I think the building got teleported to under a waterfall when I wasn't looking. The joy of skylights is that rain sounds really, really loud, especially when it's coming down really, really heavily. I don't think I'm leaving the building today without a canoe and a wetsuit.

*clings to life-belt*

Did anyone spot me?

The results of Last Fic Writer Standing Round 2 have just come out and...

( *drum roll* )

Anyway, now that all is revealed, I can cross post it here :)

Title:In Plain Sight
Words: 500 exactly
Rating/Spoilers: G/none
Notes: The challenge was to write a team H/C fic from an OC's point of view. Word limit was 300-500 words. Trust me, folks, this was hard.
Huge, huge thanks to unfeathered and rustydog for swift beta-services.

Summary: Malir wasn't easily impressed.

Out of interest, did anyone know it was me? Apart from Rusty, I mean ;)

You are going to want to hear this

Seriously. If you write. If you like maths. If you knit.

Marcus du Sautoy and Mark Haddon discuss writing, music, maths, science, literature, death and knitting. This is currently a link to the events page. Scroll down for the audio/webcast.

apiphile. Seriously. I think they got together just for you.

If you've never heard of either of them, Marcus du Sautoy is an Oxford maths professor with an extraordinary ability to make complicated science understandable. Mark Haddon is best known for writing The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. They are both knowledgeable, entertaining, and wonderful communicators. If you don't get the maths, listen to a brilliant author talking about his writing. If you don't write, listen to a brilliant scientist explaining how he does what he does. And if you knit, make sure you listen to the questions at the end...

I can't remember the last time I just sat and *listened* to something - normally I'm doing other things at the same time. But this is worth the hour. Just...click the link, okay?
