Bit of pimpage-

I've joined the fanficlet writing community theatrical_muse. Apply for an unclaimed character, get an LJ for them, join the community, and answer the questions they issue each week (usually on Fridays). 150-250 words expected. More ok, if behind a cut. RP between the characters is permitted but is not part of the community, and if you miss three or more challenges in a row they take the character away and make it available again. Only one instance of any character is permitted at a time (i.e., no "Movie Batman" and "Comic Book Batman"); each mun can have up to three pups.

I got John Constantine to start with. His journal is bastard_john. After a bit of writing him I decided I needed to counterbalance him, since he actively corrodes whatever brain he happens to reside in. I thus asked for, and got, Sergeant Preston (sgt_preston).

Thought you might like to know. John's a lot more active than the Sergeant, but I try to keep them both at least as active as necessary.

*ahem* I need some betas.

I believe I've got the next chapter of Who Ya Gonna Owl? ready for beta-reading. Who's interested?

There is no hope for my people.

Today at my knitting group, I showed 'round the photographs from the first roll of film I took in Canada. We got to a photograph of one of the Mounties in dress uniform patrolling around the Parliament buildings.

One of the women in the group blinked at the sight and said, "What, no moose?"

"Um, that's Ottawa- you know, a city-"

"I would've thought he'd be riding a moose."

THERE ARE NO WORDS.

I mean, thank GOD one of the others glared at her and said, "Nobody rides moose!", but still.

Oh, and because I wasn't sure if I'd inflicted enough pain on myself... I happened to mention that this was just the dress uniform, and that most of the Mounties these days wear regular greyish khaki uniforms unless they've got some special duty. Sure enough, not one of the women there had any idea that the RCMP wore any uniform other than the reds.

I didn't dare tell them that most of 'em have, you know, cars these days.
