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...

Seen in several places on the F-list:

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

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

What do I expect to find? Well, the historical facts and research have been noted, but I'd particularly emphasize illuminating aspects of past society that one doesn't typically hear about, especially those that we might, in a self-centered fashion, consider too "modern" to have existed at the time.

I also expect to see characters dealing with adulthood. Not just growing up, but growing into who they are after the "up" part seems finished.

And yes, OCs that are every bit as interesting as the canon characters. And animals that act like animals (and not like we would expect).

I know! The Finches are just... wow. I spotted it on my Tweet feed via io9, http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/14479670 from BBC Nature. Families and bonding come in all sorts of different patterns and styles and it is such fun to show that in fic. And, all I'm going to say for now, H., is that after the NFE reveals go up, you and are going to have a nice, long (anonymous) exchange and I hope I got it right because some of our earlier back and forth has definitely been an influence.
