Yeah, so I won't be posting any more of Walk Away tonight - I'm literally propping my eyelids open here. So I'm off to go get some sleep and will post in the morning. (Plus, I've now speed-read liz_marcs's "Acme Heartbreak Repair Kit" which I hadn't previously read and am confident that where I plan to take Walk Away is a completely different direction. I hate plagiarism, even inadvertent, and if it had turned out that the stories were following a similar line I would have just stopped here. It's very different though. I think. So for now I'm going to keep going.)

Oh, and kinda put my foot in it at work but I don't really care. Hallowe'en has always been a big deal in Scotland - much more so than in England but not as big as in the States. Anyway, last year I was at a convention over Hallowe'en but some of the people at work (led by engelsteorra and Monkey I believe) went in for the whole costume thing and I carved a pumpkin before I left. Anyway - this year I checked with the boss and got the okay so I sent an email around inviting people to do the same again and if enough people did it we could maybe have a collection for charity. As I was leaving tonight I said to one woman "I hope you'll be dressed up on Monday!" and she glared at me like I was some kind of demon and said "No, I won't. I'm Christian. I don't believe in Hallowe'en." Um. Ooops. *g*
