...FINE, ROYAL MAIL, GO ON STRIKE WHEN I AM JUST DISCOVERING THE JOYS OF PHYSICAL POST. I was just about to make a 'hey, who wants a letter?' offer, too. I suppose I'll have to make it in a week or so. Also, I've posted a couple of things in the last few days, and I'll be quite annoyed if they don't get delivered until next Thursday. (I'm not optimistic enough to think that the letter I posted this morning will have made it to Vermont already, so that's probably going to languish in a pillarbox for a while.)

Still, at least [livejournal.com profile] draegonhawke's letter, which is a hilarious and wonderful combination of observations on the magazine-publishing industry and musings on which current politicians are most likely to secretly be the Master (with a bonus drawing of Fran with a Pidgeot), made it through before the strike came into effect. Thank you so much, [livejournal.com profile] draegonhawke!

COMPLETE CHANGE OF SUBJECT TIME.

If you feel like it, write a ficsnippet for a pairing you cannot stand and would never usually write in the comments. Try to portray the pairing fairly, rather than just writing the snippet as a way of displaying All The Reasons This Pairing Is Wrong Wrong Wrong and having it culminate in one character killing the other.* Because I think it could be really interesting! I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU BROADEN YOUR WRITERLY HORIZONS; THIS IS NOT AN UTTERLY TRANSPARENT AND SELFISH ATTEMPT TO GET PEOPLE TO WRITE FIC FOR ME AT ALL.

* Of course, if you genuinely believe that there is no way the pairing can possibly not end in murder, kill away! Er, in the ficsnippet.

You know, if you really did write Obama x Obama, you could call it "Obamanation."

Just saying. >3
