What are your opinions on fics which are essentially collected fragments of a fictional text? As in, letters, phone call transcripts, diary entries? Do they need a grounding point of view or (if well written) do they stand on their own as just those partial texts?

(I'm thinking here of stories like bastardsnow's excellent Stars (Dear Diary Remix) and the like)

Plus, I'm now awake and bored. Anyone got anything that looks vaguely like work and will keep me distracted for the afternoon? (Not allowed to use my headphones except on breaks so vids and songs are out for now)

(random edit here, I don't normally eat breakfast but it's been pointed out to me numerous times (mostly by acrazywench that not doing so is not healthy. So I started eating breakfast lately, but now I get hungrier earlier in the day. That's just so wrong! I'm starving right now, and I said I would stop in to Mothercare to pick up some newborn sleepsuits and scratchmits for my sister (she has gift vouchers to use up). It'll be another four hours before I get home probably. I may keel over on the way.)
