Escapade!
At the Escapade con hotel with Master Elayna, and about to head off to the Getty for a morning of cultural enrichment. We should be back by the afternoon to indulge in the slow arrival of slashfen.

It took a lot of words to tell his story, because he could only use the ten hundred words that everyone uses, and he could not use all the other tens of hundreds more words he knows because he reads a lot.

Is it fair when:
Is it fair when, on the one and exact same day, you can:- get your first invitation from the AARP for membership; and
- have your period start?

A hint to all budding slash writers:
If your fic includes the words:
heavy sobs now wracking his entire frame
go back and rethink. Whatever justification you might have had for writing those seven words, it wasn't good enough.
This public service announcement was brought to you in an intermittent small series by yet another bitter old cow of fandom. -
Sluttishness
So, I am a book slut.
I'm also a stop motion animation slut - it's as close as you can come to magic in the real world. So of course I am a slut for this:
(though, to my sorrow, I do sincerely believe that new-book bookshops will vanish in the next ten years, or else change their nature entirely). -
Now hold on just a minute...
