So, uh, as you can see I got distracted in the BF1593 call number section with research for my ever-more-meticulous Founderfic ...

I love research, man. It gives me these ideas that I'd never have thought of in a million years. Even when the relation with what I read and what I write isn't obvious to anyone, I know I'm actually indebted to practically everything that goes on around me in one way or another. These books I'm reading may well have as much to do with what I end up writing -- it needs a title, too -- as JKR and her paucity of Founderfacts, but no one would dream of stopping me writing it on their account.

Fic research is so fun! Cunning Intelligence in Greek Culture and Society sounds intriguing -- can I impose upon you to post a note about it when you've been through it, about whether or not you found it worthwhile?

[mayhap]

Absolutely. I've so far just skimmed it a wee bit.

Have I mentioned yet how incredibly much I'm looking forward to said fic? :D

[mayhap]

Dude, me too!

Oh wait, I'm supposed to be the one writing it. Better get back to that. Although tempting people with vague hints is fun, too.

Evil temptress.
