Bad hobgoblinn

I was looking forward to a nice kid-free Sunday afternoon and evening. But "allas, the Lex Murphiae holdeth alwey trewe" (with apologies to Geoffrey Chaucer hath a blog.) I got called in to sing an extra service at 2:00 (1:00 call) that turned out to be at 3:00. Not enough time to get boy out to his godparents and back after CCD, and he wasn't ready yet anyway. So I did not become kidless until about 8:00, and didn't get back home until almost 9:00. And I did not have my computer with me for all the down time, never mind internet access.

So, in addition to not having any time to do more than look at the various opinions in my two polls when I got in, I did not post any portion of my epic. And I have scores due TODAY for SOGA awards. I turned in the section I had done last week, but I have not even read the stuff in this other category.

I will get both of these done, but it may be a few days. Sorry for the delay.

And yes, I think I will cut my hair. Just won't be today.

Quick Writing/Meta rec

Apologies to those who have already seen this on antennapedia's journal-- I have a number of friends now I know are not on her list, so I thought I'd share, too. This is a fantastic essay on POV in fandom. My comment may be of interest here, but really, the whole thread and comments are well worth a look. Enjoy.

Sadly, the poll mentioned is now closed. ETA: No, I just got word that there was an issue with the poll-owner's account which has been resolved. Have fun taking the poll.

I better get some work done, long as I'm here.

Fic Update: In Loco Parentis 6/? (HP,genfic, FRT)

For anybody following it here, the next part of In Loco Parentis is up here. As always, thanks for your readings and reviews and general support. I decided to go ahead and post almost all of the section. Reading through, I caught a lot of things and smoothed out some things on my own (with sahiya's voice imagined in my ear-- research_girl got to most of this) and there Really wasn't a better place to end it.

And now to play Uno with Wee Hob, and then to do some of the fic judging I got some extra time on.
