It amuses me that anyone even vaguely involved with/aware of the nature of English sporting 'prowess' (and I use that term advisedly loosely) should be surprised at our national team's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. ;)


Meanwhile, in other news:

Dear fic writer, well known in fandom and now writing under another name (but not really making that consistent an effort to hide your previous BNF status elsewhere), writing a much-awaited sequel to a well-received first story, it disheartens me to discover that you apparently take less trouble to ensure the correct spelling of supporting character's names than your average 14 year old posting on the Pit of Voles.

That is all.

If the author in question is the one I'm thinking it is, well, that's not the first time it's happened.

I'm not sure we're even thinking of the same fandom - this is HP slash.

Yes... I'm thinking of an HP author who used to be a BNF in another fandom but is now writing under another name.

It probably is the same one then. Her apparent inability to spell 'Poppy' correctly vexes me greatly!
