Slashfics are gross and disgusting, and most of the people who write them are likewise. There are a few exceptions; my best online friend writes slash, but she grew up in Japan and Europe and isn't Christian, so couldn't be expected to know better. I'm working on her. You really have to be careful... in LotR ficdom, it's best just to not read. There's more garbage than anything else, and the else is disappointing.
Hi! I'm back. Had to work this morning, starting to write a tutorial for a configurator, so I had to make configurator files. The office nerdboy erased my work not once but twice. I'm just a little upset about that. Mostly it was a fine day, and I think I shall improve my mood by going and reading Doomsday Book, in which almost everyone dies. Or taking my brothers to the park. Either way, I may go psycho... if not, I'll see everyone later.
Oh, and before I forget - I didn't get a chance to say it yesterday but my father is the greatest father in the world, and I couldn't wish for any better. For the Heinlein and Tolkien in my formative years; for the extra hours you made me spend when I was slacking off in math; for the computer geek genes and the excellent role model (my future husband is going to hate my father, I fear) - thanks, Dad.
Oohhh! He LIKES you! ;^)
Why do you think they called it Doomsday Book.
Had to go out for a while, glad to see that most of you pitched in, but there is still a lot of work to do!!
Be sure to pack a lunch and take lots of pictures.
