Sorry for the delay...

I really, honestly inteded to write some more about our wonderful trip, but I'm still trying to catch up with everything that has happened during my absence. Plus, I thought posting the next installment of the Torchwood Wedding story and uploading some stuff to make it available on FF.Net was more urgent. I shouldn't have bothered, honestly. It really doesn't matter when it gets mostly ignored, save the faithful three or four people who actually do read it. :(

In any case, heat wave is depressing, school has restarted (even though without the kids, for the time being), the flat is a mess, but at least I've managed to get some writing done. Not much, but since it's mostly a l'art pour l'art act - it isn't so as if my fans would break my door down for the next update - I'm vaguely pleased with myself.

I've caught up with some of my favourite Merlin and Torchwood stories - it was actually an intelligent move to put them to story alert, considering the fact how flooded both fandoms are with poorly written, mediocre shit that gets enthusiastic welcome - and I'm just about to move on to Stories of Arda where there are some long-ongoing train wrecks I cannot resist reding. Again, the sort that gets enthusiastic welcome.

Well, yeah, life is unfair, but at least I'm having fun. Sometimes.

OTOH, I'm currently re-watching Alien Nation - thanks the_wild_iris to hunt it down for me! - and am still amazed how excellent that show still is. C'mon folks,it's been decades, and it's still 300% better than anything current television comes up with in the sci-fi category.

Quite frankly, I've seen a lot of poorly-written, grammatically insulting stuff on SoA, too. Or well-written, grammatically correct (as far as I can tell) but pretentious and annoying stuff. The train wrecks I've been following for quite some time belongs to the latter sort: interesting premise, but overblown, condescending and in some parts downright off-putting. I still can't stop reading them, not even after 100-plus merciless chapters, because a) I'm not the person who quits easily, and b)I really want to know how they end.

I used to like Aragorn, but then the movies came. I no longer despise him as much as I did after the first movie, but I'm afraid both him and Galadriel are ruined for me, forever.
