Mar. 28th, 2003 09:51 amWhew, too much to do and therefore wasting time on net. Bad me.
Saw a live journal entry today obviously posted by fundamentalist Christian of Torqemadan zeal who deplores the current state of Hp fan fiction. Ah, well it takes all sorts and if he/she can castigate 'faggots'(his/her term not mine) so slashers and their ilk should be allowed to write what they like as well - assuming certain safeguards are taken - I don't feel that my daughter is ready at 10 to read graphic descriptions of any type of sex.
As to writing, Black Dog is almost finished. I don't know whether to be glad or sorry. It's the first long iece of work that I have ever posted publicly and I just know that some of the readers will feel let down by the denouement. Some, Kizzibee springs to mind, are expecting several pages of explicit explanations and they will be disappointed. If I explain everything I won't need to write Dogs of War and that one's preying on my mind - it'll be much better out than in.
Drawing - got to start on the "If you won't lead follow" pic for Kate. Also need to do a Ginny/Draco for Anise.
I think I ned to write a list.
RL sucks. The war...sigh. I hate propaganda. It's bad enough young men being killed without the govt trying to score points from it. Jingoism didn't die with the empire, unfortunately, and while I appreciate that 'our boys' are brave I'd be happier to see more balanced reporting in the media.
