Our flat currently has two xDSL lines. IP packets sent from my stationary computer to my laptop three meters away take a detour to London before they arrive.

Chasing Shadows

The fifth and last challenge story, posted mostly for reasons of completeness since it sucks. Sorry about that, trixieleitz. Buffy, Faith, while they were body-switched and involving a musical episode. I have interpreted "musical episode" rather loosely. Fairly explicit, includes non-consensual elements, so don't read if that squicks you.

Monstrous Regiment

The enemy wasn't men, or women, or the old, or even the dead. It was just bleedin' stupid people, who came in all varieties. And no one had the right to be stupid.

I just finished reading Terry Pratchett's latest Discworl novel, Monstrous Regiment. It's really good. About on par with Small Gods and Hogfather, I'd say. Which means that it's not a front-to-back load of laughs, but that it's saying something really worth saying with a thin veener of comedy on top.

It's over!

NaNoWriMo is over!

Well, it's one hour left. In this timezone. But anyway, I'm not writing any more. Total verbiage this month, including the novel and all the stories I wrote after it, has been 71863 words. Which, near as damit, is still 2400 words a day.

Tomorrow I'm going to start reading the novel and marking all the bits that need fixing. When I've done that, we'll see if I fix it or burn it.
