two quick things this am:

1. Those of you in SoCal - remember that we're coming there in 3 weeks...
I'm nervous about the fires. Do they think they'll be totally out by mid-November?

2. If you're going to send emails to the fa help desk complaining about a plagiarised story (someone took someone else's fic word for word from ffn and didn't even change the title) please take a moment to see if the fic is still on the site. If we pulled it 36 hours before, all you'll do is irk the belagured admins.

Off to the bookfair, to try and convince people to pay $30 for ootp because they get a cool hat with it.
