+ I didn't get the chance to reply to comments the other day, but thank you to everyone who laid down some science in my last post.

+ My [livejournal.com profile] rs_small_gifts and [livejournal.com profile] camelotsolstice gifts have both been posted! I am not allowed to read them until I've finished my own submission for the former, but I can't wait to get to them. Thank you, kind gift-making people! ♥

+ I have to say, everyone's flaily posts about Yuletide are making me feel a little better about dropping out. *g* However, I offer much cheerleading - go fandom go!

+ I have successfully made it home despite the flurries of snow that have started appearing - this is England, after all, where transport is not designed to cope with anything that might be described as a weather condition. I can't quite believe I survived this semester, and I am very, very happy to be home.

+ There have been various recent instances of fail I do have things to say about, but I just don't have the energy. I will say, however, that I am completely horrified at the BBC. Just, oh my god, Not Okay. (And, to pre-empt, please note that I am in no mood to argue about whether there's a problem with legitimising the question of whether queer people ought to be allowed to live. Not to mention that as a response to the current situation in Uganda, it's massively offensive to the people currently facing death threats from their own government. Please don't bring that 'debate' to my journal.)

+ Anyway. I am doing my best to resolutely shake off the above - I have tea, a massive jumper, I am sitting on my parents' sofa and now I am going to write a little fic and finish my Christmas cards. Speaking of, thank you to [livejournal.com profile] misswinterhill and [personal profile] avendya, your cards were waiting for me when I got home today! ♥

I opened your post when I first got online, and I honestly couldn't believe that link about the BBC poll was real. Not because I doubted you, just because I didn't want to believe it. But I saw it in a bunch of other places, and I got more and more horrified each time.

In happier news, I'm in progress on my Yuletide right now. I hope it doesn't end up sucking too much! And I also sent off your card at the beginning of the week, so I'm hoping it'll make it to you by next week.
