twincityhackerAnyone remember the time that I found a description in two diffrent fanfics that had a insignificant detail as the same thing and the detail was cannon? Or that time when I thought I saw the same setence in two diffrent fanfics in two diffrent fandoms but it turned out to be very similar sentences?
Does anyone remember what I was trying to prove? Because I think I may have found a similar thing in two diffrent published books.
Okay, during the unending road trip, I brought along Neuromancer, by William Gibson. I think one of the first sentences in the book is describes how the sky was the color of a television set to a dead channel.
And the other day, I was reading Neverwhere, By Neil Gaimen. In this book the line is "The sky was the the perfect untroubled blue as a television screen, set to a dead channel."
Wacky, huh? But do to the decade or more gap between the two books, I'm thinking that Gaimen might had read Neuromancer, thus picking up the description. So it probably doesn't count towards what ever I was trying to prove... I think it was a collective creative eather? A global sub-concious? How that life is a huge, poorly cast B-Movie?
The last one really doesn't make too much sense, but have you ever gone down the street and over hear a stranger that sounds just like your cousin? Or real look-alikes? Just proves that the Creator had to cast the same people in diffrent roles.
Okay, so maybe the last is just my parniod fantasy. But maybe the previous two? I wish I could rememember...
