Antiquity ownership

Lying in bed this morning attempting to get some use out of the Web’n’Walk function on my phone before the cancellation date occurs next month, since I forgot to cancel the service earlier, I came across this article via one of the RSS feeds I subscribe to: Egyptians in Egyptology Al-Ahram Online (Issue 876)
It’s a review of the sort of book I might peruse in passing but does highlight that same issue that keeps reinventing itself again and again. Not just with Egyptian antiquities but with plenty of others. The Elgin Marbles being one of the most publicised cases: Acropolis now Guardian Unlimited

Three Trinity Blood fics & a silly reinc drabble

Geppetto involving dolls and character death is finally done. Somehow I think I ran out of steam while writing the first part but since I’ve been meaning to finish it for a while it’ll just have to do. It’s one of those snap-shot AU pieces anyway.

Delilah likewise is finished and was actually quite enjoyable to write. And other than the less than serious Suzanne/Helga pieces or that one Astaroth/Esther drabble; might actually be my first real piece of Trinity Blood shojo-ai. It also earns a new demotivational poster which probably belongs in a series with Rhetoric, Classical Realism, Kantianism and International Relations.

Necessity and the as yet to be written Invention may be a two-part piece at least which will be a more serious take on a background for Süleyman. Though the other rather more comedic one won’t be entirely left to flounder, if only because Radu’s grandfather Mircea really does need some screen time.

Other than that, after I’ve edited an original piece for Yule unless I suddenly have the urge to make further progress with either of my two logistical exercises; I suspect that I’m done for the year.


And to end with; a silly reinc drabble prompted by nekonexus.

Original fiction: Festivals

G. 2479 words. Following on from Inexplicable, Remembering, Reminiscence, Memory, Eternal, Cycles, Demonology, Argot, Analogy and Meanderings.
The seasons turn and sometimes nothing changes at all. Future plans are always the product of the past.

Thus for the coming end of Saturnalia and tomorrow's Solstice; Merry Winterish and fine mince pies to all. And maybe next time there’ll actually be a fully constructed site that I’ll post this to as well.
