My, you've all been very talkative.

Um, I didn't realise there was a premiere or anything. I was downstairs reading a book. I'm not very good at being a fan, I'm afraid. The other day I stood in front of Empire magazine in WH Smith's, and then I walked away without buying it.

I'm rather glad I'm not doing Secret Slasha. I'm writing my post-war gender-weirdness AU instead. I do want to do the DIR Christmas Challenge, but all my ideas, so far, have come to nothing. Humph.

I made some DIR icons during a slow day at work, and was very pleased with myself because I managed to find Will, Bran, Arthur and the Black Rider in a photo of some people at one of those save the countryside marches in London. No Merriman sadly. I'm not sure I actually like them now though, so they'll probably languish on my hard drive for ever.

My monitor has introduced a strange red cast to proceedings, which makes everything rather difficult.

Oh well. As you were.

Yes, sorry, bloody abbreviations. The Dark is Rising, the sole other fandom I've written (more than one story) in.

Is it a book? Or just a really cool song by Mercury Rev *g*?

It's a series of children's fantasy-type books by Susan Cooper, which I first read when I was about 10. The really cool song was inspired by the books, I believe. :)

Oh, is that the series you recommended a few months (possibly a year) ago? I was trying to think of it a while back and couldn't.

I love the song, though - I keep trying to write a VigOrli with that theme.

It's quite likely. I'm always trying to push those books on people. If it wasn't that, it would have been Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials.

Ah sorry. The Dark is Rising, my other oft-neglected fandom.

I'm the last person on this planet to spread unnecessary panic but am I the only one who sees the connection ? Blue bins and red computer screens in itself isn't too disturbing but when green aliens start appearing in your living room you might be in trouble.
I hate too say you brought this on yourself but one of your icons suggest you have the ability to drink with your finger. This might attract blue bins and green aliens which can cause red screens. If there are aliens don't call me cos I'm a bit of a coward. Tonde

Hmm, do you think so?

Don't worry, I'll leave any alien-related business up to Mulder and Scully.

Standing in front of Empire magazine? Hmm...'member when you asked if there was anything you could send me? *g*

*drools*

Of course I've been told I can get it here but it's the January issue so I'm not sure when exactly I'll be able to get my hands on it.
