James was supposed to be at work today. I got up with him at 7, helped him dress then went back to bed. A few hours later he was back after the lifts at work broke down. Due to a health and safety rule he's not allowed to go up the stairs, and they couldn't find him any work on the ground floor, so home he came. What annoys me is the lifts break down often, and each time they do he needs to use a sick day, or like today, make the time up at a later date.

One year today I posted my first offical bandom fic Hope and Shatterproof Glass -- I'd posted ficlets hidden in comments before that. It was for the pic for a 1000 challenge, and I thought it would be nice to try and mark the occasion by posting my response to this years challenge today. I got an idea, which I still like a lot, but then started writing something completely different. MCR as mer men. I know! Really, I know.

I've been dithering about posting because it really is quite ridiculous, but as someone very smart told me earlier, I've written and posted miniaturised Panic and MCR fic, the ridiculous boat has already sailed. I have the best friends, they always say what needs to be said. So if I get the editing done I'll post that later, and wow, did it needed editing. The problem is with these 1000 word stories any error is obvious as you don't have the extra padding words to help conceal.

So yes, maybe Way heavy mer men fic later. I'm sure you all can't wait.
