Amy Z: "I like Simon's sig line.  Much better than "Dilbert lives," whatever
that was.  The Peg Kerr one is nice too.  I have to find her books."
Simon: Which one?
Amy Z: "Psalm 27, the one Ben was picking on.  (The question is rhetorical,
Ben.)"

The Latin bit is from the University of Oxford crest, hence why I use it,
and I like the Psalm in question (number 27) and, in fact, many of the other
psalms.


My sig line: "Mrs. Elizabeth Branford of Devon. She and her young baby son,
Simon, were on a shopping trip to London ... "I was pushing Simon in his
pram ... I hurled myself over Simon's pram to protect him ... I heard the
man I'd just passed cursing loudly. I covered up Simon's ears ..." - A
Sirius Affair"
Amy Z: "Have you showed this to your mom?"

My mum visited yesterday, but we were too busy doing other stuff to be able
to discuss fanfic. Maybe I will have an opportunity soon, but I am very
unsure as to how she would take it. As I mentioned over on the PoU group,
her name is not Elizabeth (how was that name picked?), and I am not sure she
would be too pleased to have become immortalised in fanfic with the wrong
name.

A couple of my fanfic sigs are a bit long, but have decided to use them
anyway as they are quite good (especially good is the Surfeit of Curses
one - see below).


Amber Spyglass message nearly finished. Should be up soon!

"The Curse of Simon Branford ... the curse had been created only three years
before by a witch who was angry that her lover, Simon Branford, hadn't given
her a meaningful birthday present; until the curse was removed, he had to
give her constant, uninterrupted massages. He had become so skilled at the
task that by the time the witch removed the curse three days later, they
decided to open a luxurious spa ..." - Surfeit of Curses Chapter 6 - My Ever
