The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere | comment |
An attempt at trying to create a Back Story for open-source character Jenny Everywhere, which started to be written by The Lyniezian and is still very much unfinished.In this tale Jenny is a reluctant schoolgirl- well, sixth-former to be precise- in a fictional English new town, with an overbearing mother, an annoying sort-of-friend named Leah "Leelee" Jones, and many enemies, who is constantly dreaming of adventure and wishing she could get away from it all. As it will turn out, she can, but not in the way she expects...First part(s) can be found on the author's blog here, though future versions of the story may be subject to revision. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Justified as it's not our universe, but despite the (roughly) modern day setting we have BBC Radio 4 being still called the "Home Service" and the school (called an "academy", very much a modern development) still has "forms" (first to sixth) not "years" (7 to 13)note notice the disparity in numbers? Well, in the old days Years 12 and 13, the optional "sixth form", were (probably) sometimes called the "lower sixth" and "upper sixth" respectively. Not to mention the fact that Jenny still listens to music on "cartridges" and the existence of airships in common use. | |

Girl Posse | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_2676e225 | comment |
Girl Posse: As led by Charlotte Mitchell. The "Bitch Squad" Jenny refers to, though, may or may not refer to pretty much the entire female student population that isn't her and Leelee- none of the other girls seem to like either (This may be refuted by later updates, as it makes Jenny too unsympathetic which is not really what the character is supposed to be. Possibly even retconned so that Charlotte's Posse is the "Bitch Squad"). | |

School Is for Losers | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_541094dc | comment |
School Is for Losers: Played with. Jenny would much prefer to be off on adventures but goes (and pays what attention to studies she does) because her mother forces her; Leelee takes a much more ambivalent attitude- school is the place you go when you get bored of riding round the park scaring the ducks, an attitude Jenny resents. (Oddly subverted when Jenny chides Leelee for not recognizing a Shakespeare quote.) | |

No Dress Code | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_58dc30fe | comment |
No Dress Code: Levendale West Academy, unlike most Real Life examples of The Good Old British Comp, has no obvious school uniform, and whilst even the teachers are puzzled by Jenny's habit of wearing goggles, they do nothing about it. There are no real sexually-provocative examples in the narrative, but some of the other girls are implied to be wearing makeup, a definite taboo in British school uniform regulations.note Not that that bothers most teenage girls in Real Life, of course! In Real Life this might be justified with Jenny and others her age, being sixth-formers; Leelee is a fourth-former (Year 10) but still is out of uniform. | |

Education Mama: Jenny's mother, who amongst other things insists on her being half an hour early to school "to create a good impression". Jenny would rather be dreaming of adventures, though, even though it won't help her pass Further Maths note In Britain this is an A-Level course which would hint that Jenny in this story is somewhere between 16 and 18. This is confirmed in an update.. | |

Needless to say this dream was not pleasant. | |

Mixed Metaphor: Jenny uses one when making a snarky comeback to Charlotte, telling her to "go take a kite-surf off a short pier". | |

Flash Sideways: Jenny's dreams and daydreams are implied to be this, given according to Jenny Everywhere lore, she can shift awareness into the minds of her other selves in other universes. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Jenny cones downstairs, an Affectionate Parody alternate universe version of BBC Radio 4's Today programmenote for non-Brits, it's a morning news and current affairs show, usually incorporating a religious homily slot entitled Thought for the Day. is on the radio. In this universe, though, Radio 4 is still the Home Service. When Jenny tells Charlotte to "Go fly a kite!" it was loosely inspired by Mary Poppins, though meant in an insulting sense, not literally. Charlotte mocks Jenny by calling her "Amy Johnson" (a famous British aviatrix of the early 20th century, who set numerous records before being crash-landing in WW2 whilst serving as an auxiliary pilot- for American readers, kind of the Transatlantic Equivalent of Amelia Earhart, if you will). The author's note explaining Levendale City's Where the Hell Is Springfield? status explicitly mentions the Trope Namer. | |

Creator Provincialism | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_d68c925d | comment |
Creator Provincialism: Though the setting of Levendale City is kept deliberately vague, it's also definitely stated as being in England; characters drink tea, watch football, listen to BBC radio and study for A-levels; whilst a few North-Eastisms are inserted (boys and girls becoming "lads" and "lasses" and Leelee's tutor referring to her as "our Leah"). These, too, are deliberate. The "Amy Johnson" reference is something like this, given the Transatlantic Equivalent would probably be Amelia Earhart. | |

Can't Live with Them, Can't Live without Them: Jenny has this sort of relationship with Leelee. The latter frustrates the former no end, but life is pretty miserable without her. Ultimately, Jenny will turn out to be A Friend in Need. | |

But Not Too Black | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_e251fae2 | comment |
But Not Too Black: Jenny has a (presumably white) English father and a mother of uncertain ethnicity (there are vague hints she's an immigrant). Given the stock description of Jenny Everywhere as vaguely "Asian or Native American" this both suggests this trope and gives some clues as to Jenny's Mum's origins, though it was written with Write What You Know justifications since the author has no direct experience of being an ethnic minority in Britain. | |

The Ditz | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_e2d457 | comment |
The Ditz: Leelee. She does whatever she feels like, oblivious to anything else and regardless of how much sense it makes.note Though usually, it seems this inevitably involves bunking off school and riding her bike round the park; this is slightly Played for Drama as Jenny hints the park is infested with "perverts" who sexually harass passing young girls. She also doesn't get words like "enlighten", or quotes from Shakespeare. Not yet written, but she'll also end up being oblivious to a bus which nearly kills her, prompting Jenny to discover her shifting powers trying to save her. | |

Sympathetic P.O.V. | |
The Genesis of Jenny Everywhere / int_e7db27c7 | comment |
Sympathetic P.O.V.: very much written from Jenny's perspective, despite being a third-person narrative, and often delving into her thoughts. The very un-sympathetic view of the other girls at the school, particularly, is Jenny's opinion and may or may not be true. | |
