FIC: Accept No Substitute (complete)

Title: Accept No Substitute
Author: Zhie
Characters: (in order of appearance, nearly) Celebrian, Elrond, Orophin, Elladan, Elrohir, Glorfindel, Erestor, Lindir, Rumil, and Haldir
Summary: Haldir returns to Lothlorien after teaching for a time in Rivendell. When Orophin steps in to teach his class temporarily... well, the outcome is just not good. But.. it is amusing!
Rating: PG13 for slash situations and slightly horny Glorfindel hitting on clueless Erestor
Archive: Pounce! http://pounce.dreamelf.com
Author Notes: This was started on July 24, 2005. Finished June 22, 2007. For anyone who was waiting two years ago for that ‘chapter I’ll get out next week’... well... I suppose it is a very good thing I do not teach math, either! Part of the PPB-AU; mostly stands alone as long as you just accept the Lorien brothers are Celebrian’s siblings; not much else needed beyond that.

School Randomness

I'm reading CNN today, and of course, the video entitled '5 year old's hug violates no touch policy' stands out from the list.

So, let me just get this straight.

We don't want our children going into schools to shoot each other, but we don't want them to hug anyone either.

I got a solution for that. Let's just stop procreating as a whole and invest time and money into robot children who are perfectly programmed for such things.

I swear, if we do have any kids, I'm just going to convince Mark he has to homeschool them. I mean, how many homeschool shooting rampages do you hear about (actually, have there been many religious school rampages reported? I should check into that).

I understand that schools are trying to protect against child abuse, but then, here's an idea: screen yer teachers to make sure you aren't hiring pervs! When I got my sub license, geez, I was poked and prodded and asked some of the dumbest questions and investigated all over the place before they let me go teach -- and I was 20 and had come from that system at the time! They still had my HS transcripts, with the ink probably not even dry! Yes, it's not going to be a perfect system, but sheesh, if having your kid run over and hug someone is your grand concern, then there is an awful lot in the world your child is so totally not going to be prepared for.

And now... the Friday Five!

Sweeeeeeeet

I just loaded my 100th fic to lotrfanfiction.com (oi, only 100+ more to get reformatted and put up there), and it also happened to end up being the site's 3,100th fanfic.

This means, 1/31 of all of the fics on that site are mine.

Only 35 more and I'll take the lead heh heh heh

If only I didn't hate reformatting...

Oh, and the baby in the apartment downstairs is unhappy. REALLY, really unhappy. Thinking it is time to go... somewhere not here for the next couple hours.
