Ladies and Gentlemen, why you should never try to write Jack Harkness/James Sunderland, no matter how much the idea pesters you.
( The Woes of a Writer: When Characters Go Bad. )
Also, a brief anecdote:
Riona: Hey, Fred, what're you doing?
Fred (Riona's eleven-year-old brother): Playing Runescape.
Riona: (shocked) Hey! Hey, you can't type that!
Fred: Why not?
Riona: You can't put an apostrophe in a possessive pronoun! 'You're' always means 'you are' - you mean 'your'.
Fred: Ah, okay. Thanks.
Riona: (walking away with the sense of A Job Well Done) Thank Hyne I caught that. He'd have looked really stupid if he'd said 'I want to have you're babies'.
*pause*
Riona: ...wait a second...
