More Xmas "fun"

[wiseheart]

I brought back the dratted tape. They replaced it. But I couldn't check it there, since they - apparently - aren't allowed to open it in the shop. So, I came home. Checked the first tape (the one that was faulty in the first box yesterday). It was okay. I started to relax. Then I put in the second tape (the one that was okay in the first box yesteday). And what, do you think, happened? Yes! It was faulty! Now I'll have to return on Monday again and have them eat it or something.

Jillian, what was your cunning plan?

Other than that, I posted my answer to the Edhellond group's Xmas challence to ff.net:

It's a Legolas-Gimli friendship story called A Dwarven Yuletide, with lots of Dwarven culture, a Dwarven opera performance and other niceties. And it's only one chapter.

Reviews, as always, are muchly appreciated. The muse is anorexic enough as it is. *sighs*

Oi! Perhaps you can get them to swap out the second tape from the first box. :-/
I hope you have a merry Christmas, anyway. May your day be filled with peace, joy and love. :-)

Not very likely. I bought the two sets of tapes in two different shops. And I wasn't the only one bringing back faulty sets. It seems a whole series went out that way. *curses*

The first two movies were all right - I was suspicious about the surprisingly decent price: a two-tape-set for the price of one. Should have known something was foul. *curses some more*
