The life of journals; the width of dreams

So, now that I have someone following me on dreamwidth who isn't already following me on livejournal, it's time I set up cross-posting. (Also time to add a couple of people on dw whom I would have added a while back if I could have been arsed to do anything with my dw.)

If you are now following me on lj and would like to follow me on dw instead/in addition, now is the time for that too, I guess. If you're so inclined. I will probably keep following you all on lj for preference for now though.

In other dreamwidth-related news, there is now a community for all your Darkangel-trilogy-related needs: wheretheicarusnowroams

Well, for all my Darkangel-trilogy-related needs anyway? Hey, we're going to be starting a reread soon, this is the perfect chance to read the Darkangel trilogy!

Staying on in Series Twelve when one is native to a different Series

Staying on in Series Twelve when one is native to a different Series (or not-Series in the case of Eleven): A tedious bit of fanwankery by Minutia_R

Over on tumblr, inerasabledreams asked: "I'm a little confused, in "Conrad's Fate," Gabriel de Witt said that is not possible for a person living in another series, but Millie (Series 10) lives with Christopher in Series 12 ... Someone could explain?"

I'm glad you asked, inerasabledreams! (You asked the fuckyeahchrestomanci blog and not me, but that was an understandable oversight.) This is indeed one of the most vexed questions in Chrestomanci canon, and it's complicated by the fact that Mordecai Roberts, aka Tacroy, also spends most of his life in Series Twelve while being a native of Eleven (Not a Series).

I should start this off with a disclaimer that the question was never resolved in the books, and now never will be; I have reasons to prefer my own theory and will elucidate them below, but ultimately it's just a theory and no more canon than any other.
