The reason I dismissed number 4 was that there wasn't a lot to judge it on. No stitching, no detail, etc.

The number of Irish flags flapping on lamp posts in town centres is a sure sign that we're tipping closer to serious xenophobic bullshit.

The Irish government needs to stop hoarding the wealth (20+% of TDs are landlords, almost all of them are governing right now), and remember this country's socialist roots before it is too late.

I do not agree with their protest methods.

But.

People living hand to mouth with rising costs are gonna react negatively when they reach their limit, and the vulnerable are gonna be targetted.

This is always the reason fascism gets a foothold.

And to think we were all astonished the first time we saw photos of those Nazis joking around on their break at the camps.

This is literally that crap all over again.
Some humans are animals.

Ireland had a day a few years ago when accidentally, the only legal marriages acknowledged by law were same-sex marriages.

We record all our laws in Irish and English, and in the Irish version of the law, someone had made a gramatical error.

Is it mendable?
Sometimes a little careful stitching can solve a multitude of issues.

I spotted a Stargate fic one the other day, too.
I read the whole thing thinking the characters were talking to someone called Y/N, pronounced "yin". 🙄

Funny how Neil completely overshoots his mark at the beginning, and Bill fixes the problem immediately. Good team. ❤️

I'd just end up sobbing about how much of an influence Carter was in me growing up in a country with very few female role models, and I'm sure she hears that story at least seventeen times a week already.

🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Is it ever, really 'done', though...?

Most Expensive: Coat 3 (thick fabric, nice buttonholes, actual pockets)

Least Expensive: Coat 1. (fake pockets. I don't trust it.)

Best Value? No idea. 2, I'd guess, since it seems like it's also got good pockets and a turned up sleeve, and that speaks to some care with detail.

I think this is the right approach.

Unless a celebrity has literally hung out their shingle at an event, I try to leave them be.

Plus, the man has ADHD or something. You've no idea how much your "excuse me for a second..." might derail his last, valient attempt to recall his grocery list.

OMG, Lori. Are any of them available to buy?
I am mad curious.

That's very kind of you to say.

Adding to my own defence: I was also learning HOW I write a novel.

Everyone, I believe, has their own technique for approaching such a big project & to figure mine out, I had to noodle around for a few years writing fic and thinking really, really hard about stuff.
