And in today's news -- heart attack

I came back to our rental property from an afternoon at the beach and found my mother in law trying to get into my laptop.  And my spousal unit, bless him, "Sorry, mom, but I don't know my wife's passwords."  Boundaries people.  Respect them. 

In other news, the Narnia Fic Exchange is going great guns!  Check it out!  Read!  Review!  snacky  and caramelsilver are doing an awesome job on it!

And what the heck, everyone else is, so... 
[Meme] If Alfred Hitchcock Made Cinderella
Seen in several places on the F-list:

If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.
— Alfred Hitchcock

What do you expect to find when I write a story?

Booting up someone's computer is like reading their mail or opening their medicine cabinet. or the bedroom nightstand. Oi.

And speaking of rats and crows, io9 reported via BBC that gay finches mate for life.

And it will be your fault and Katarihno's if I end up writing Cinderella fic for fem gen ficathon. I did just have an idea today for Hwin... And YES, Cinderella would totally go to the ball to cross examine the Prince about the legitimacy of certain documents. "I think it is a fake," she insisted, waving the documents under his nose. "These signatures are not in the same hand."

The Prince took a step backward to avoid the insistent presentation and nearly pitched over the balustrade. "Yes, hrrrm, I quite see your point. But what might we do about it?"

"Do? Do?!? You have the key to the vault, do you not? We need to go there at once."

Martin took that extremely convenient moment to rush out on to the balcony and hide behind a pillar. "Sorry, hope I'm not intruding!" Martin whispered. "But if I have to listen to one more sonnet composed in praise of Princess Kay of the Milky Way and her beautiful features carved out of a block of butter, I shall become murderous. Or insist upon a very large bread basket and a bushel of roasted corn ears."

He paused in mid babble and looked about, more carefully. "I say, it seems I am interrupting something. Excellent! Can I help? Does it require foodstuffs? Or fishing hooks? Raising an army of chimney sweeps?"

Cinderella stared then gave him a sideways look that Prince had seen so many times before. To her considerable credit, the women had usually run for their lives upon such an introduction to Martin. At least Cinderella wasn't screaming, yet. And if there was ever someone who would be game for breaking into the royal vaults on Ball Night, it would be Martin, and especially if it meant he could avoid Princess Kay of the Milky Way.

This almost makes me want to go watch Disney's Cinderella, just so I could try to figure out how to rewrite 'helpless girl looking for her Prince Charming' into what you have above. Seriously. I am liking this Cinderella very much!

Gay Finches, eh? Well, I suppose the High King didn't have to lecture them like he did with the Songbirds!

The monogamous, gay finches? Or AU Cinderella? Gawd, only my LJ would have a comment like that..

Both but I was talking about the AU Cinders.

BTW, it's not only your LJ that would have this. There are a couple of NFFRs I can think of that might & Animus Wyrmis
