Is 11-year-old boy reicarnated WWII pilot? This is sort of unclear and boring at first, and then when you get about halfway through it, it's like "oh, well, yeah, that is a bit weird."

Did something really wanky happen on yuletide last night that the mods had to delete posts?

I'll add to this later. Have to bring the cat to the vet now. Oh cat. ETA: on cat -- she's getting fluids, blood and urine tests, a vitamin shot, her nails trimmed and x-rays. They think it's her liver. I'll know more later and yet more tomorrow.

Welsh rugby player comes out. [note: audio file, when I find a transcript, I'll link] This is slightly old news (a few days), but as you might imagine, if it's both about gay stuff and Wales, about 80-billion people link me to it. And it's good stuff. So hey! Also, in the land of shallow: I really do love the accent. (I do! Stop laughing!)

The holiday cards came. They look STUNNING. So those will start going out "soon."

OMG, Yuletide pinch hit while dealing with sick cat.

I watched Gattaca for the 80-billionth time last night. If you want to get me (or the lens through which I tend to view and get attracted to other media), watch that. No time to wax poetic about it today, but "I never saved anything for the way back." To think I once had a lover who said I only liked it because it was gay and well art directed; he was so afraid of me.

Los Alamos National Labs just accidentally blew up a building. I have the sudden urge to say that "dynamite is never the only option." Way to go, guys.

Good grief. I don't get it. As you say, the whole point is that stories in microscopic fandoms are being written for the love of it. Yeah, it's a pity that some people have had to bail on their original prompts, but there it goes. The stories are being written. People write differently. It's no affront if someone can generate 1000 words in the time it takes one to write 500.
