I haven't posted any stories in from my Kink Bingo card, so that means I'm taking a year out and will try again in 2011.

Seems like I'm enjoying things too much with Julia to write about other people doing kinky things.

Ah well.

In other news, we understand that Clegg has got into bed with Cameron, but we all know he was really thinking about Major.

It's fanfic when I write about the flu
But can one be a fan of a disease?
I'm just not sure it's what I ought to do.

There's lots of meaty topics there to chew;
The sort of verse I'd polish off with ease
In fanfic, were it not about the flu:

Which myths are false, and which of them is true;
Misinformation carried on the breeze:
I'm just not sure it's what I ought to do.

My friends, I fear, might wish me to eschew
this work -- I might find nobody agrees
It's fanfic when I write about the flu --

But news of my approach is nothing new:
Eschewing any social niceties
I'm justified in what I sought to do.

I need a counter-topic. Here's a clue:
Rehearse my inner voices' nervous pleas --
It's fanfic when I write about the flu,
I'm just not sure it's what I ought to do.

Yes, in case you were wondering, this is the same DougS as you'll find on LiveJournal and assorted other LJ-codebase sites.

It seems likely that I'll be using this journal for my creative output -- stories, poems, songs, things of that nature -- and keeping my semi-regular journalling activity elsewhere where you're used to seeing it. Of course that may change over time.

So this is a placeholder post for comments of welcome, comments of the form "Hi, this is exampleusername but you probably know me on LJ as thisothername, I'm the person who had that long conversation with you in the bar at Eastercon about gluten-free truffles".
