well, finally, chapter 20

Thanks to Joannna Russ. No, not something she personally did for me, but in her first work about slash, she mentioned how ridiculous the convention was that people would get all gooey and horny with a person directly after fixing them up from grave harm and danger. She said the most natural response in the situation would be disgust and a complete loss of libido. So that rang true and explained a lot to me about what Jack would really do.

On other fronts -- here's the right way to take psyllium should you ever have to:

Pour a large pitcher of water. Have a comfy-sized glass. Fill the glass. Sprinkle in a third of what you're going to use. Stir well, but do not let it sit long. Drink it up. Repeat until you've got the whole dose down. Don't try to eat much.

today's submissions

seven little men: fantasy magazine
convoy: son and foe: this is a mistake, apparently, as I had already resubmitted it to intergalactic playground, having misread my notes, damnit. I'll deal with it if it comes up. I guess.
able and available: aberrant dreams. tasmanian flower basket: um, I have to look it up.

more tonight.

edited: I already got the rejection for seven little men. I can't believe how fast. Three hours?
