mysteries and other things

be_compromised has bears. yuletide has BEARS. Christmas presents have bears.

I think someone recced 'A Woman Of Edges', because I had a jump in hits on AO3, and about 8 new kudos. Weirdly, I got a hundred new hits on 'What Happens In Vegas' in the same time period and no kudos from any of them.

That kind of worries me. It suggests to me that someone pointed me out as a "what not to do" or "this is a trainwreck story; read it, but hell don't feed it".

Although, I admit, I sometimes suspect I'm a 'trainwreck author' to a large body of fandom. "Sure, read her stories if you're bored, but for God's sake don't encourage her!"

*sigh*

Curious question: does anyone know if Elementary has a 'Christmas Episode'?

gah, customer disservice

I am on the phone to two call centres about the same matter at the same time. One is apparently the delivery centre, the other is the company from which I ordered the item.

Both have had me on hold for the last 10 minutes. The company has already hung up on me once.

What's the bet they both pick up at the same time? And then whichever one I talk to ends up having to direct me to the other where I have to wait another half-hour to hear a human voice rather than muzak or a recorded message?
