How to Cope with Being Suddenly Famous, Thursday Second Period
"Right, so," Herc said as he breezed into the classroom today, Max on his heels--and immediately looking around for Chuck, naturally. "First rule of finding yourself suddenly known to the public: don't Google yourself. Or, rather, don't seek out information on yourself. Don't look at the newspaper, or the comments on that YouTube video. Don't eavesdrop on a conversation about you. If you see your face on a magazine cover, don't pick it up. Don't...click on your tag on Tumblr." Was that a thing in 2014? Christ, he could barely remember, it had been a lifetime since then. "And whatever you do, don't Google yourself. If you're lucky, all you'll find is people talking about how you're ugly and stupid and all wrong for that girl you're dating and wrong about everything, and some fan fiction in which you have sex with your brother," which he wouldn't have brought up except it had featured so heavily in Shatterdome prank wars Chuck couldn't possibly be unaware of its existence, "but that probably won't be all you find.
"Now," he said, "each of you has been assigned a scenario, something you might find upon self-googling. We're going to have a group discussion about how everyone would react. Any questions? Let's get started."
