Chapter Three (The Devil's Shilling: Celebrity Journalism and the Hero's Perspective in "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon") is now done. It is 11,405 words long. It took me a month and a half to write it. Twice I threw out everything I had and started over.

I am so finished with child prostitution.

On to catastrophic boat accidents and the public commemoration of Stead.

Does this mean your sister can come out of hiding now?

I sold her to pay my internet bill. He seemed a very nice gentleman.

Conveniently for me, the age of consent in Canada is only fourteen, one year greater than the age of consent that Stead found so offensive in 1885.

I did wonder why you hadn't mentioned her for a while. Poor sis!!!

Also, whyfore are you defriending from the other journal? I cried.

omg plz stop crying!!1!

*mops up your tears*

I just was finding my two flists a little unwieldy, given that I had about thirty of the same people friended on both, and did some organising. Everyone who I have friended only for fannish things got shunted over to [livejournal.com profile] ella_minnow and the people that I'm more interested in for themselves are here.

Now everything's tidy in a way that is quite pleasing to my obsessive compulsive soul and I'm not reading the same flist twice over every day in order to read the two or three posts that aren't on both.

Particularly when you do the earlobe thing.

*does not purr like a demented kitten when you do that no really*

batman: *BROODS*
alfred: Master Bruce?
batman: *GRUMP*
alfred: Master B- ... er, Batman?
batman: Yes?
alfred: I was wondering when you might be finished with the towel from the guest bathroom. Only it's due for laundring, you see.
batman: *SCOWL*
alfred: Oh, right, sorry, sir. What I meant to say was, 'I notice that your Bat-cape is a bit worse for wear. Perhaps due to all your nancy faffing about in caves dashing crime fighting. If you don't have any immediate plans to save the people of Gotham from the untold terrors of the street, I could take your Bat-cape and have it back to you, clean and pressed, in about an hour and a half.'
batman: Oh, alright.
alfred: *under his breath* Wanker.
batman: What was that?
alfred: Oh, nothing sir. Just thinking about stain removal products.
batman: Yes, well then.
batman: *turns back to his brooding*
alfred: *even quieter* Git.
