Yep. You Guessed It...

Still. Sick.

I am sneezing now. A lot. And I'm taking Pseudofed to keep my brain from drowning in excess of sinus fluid. The skin around my nose and mouth is drying out, and I'm medicating to try and keep it healthy.

So instead of staying up late tonight, I will go to bed early. Well, early for me on a weekend. And instead of working on my paper first thing, I will go out with friends to see Robots. Then I'll be back to it tomorrow afternoon to finish rough, rough draft.

Unless my brain does drown.

BDSM Query...

If any of you all have a few extra minutes today or tomorrow and you are inclined to take pity on the Sick!Seraph, please reply to this and talk to me a little about what you think about BDSM fics, and if you know other readers/writers who like/dislike them, encourage them to drop by too.

Your answers can be free form, of course, but I'm particularly interested if you respond differently to BDSM fics if they are FPS vs RPS. Like them better in one form or another? Why? The same thing for writers. Are you more likely to write BDSM in FPS or RPS? Why? What is it about BDSM fics that you particularly enjoy? Or if you are one of those people who see a BDSM warning on a fic and think, "I'll pass," why? Are there any cliches or trends in BDSM fics that bother you? What are they and why?

I'm mostly focusing on the LOTR fandoms here, because saying anything specifically that applies to a single fandom is near impossible. It becomes even more so when extended across fandoms.

*toddles off to medicate self*

Episode III...

Okay, so I took my sick self off to see Robots today (more about that later), and sprinkled in among previews for some truly horrible looking dreck was a preview for SW Epsode III.

I would like to say publically that if Lucas makes Episode III as good as it looks in the preview, if he gets someone to help him with story and dialogue, if he comes through, I will forgive him for putting me through the torment and agony that were Episodes I and II.

Come on, George, don't let me down.
