unproductive, undead and unenthused
I am so tired it is stupid.
I've got 2 x 45 kids tomorrow, so why am I feeling so knackered now?
Also, bbd and the mummyfrog have just worked out that they have about 1200 holiday snaps from Egypt.
ETA: Radio 4 has done a documentary about slash and fanfiction -- it was on when bbd picked me up and he was trying to explain how weird some of that slash stuff sounded -- the idea of Dracula and Harker getting it on -- I owned up to wing!fic. Actually, it was really smart, funny and not too toe-curling. They also made some interesting comments on how fandom feels about 50 Shades of Dulux* and how the inter-fan collaboration feedback model feels about how their contribution being monetised. Uh, something like that. The bits about wing!fic and Mary Sue were more fun and interesting. Also, a gay author on slash -- "I've always called it writing dirty stories" -- and how if it makes somebody happy, they should go and keep writing dirty stories.
*it's a brand of house paint -- I thought this was really funny when I first thought it.
