No prob.  I'm usually in a catatonic/zombie state of mind.

Heh, though, I'm reminded of this comment by a gal, Jessica, who I
don't know... which is kinda ironic considering her message was about
how difficult it was for new HP fanfic writers to gain a readership
because the fandom has grown so much.  Anyway, her comment:
"...It really is much harder to make a name for yourself in HP
fanfiction now than it was back when I was first introduced to it.
It's possible to become well-known, but well-known to *who* is the
real question. I mean, I never seem to stop hearing from certain
people. Like, for instance, redina, who has an opinion and never fails
to put it to use. And yet I wonder whether those people I look up to
have even heard of her, let alone think that she's well known."

Or in other words, Dina has a big mouth and won't shut up. {g}  You
can estimate how tired I am by how chatty I get because brain starts
shutting down and thoughts just start unraveling... and spewing onto
the internet.

Right now, I'm very tired and an outline for a discussion popped up
about the connections in S4 and S5 Smallville episodes, Lex Luthor and
Clark Kent's friendship, and SV fans being upset when TPTB are
essentially tapping into fanfic 'cliches' and the irony of it all...
swimming in my brain.

Might make for a good topic... then I'll get some sleep in and realize
drooling over the keyboard would've been better. ;-)
