Radio station this morning discussing library fines because of a kid who racked up 160 bucks worth... I listened to the show while driving and tried calling on the cel phone, but it wouldn't connect. However, I called at work and just let it ring... was about to hang up, and, lo and behold, it was answered. And it was too cute how they were calling me Mrs. Librarian (never asked my name, but, that's ok, I liked this better) on the air and saying how much they loved the library ^_^ I babbled only slightly on the history of library fines, but then answered the questions they asked and generally filled them in on the details and inner workings... oh no, the library secrets have gone public! lol Anyhow... that was my happy morning.. and now, a quick meme stolen from... erm... oh! Hee hee, the name is at the top, duh... swiped from ep_kitty...
Top Ten Signs you're reading a (lotr) Fic By Zhie...
10. If there is a king involved, he always gets his way.
9. There is a goat or a reference to one.
8. The symbol of the House of the Golden Flower is the sun. The sun, with rays stretched out like a flower, but not a real flower. Not a yellow rose, or a sunflower, or a daffodil, or any other flower that is yellow. Just the sun. Anor. Period.
7. Every single reference to a library is one-hundred percent accurate, down to where ink smudges on Erestor's hands.
6. There is a better than average chance that it will take over a year to complete if it is more than two chapters or parts.
5. You might not be able to find it archived anywhere.
4. Silliness is involved in some way, shape or form.
3. Erestor is never only just a librarian, scribe or counselor... he's also a farmer or warrior or poet or actor or judge or tourguide or goat herder.
2. Glorfindel nearly always tells Erestor he loves him (often repeatedly) before the reverse happens.
And the number one sign you're reading a fic by Zhie:
1. Pink Flamingos and Purple Bunnies. Nuff said.
