passing this along

starwatcher307 posted a link to this on her journal, and now so am I, because I think it needs to be widely read.

This is an insightful little essay on the difference between how trauma is dealt with in fiction (primarily American and Victorian) and in real life. Give it a read, she has some good points.


In completely other news, I'm 5 pages into a "drabble" I was writing, with a projected 3 pages to go. Heh. And here I thought I could write another little short thing....

Totally unrelated, but I thought I'd let you know that someone just posted a fic with Skids and Charlene to mecha_erotica. I haven't read it, though, so I'm not sure how much of it is 'shippy (and I get the impression that there's another party involved).

Is here (http://community.livejournal.com/mecha_erotica/68000.html)! And also here (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2577500/22/), if the first link doesn't work. (The characters aren't actually listed in the author's notes, which is probably why you didn't see it.)

Stupid migraine. *dims lights for you*

YAY! *clicks*

You know it's going to be one of those days when you wake up at night (I work back shift) and the first thing you do is put on sunglasses, in your house, in the dark.
