Prophecy, Entry Ten. Summaries: Sunday.

[valis2]

Sunday

Breakfast with marginaliana and josanpq--we talked about the possibility of smaller, slash-friendly cons.

Later we talked with drusillas_rain, chinae, and julian_black about the shorthand effect--how long it will take for shorthand to emerge. The general consensus is six months. The best example for shorthand is HBP--"After Snape was absolved of his crimes," for example. Right after HBP you couldn't have gotten away from at least a thousand words explaining this situation, but after six months, all you need is that line.

We also talked about great, famous fanfic writers, because I saw amanuensis1 across the lobby and had no idea what to say to her at all. I mean, really, what do you talk about?

Then we wrote RPF about Julian trying to off me because I was too cheerful. "Oh, what a lovely glass of water, Julian, thank you! Ooh, it smells like almonds!"

Julian and I ate lunch, and she smugly pointed this out:



I hope you all notice that it says It's Tentacle-y Delicious. Oh yes.

Then I drove Julian to the airport.

Then I ended up sitting at the border crossing for THREE HOURS.

Then I felt tremendously guilty for suggesting that lampblack take that particular bridge home.

*sigh*

One more entry, and then I'm done. huzzah!
