Just read an amazing story by Torch, about Lupin, Snape and Black and I feel all uplifted and zippy. No slash, but that was by the by and there were lots of lovely undertones. That person can write so well and make it seem effortless - something I aspire to.

Think I might have a go at the Parapet fic competition. My Lupins, Snapes, and Blacks are ranked and waiting for instructions, or rather, screaming to be let out of their boxes. How heartless am I? Keeping them locked up like that. Tut.

Been scuttling about finding all these litle lj corners today, while I should have been working. How satisfying. Stiil can't get Torch's story out of my head, I'm going to have to read it again, in peace this time, rather than at work where there are roughly a gazillion interruptions. I was thrilled when I read 'On writing' by Stephen King, and he used the same joke. Oh, what joke I can hear you say. 'Roughly a gazillion' of course. How funny is that? The silence is deafening.

It's fun being on lists, but sometimes I wonder what the people do who post lots and lots. Where do they find the time? It takes long enought to read the blasted things, never mind come up with intelligent and interesting replies. I suppose the answer to that is that a lot of replies are neither intelligent or interesting. Well, that's that sorted out then. But no, because there are some who can seemingly come up with reams of fascinating stuff.

Exercise time.
