Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Ha. Draft.

Mostly I just move around the suck, sweeping it into the metaphorical corners and under the rug.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yuletide.

Right.

I have a first paragraph! Also a piece of dialogue from later in the story. So, hey, only 975 words to go...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm so happy I didn't sign up for Yuletide.

I also think I damn near outed myself as a ficwriter tonight. But we were talking vids! And my friend knew who Sisabet and Lum were!

... disaster narrowly averted. Beer? Evil.

I'm waiting on beta response before I commit seppuku. If it turns out my story doesn't suck, then I just have to keep myself from signing up for a pinch hit.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

For Gris and others who might be looking for novel-length HP fanfic, Sam Vimes has finished Cartographer's Craft.

Good stuff.

Hey. New board.

Heh, I actually JUST copied it to wholesale to my Treo. Airplane reading!

Now if only he would finish Laocoon's Children Year 2 in the next couple of days. I think I like his AU Sorceror's Stone as much as the original, possibly more, and I can't wait to see what he does with the Chamber.

True. I have to wonder, though, how he's going to handle Year 3, given how wildly Remus's and Sirius's fates have diverged from canon.
