The last instalment *inserts hollow laugh here* of Collective Mutants is done and posted on OTL and Southern Stars. Go read, or not; all I know is, I'm not writing any more. I'm a horror/crime writer, not a soap opera writer, dammit! ;)

You know...

After reading some of "Book of Dreams" I'm beginning to understand why you like Sandman so much... and where you get some of the unspeakable eww-ness of the horror thing from... *grins*

Very happy to see some resolution in Collective Mutants, even if it's unspeakably sad about Fatimah. The Fish/Allison thing was just a little too dangly at the end of the last one. I loved the little detail about how her tops fasten with laces down the back. Mmmm... I would have thought that her mother would come, even if it meant defying her father... dunno, actually, maybe not. Allison's self-centred-ness was also nicely authentic. And the bit where Fish goes "I dunno about _you_, mate," about getting sex was hilarious. Oh yeah, and the symbolism of fire and water mutations just not mixing was pretty, if subtle.

Why no more soap opera? You do it so well... *sticks tongue out at Rossi-mama and runs off giggling*

Ah... I, on the other hand, am very lazy and in desperate need of tops to wear to work after an exceedingly busy weekend. (Not that I remember doing anything at all, but it seems to have been busy. *looks confused*) So I'll be going home to do ironing and have a nap, methinks.

Hmm... Wednesday is Chinese New Year dinner thing which Mum is making fuss about, so not then either... Maybe next week? *plaintive look* I will bring Book of Dreams back then too. I'm now dying to read the actual graphic novels though.

Actually, I can't really train until I have this wrist looked at by a doc anyway, so it might not be for a while. Guess I'll have to go find some other exercise to do so I don't bloat any more... (all that sitting around at a desk all day reading contracts and snacking to keep awake is TERRIBLE).

Oh crap, forgot whether I mentioned it or not. But if I didn't, please don't mention Eric to Will. I'll tell him. Eventually. But I don't need to hear his disapproval right now. And it's really none of his business anyway.
