Argh, that's it, I am abandonning the present tense!

Oh, I can do it in the third person, but is there anything more aggravating than first person present tense?

I'm going to finish editing the last post and then finish the one I'm working on then I'm going to kick the present tense firmly into the past whenever the first person raises its head. I spend half again as much time editing fic as I do writing it!

Yes I am spleening right now.

Something else I'm getting severely pissed at

MY bloody spellchecker.

Alright, it catches most of my appauling typos caused by mind and hands moving way too fast for the keyboard or rational spelling to keep up. And yes it is chocked full of weird words like Chiminage that no rational spellchecker should really contain.

But does it have to be so bloody puritanical?

If I've made a typo in the word 'sex' or 'fuck' correct it please. No, I did not mean to type 'six' and you bloody well know it! Look, there's nothing else it CAN be - if I've typed the word 'fuick' it clearly screams 'oops pushed the u as well' I mean it's right next to the I on the keyboard. It does NOT mean I want to type flick. Or Quick. I mean c'mon what kind of lousy spelling makes you write 'quick' as 'fuick'? And a leper typest missing several essential digits isn't going to get it that wrong.

Damn spellchecker's oppressing me.

Spark in Darkness #48 - time for some slash, methinks

After all, life looks shiny. They're setting up the new shop. They've made some new friends...

Long past time for some sex, don't you think?

And I have to get this plot out anyway, if I want to be able to sleep at all.
