See my head explode.

Someone actually wrote that story? I was sort of hoping it was just a myth PPCers tell one another in lieu of ghost stories.
Thank you for writing the Wiki page. That was incredibly brave.

With a huge list of things to do with my writing once I've unpacked and such ... we need to work on a plan for the OFUR's next few installments, and Kit wants me to help with the Naruto furries mission, and I think Pads said she'd help me with that short Harry Potter one which mutilates Nine Inch Nails? ...

But that can wait. Right now I'm just going to quietly collapse and cuddle my ferrets because I missed them.

The other very important box is the one that says "tick this so we can share your details with the uni so they can give you a bursary". Except apparently they're changing it this year to "don't tick this box so we can share your details". Just to confuse people.

All you really need to do is send a private message on there.

Because if I read correctly, LJ-Talk involves extra software I don't have.

My brain's fuzzy of late so I can't think up a good enough way to slap her down, unfortunately. Any suggestions?

That is definitely patronising to the nth degree.

...but my LJ name is of course lady_rilwen, and if you sent me the details I could take a crack at it. I'm...not the best artist, but I could try. Or you can save me for a back-up plan, which is a better idea, in case you can't find anyone better.

That's just stupid. Why would you not want to?

But I am a fan of getting `Sues to "accidentally" add together glicerine and nitric acid. The fun is never ending.

...Just wait until you start dealing with the SLC. My favourite part of their forms is the bit that says "tick this box if you want to apply for all the money you're entitled to".

I'll stand a chance. I'm probably going to end up calling the college on Monday and asking if I can go down and get a tutor's help because UCAS is driving me up the wall.

*cackle*

You'll get in. I remember that stress and I'm so glad it's over.

The flair is just a tongue-in-cheek joke because PJ's Nazgul and the Dementors look so much alike.

Logically, it means you are a keeper of history, as Wikipedia defines annal as 'Annals (Latin Annales, from annus, a year) are a concise form of historical writing which record events chronologically, year by year.'

Is it just me, or is the usage of the word 'Darling' in this context the most condescending thing EVER?

I hope that college doesn't sap my brain like that if I get in that is.

Did you also point out to her that, despite physical similarities and abilities, Nazgul and Dementors are not the same thing. And that it was Tolkien, not PJ, that created the Nazgul.

Of course, this is sounding very 'Annal Retentive', isn't it?

…but I plan to have Dustin and the Gary Stu in an aerial duel at the end of A DIOM Fanfic. Thing is, I'm not sure how to pull it off.

I saw a piece of flair on Facebook last night that reads 'Does Peter Jackson know the Nuzgul are chasing Harry Potter?', so I sent a message to the creator saying it's nAzgul, not nUzgul. The following was her reply:

"Darling can you say Annal Retentive"

Why, yes I can, but I don't know what 'annal retentive' is. I also wasn't aware that it was anal (one 'n', darling) to spell correctly. BTW, according to her profile, she graduated from college this year. I weep for the attitudes graduates have today.

with the Harold the Black thing.

""Hullo! Good morning!" said Bilbo, "are you ready for the great council Harold the Black?""

*shudders* Why did he change Harry's name? Why? It's like Buffy authors calling her Elizabeth for some random reason.

I remembered it from a sporking someone once did. I wanted to read the original fic but never got around to it. I think I had it saved on my laptop but after raising it from the dead (almost literally. It's virtually lifeless) I couldn't find it. Also, if anyone can find the sporking, that would be most appreciated (though I realise the chances of that are slim to none).
