I am neither sardine nor lemming - whee!

Home now. I had to stay late to make up for my late entry, and then my bus home was entirely full. Packed like sardines! At six in the evening!

Instead I walked down to the UVillage and splurged on pizza (mmm...deep dish spinach...mmm) and *then* the bus home. Which was much less full and I took the opportunity to call Mom.

She's packing, Dad's working a convention in Las Vegas until Friday and they close on Monday. Eep! for them. And Dad still doesn't have a firm contract. Oi.

In other news, I seem to be attempting to gain the title of Chief Stroppy Bitch on WIKTT. I've called two people on stupid shit today - one was attempting to define flames and con-crit - 'if it's useful, it's con-crit'. Sorry, kiddo - personal attack=flame. Nothing else. The other was responding to someone who'd complained about the cliche of Severus getting pretty much constant Cruicatus, and holding the Sybil's Oracle as proof of concept. Er - no. One fic does not a cliche redeem.

Next!

And that's my title - hands off.

I think the poor tortured Severus cliche can be redeemed by a really powerful author, but let's face it, there aren't that many of them out there. I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole in a straight fic.

Mind you I can feel a parody coming on. Hermione helps a poor wounded Severus who's just been out on the piss and fallen over........
