My apologies if you got auto-sent an 'update' from this comm. Apparently my 'Post to' button was stuck on WriterCon and not my own journal so some of you may see the update that was meant for my flist, not this comm. And of course having deleted that I've now lost the entire post intended for my own lj. Of course I have. *headdesk*
