1. Cruising is the way to go. Divine food and being waited on hand and foot. My mother says I was clearly born into both the wrong class (how very British!) and era. Heh. Note: do not travel on Independence of the Seas until they've sorted out their issues with norovirus. Biggish outbreaks (450-odd) on three consecutive voyages does indicate a ( Read more... )

 Am unlikely to get online tomorrow night - unless I can convince my Streak to do the wifi tethering thing - so this will probably be my last night on LJ or the interwebs for.... *gulp* eleven days. I'll check tomorrow in the morning, but after that, who knows?!  'Cos I am off a-crusiing, and now that the annoying part of going on hol is done (ie, ( Read more... )

Indeedy, My plot bunnies are working very hard at this, and in the spirit of the afore mentioned self-discipline, I am giving them full rein. Only one or possibly two more parts to go! Should end up over 20,000 words which will be the longest thing I've written for a while.

Er, since this is growin' wisibly, I'm starting to wonder if there's any ( Read more... )

( Part the Second )

Well it is if you've ever spent time paintakingly downloading a fic chapter-by-chapter from an archive that doesn't support that handy 'print whole story' feature as Teaspoon does, for example. FF.net and Fiction Alley are two of the former... so some bright spark has come up with a piece of software callled (inventively enough...) Fanfiction ( Read more... )

Lookee: here

Skip the actual story. You know everything you need to know about the sheer level of crapiness from the author's notes and first paragraph. Go straight to the reviews... and they are hilarious!

Incidentally, this story has the dubious distinction of being top of the list when one googles "worst fanfic".

Goffic, indeed. *dies*

I want to go to bed. Trouble is, I can't be bothered getting up to go. Oh well.

Have been on a Worst Witch kick this week with the inevitable result of a cross over. An HP crossover, to be exact, although I haven't been able to shake the absolutely insane idea of a teacher's conference. You know, combine Hilda Annersley, Nell Wilson, Albus ( Read more... )

Heh. So I kinda accidentally-done-a-purpose (I do so love that phrase, thanks EBD!) forgot about this journal.

So what have I been doing? Well, finishing my thesis ranks pretty high. I actually got the blasted thing printed and bound ('nother £13 down the drain) in spiral-form for what I hope will be the last time. I swear if I have to look at that ( Read more... )
