparently they’re making her books into movies? That’s just … awesome.
3x01 Episode Description
CAN’T WAIT but I’m just going to resign judgement till I’ve seen it.
I’m SO EXCITED for Rebel!Quinn though :) It’s SO IN CHARACTER for her to do that and I love it. A lot.
Blaine however… I want to cuddle him.
REBEL!QUINN FTW. Poor Blainers, although I’m excited about it, not even gonna lie.
If I were writing this show, and wanting to keep some continuity going *insert raucous laughter here*, then it would only make sense that there would be just as much worry over Blaine joining ND as there was over Jesse joining when it came to talent. Beyond the whole spy issue, which I don’t think anyone would believe from Blaine, there’s the fact that he’d be taking solos away from people who feel they don’t get them anyway. Only this time, Kurt’s fine with it because it’s his boyfriend… at least until the first time Blaine gets offered a solo Kurt feels he should have had.
Then the fur can fly. Which I am honestly looking forward to because then they can have a diva-off, and we all know when Blaine wants to be a diva, he can. Hilarity ensues.
You know, if I were writing it.
The Evil Boyfriends Alliance.
“Hey, Kurt?”
“Hmm?” Kurt drops off his Econ book into his locker and reaches for his hairspray.
“Does Blaine ever make you feel like…” Tina’s voice falters.
“The worst significant other on the face of this planet?” Kurt asks, after seeing her expression. He nods. “Yes. Frequently. It’s infuriating.” He’s a little taken back when Tina throws herself at him and nearly weeps with joy.
“Oh, thank god. I thought I was the only one!”
Kurt gingerly pats her on the back with his free hand. He’s careful with his L’Oreal Paris Elnett - not just because he doesn’t want to accidentally spray it in Tina’s eyes (he learns from Finn’s mistakes; his step-brother had wondered if it was anything like pepper spray, and yes it hurts just as much) but also because it’s expensive. He’s still saving up for a Alexander Wang bomber jacket.
“Kurt!”
“Tina!”
Their boyfriends wave at them from down the hall: all wind-swept hair, hipster plaid, and wide grins.
Blaine reaches them first. He grins and presents Kurt with a grande nonfat mocha, “Mike and I went to Lima Bean during our free period. Here, I got this for you.”
“I asked the barista to add an extra shot of espresso in yours,” Mike tells Tina, handing over her iced dirty chai. “Blaine and I were talking about changing up the choreography for our next number…”
Kurt gives Tina look while as they follow their boyfriends to the choir room. “Like I said, he does it all the time.”
THIS IS WHY STACY IS MY FAVORITE *_______________*
so many heart eyes at this
