still getting my head round the hole mary sue thing (not read much fan fiction so had to google the term) and not sure I like it as a term as any writer (and I have been know to scribble the odd novel [first is bad and second isn't finished]) puts part of themselves into any character whether they realise it or not. Can't see anyway round a certain amount of this in writing fan fiction but never tried it....

*gets him an iced mocha, and makes one for himself, pouring a more than ample portion of vanilla vodka into his own*

LA - you should catch them and train them to fight off would-be attackers. :) That, or eat them.

RedLava - PR got sick enough of her job and the BS she was having to deal with there, so she went and got a new one (similar or better pay, IIRC). One of the main changes is that it is a "regular hours" job, so she has had to adjust to that.

Since I've just been having a teenager swearing at me two inches from my face would you mind putting a tot of something in that coke?!

So, when can we expect to hear from PR about her first day at work then? I'm dying to hear how it went!
