I make absolutely no promises - RL and my bunnies being what they are...

BUT - if I can, I will try to write you a bonus ficlet in either Jago & Litefoot or the Indigo series fandoms. I've got the first two books of the latter on their way to me (should be here next week), and I'd happily relisten to J&L S2 any time...

I'm not signed up for Yuletide - this would just be a bonus fic (treat, is it?) for you because you're my fwend and I wuvves you...

(Oh dear - sorry! End-of-the-week-itis has struck!)

Also - I am going to have to introduce you to the Scarifyers which is EASILY as good as J&L but comes one CD at a time, so is much less monumental in terms of catching up!

Awww. ♥

And, shhh, Yuletide fics and treats are Super Sekrit!! ;-p

My list of audio to listen to is so long already, I despair of ever catching up on anything, but I'll add it to the ever-growing list! Btw, one thing I accidentally ended up with over the summer was BBC Radio's Bleak Expectations - do you know it? It was very funny and cheered me up a lot when things were awful. Anyway, I have reached the end of it, so next up will be the other Liz audio, and then the S&S!! At my usual snail's pace, but still, it'll be sooner rather than later now. ♥

Are they? Oh dear - I guess I just failed at Yuletide, then. Sorry!

I've not heard Bleak Expectations, no...

And as for The Scarifyers - it's Nick Courtney and Terry (Davros) Malloy, then after Nick passed away, they brought in David (I've Been in Everything Sci-fi EVER!) Warner as a new character to be the foil to Malloy's character, Professor Dunning. (How can you RESIST that combo??!!)

Heh, well, I won't tell! It is an anonymous exchange, though ( ... )

Wow! That's very impressive! (They're very collectible these days, especially so because the pbks were abridged, or many of them were.)

And, aw, no worries! Getting the Post office can be hard, I know. I'll look forward to it whenever it turns up. :-D

I like your letter :)

"The Ten Stupidest Things I've Heard Since Richard III's Remains Were Identified" is hilarious, thank you for revealing it to me!

I like your Chalet School request, and it tickled me that Verity-Anne bothers you; I'd never noticed that one much, but Miss Ferrars going from Kathie to Kathy did annoy me. At least for that one the AO3 tag is Kathie.

Thank you! :-)

The Ten Stupidest Things are very entertaining - someone linked me to them at the beginning of the year and an flister and I saved it up for Yuletide, because it had to be done.

It really is terrible to bother about an Elinorism! I don't know why, either. I expect it's the other way round on AO3 because it's used more often - there's a very careful wrangler looking after the fandom! But I had Three Go To the Chalet School alone of the books with those two in for so many years, that I just find the other spelling odd still.

I'm sure Anne of Green Gables would understand being bothered by that one ;) The ones that really drive me mad are the inconsistent ageing ones, with characters staying the same age for years sometimes!

I suspect it's because my Mum's middle name is Ann and she's never seen the need for people to stick frilly extra 'e's on the end! But, yes, Anne would certainly agree that it makes a difference!

:lol: I'm not sure I've noticed people not-aging, but I'm sure sometimes people turn up in different years to what they were before...
