wrongness, foul and fine

[bronze_ribbons]

The foul: Saints and spermaceti, it sounds like Moby Dick is about to get Seeker'd. (Entertaining rant, though, albeit not for the faint of heart or delicate of sensibility. Link via odogoddess.)

The fine: Overmastered, Nineveh-UK's ficlet on Harriet Vane role-playing Bunter in the bedroom. (There is also a comment-thread containing delightfully-voiced speculations on the potential fallout of said roleplay (or fall-together, as the case may be - I am personally of the belief that it presented additional occasions for Harriet and Bunter's eyes to meet in perfect understanding.) I am exceedingly delighted to be blamed for this.

I don't know how I missed that you were on IJ as well, but since I found you, I've friended :-)

Also, love the use of Seeker'd as a verb. I might have used "cluster fucked" instead, but yours sounds so much nicer and is just as understandable.

Hiya! Great to hear from you - I really enjoyed meeting you in Chicago!

Heh. The tendency to say rude things nicely is a very Southern trait, I fear. ;-)

Hey :-) Likewise! It was one of those "the pleasure is all mine" things.

It's a trait I appreciate, at least. I'm just displaying Scandinavian rudeness there ;-)
