dolorous_ett | It's all gone a bit quiet round here...

This is mostly because large parts of my life as it now stands involve sitting around and waiting for things to get started. Nothing worth angsting about, but it's playing hell with my concentration. My story is stymied too - Hagrid's got into a long conversation with the Weasley twins and I'm having problems bringing the conversation to an end and getting them out of the house.

So - to keep things ticking over on my poor journal until something happens - a couple of fairly random questions.

1. Is it cruel to shave a dog in hot weather? (This is a long-running RL argument which I would really like to be able to put to bed once and for all).

2. Do a lot of RL people know about your fanfic habit? (If you're reading this journal at all, I assume you have one - or once did). I'm very much in the closet - my parents have read "Furious Wielder of Storms" and my partner knows because I don't want him thinking I'm conducting a furtive Internet affair - but apart from that, that's it and I have no urge to widen the circle of those in the know. In fact I'd go to some lengths to avoid it. Is this normal?
