Neptune Online Journal: Teachers Edition
So there’s an old-school piece of fanfiction brilliance on LiveJournal called the Neptune Online Journal, A ‘Neptune High Newspaper’ written by fic authors during the show’s run. It’s notable for such gems as the Logan Echolls Advice Column and Duncan’s Poetry Corner; but one great entry was a Neptune High Teachers chatroom discussion, and it works perfectly with this week’s theme. Here’s a teaser:
Turns out the students weren't the only ones abusing using our messenger service. Seems that certain Neptune High Staffers were using it to gossip about us. This was the only conversation we could fully recover and it seems to have taken place after Principal Moorehead got fired but before Ms. Hauser got fired (Neptune High: not dissimilar to Hogwarts in the fifth Harry Potter book).
Clemmons: What a week. Murphy: You can say that again. Clemmons: What a week. Murphy: And the kids don't think your sense of humor is hip. Wu: I heard there was a fight earlier but by the time the grape vine got around to me it was a full on brawl with guns and knives and right now, we're hiding a body in the supply room so that the school board won't find out. Murphy: If only they could channel that kind of imagination into their essays. Clemmons: No, it was just Navarro and Echolls. Again. Hauser: $50 says that neither of them will graduate. Wu: Not taking that action. Murphy: I don't know, Logan just might surprise us. When he actually bothers to show up, his essays show real talent. Hauser: The kid just got re-arrested. And there's a witness this time. He's going to jail. Murphy: $50 says he won't. Hauser: Deal.
