eHarmony emailed me this afternoon. They want to introduce me to women in Chicago. I'm not sure how they got my email address; is this some sort of subtle hint? Some kind of sign?

I'm a little afraid of these women now.

In other news, I've started the editing process on Stealing Harry, going back through and fixing some grammar and spelling stuff. I'm also changing the odd phrase here and there, but nothing major -- I stopped and smiled a couple of times in chapter one when I saw stuff I knew I couldn't change because they were touchstone phrases from when I was writing it. (I have a good life. I don't regret much. I love you. That's enough.)

I won't say it's badly written, because that'd be false modesty, but man, I have deleted approximately eight billion commas. I feel like in a weird way it's a testament to the rest of my literary skills that you guys braved your way through ALL THESE FUCKING COMMAS and kept reading the story. I mean Cartographer's Craft had some comma issues too, but Stealing Harry has like the Library of Congress back-catalogue of comma issues.

Also I am restoring all the italics, which is super-tedious but very satisfying. Mm, italics.

Anyway, the story's not going up on AO3 until it goes up all at once, but it'll only be another week or two at the outside. Then I get to start on Laocoon's Children. Hopefully young me had cleared up most of his comma issues by then...

Oh man. Decision time. Do I make three pointless observations or do I annoy the entire internet?

Spoilers for Agents Of SHIELD 1.02: ( 084 )

3a. I have to say my favourite part of the episode was the end-of-episode stinger. 3a is a non-spoiler Thing, so I can't talk about it, but the stinger made up for every minute of Ward's presence on my computer screen.
