I've started working on my novel again, the one I was going to start for NaNo; I've been reading a lot about parallel universes, string and M theory, as this features in the story and discovered a nice little Shrodinger theory called 'Entanglement' which I love so much; which fits the plot of my book so neatly I might actually call the thing 'Entanglement'. It's the current working title, anyway. This description is really nice:

'Entanglement is the idea that in the quantum world, objects are not independent if they have interacted with each other or come into being through the same process. They become linked, or entangled, such that changing one invariably affects the other, no matter how far apart they are - something Einstein called "spukhafte Fernwirkungen": "spooky action at a distance".

- The italics are mine, but those two bits totally describe what's happening in the story, both on the spiritual ghosts/spirits/angels/past-lives and parallel universe level, and at the more mundane level of the human relationships - especially the fic-like human relationships. (o:

So, the novel is starting to come together and I think I might start trying to tie everything into a coherent plot tomorrow, maybe, even, start writing it at the weekend...?

I haven't forgotten the fic; I've been so busy with the big fat bag of shitty stuff life has thrown at me lately, plus the long weekend of fangirl squee I'm still getting over. I have the last three chapters of Rainbows Part 2 sketched out and all being well, I'm hoping to get that story finished next week; once that's finished, I can get back to the Academy story and make a start on the third and final part of Rainbows.

Anyway, this is just me, catching up.

And I was going to ask a fic-related question here, but I think I'll put that in a new post...

And the fangirl pic-spam; that ought to have its own space too...

(This is not a comment requiring an answer! -- but I just *can't* see the phrase spooky action at a distance and its definition and not just swoon dreamily. And that it fits your novel is beyond cool. Go, you! -- And yay, more Rainbows, and Academy!)

It's finding the time at the moment. I seem to be busy and/or mithered (do you say mithered over there? It's a northern thing; means continuously bugged and bothered by something or someone) *all* the time.

But yeah - spooky action at a distance. Einstein rules, does he not? *g* The whole concept of the novel I was going to write has altered in the face of all the physics I've been reading. It's still a mix of the domestic and the mystical, but with this extra edge of an *explanation*, no matter how un-scientific and half-understood, which I like.

And I love the idea of two bodies becoming 'entangled' - 'such that changing one invariably affects the other no matter how far apart they are'... Isn't that just every J/B fic you ever read? (o:

I need an icon for my project - But nothing as disturbing as that one of yours. Just looking at it is doing strange and, I suspect, unalterable things to my giblets.

No, we're not 'mither'ed in this part of the world. (Well, we *are*, but we don't have such a pleasing word to call it; 'hassled' doesn't sound nearly as interesting. I'm glad you explained it -- I would have had to ask, otherwise. :-))

The entangled thing -- oh, yeah! That's such a fascinating concept. Isn't that just every J/B fic you ever read? -- heh, absolutely. Which is just as it should be. Jim and Blair Do Quantum Physics...

(I'm rather fond of this 'Jim Eats...' icon myself. Imagination can be such a useful thing to have. :-))

Oh, I *like* the icon, it just does odd things to me. Gets my mind moving in all sorts of interesting directions.

A shame you can't be mithered (o: - I've heard a few expressions from the North of England in the Southern USA and wondered. It's very northern, you don't hear it south of the Mersey; it pleases me no end when the Gallagher brothers say it. *g*
