Sorry about that, but I am now officially on a weeks holiday, and even better than that, I get an extra day because the teachers are on training.

A1 or what?

It's quite sad really, I used to be one of those people who hated school holidays. I still am, just being in college is even worse than being at home.

Especially when your chemistry teacher decides to try and gas you with cyanide.

I was watching the repeat of Becoming part 1 (which I've only seen the oh, 5 times, hurry up with the new series), and have come to the conclusion that either Joss Whedon knows nothing about UK geography, or that the caption is wrong and where it says London, it means Manchester.

Evidence for this:

Drusilla talking about mines - the nearest mines to London are in Cornwall, or Wales. A long way either way. Meanwhile Manchester lies right on top of a coal field.

Spike's support for Man Utd - no sane Londoner would support Man U. So he can't be. Plus I'd like to believe he's a Northerner, his accent is definitely more that way inclined.

Which will be hampered by my having only written in Wrestleslash, X-Men, LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, DBZ and Gundam Wing. I read a lot more, so I might have to use them. I also know it is behind the times, but that is because I am always late. Like with feedback, apologies to various people, but am snookered out of my skull and am good for nothing expect random surveys.

The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it: Reading the stories - LOTR, sheer stupidity - GW

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: The Professionals.

The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy: RPS, daren't deal with it all the time, don't write it, but have no objection to it being written or indeed reading it. Yup, Red = hypocrite

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: LOTR, because thinking about it makes me very sad. Still say two of the best stories I've ever written are in this. I'll post the URLs somewhere along the line.

The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: X-Files

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't: Harry Potter, in which I have one story, one half written vaguely incestuous Mary Sue, and two on the go.

The decent guy at work who teaches you and tells you things and if you'd met in a bar instead of in his office, you'd have pounced, but not when you have to tell him good morning every day: RPS

The one who brought a U-Haul to your apartment after your first date, plunked down on the couch, drank all your beer, and just won't leave. And you don't really want him to, either: This would be Wrestleslash, since everything else I write is Gen. You know how the Orcs are corrupted elves, I'm a corrupted Gen writer. And it's all (well mainly) wrestleslash's fault but I love it all the same. Through good times and bad, in much posting and not, till too much Hardy fic do us part.

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: Harry Potter again.

The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?: That would be Gundam Wing. Don't get me wrong, I love the series, but a lot of the stories are not what they're cracked up to be.

The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly: Harry Potter, or RPS, it's bound to.

The guy who you knew was a loser but you went out with him anyway cause you felt sorry for him, and he's going out with all your friends and you keep shaking your head and wondering *what* they see in him: DBZ, I knew that the fanbase was mainly kiddiewinks, but I still looked (and wrote the one bit) but no. It's bad.

The childhood sweetheart you loved and always said you'd stay in touch with, but then you drifted apart, went your separate ways, and when you think about him now you smile nostalgically, and blush, and wonder what he's up to now: Blake's 7. That's where I started. Must look some of them up.

And then there's the one you look at, that you've always been in love with but you just *know* that you'll fuck it up somehow and it would be better to dream than act on your impulses...because Cinderella was a fairy tale, and baby, you ain't got the fairy godmother in your corner just yet: This would be the X-men, which I loved since kiddiehood, but daren't write since everything I come up with is sort of Mary-Sueish.

Yes, I know fanfiction.net is evil and everything, but as far as user-friendly multi-fandom archieves go, it's one of the best.

No More Shall I Fail Him

Spoilers for the film
Rating: U
Summary: Aragorn thinking and feeling guilty

Not A Perfect World

Spoilers for the film
Rating: PG - slightly violent descriptions
Summary: Elrond contemplates his daughter's choice. (And damn him for being so stoic.)

The second one is probably my favourite out of all the things I've written. They're both short, but any more would have been padding.
