Okay, that was definitely a watch-from-behind-a-cushion one. (Behind the sofa doesn't work for me; it's uncomfortable, and that is not conductive to feeling secure.)
scary, scary spoilers )

Two memes

Memed from [livejournal.com profile] john_elliott and [livejournal.com profile] lost_spook:

First meme:

Give me one fandom I write/rec/read AND a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc) or another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain the gist of the story I would write for that AU.

Second meme:

Give me a pairing and I will tell you:

1. What they most commonly do during sex
2. Who has prettier hair
3. What they argue about most often
4. Who'd cope best if the other one died
5. The happiest plausible happily-ever-after I can think of for them.

(Note: I am almost certainly going to completely ignore question 1.)

While sorting through my junk the other day, I found a box containing two books, which is an enigma I'd completely forgotten about.

The books are WARHAMMER 40,000 books. They were sent to me by Games Workshop. That's not the odd part.

I did not order them, nor have I been charged for them. The accompanying order slip was blank. That was a bit odd.

There was no accompanying note saying something like "Dear Customer, To show how much we value you, here's a free gift!", as when the SF&F Book Club used to send me free books I didn't want, in the hope that this would inspire me to order stuff in self-defence. That increased the oddness quite a bit.

The really odd part is this: I'm not a customer. I don't read or play WARHAMMER -- Fantasy or 40K. I have never expressed any interest in doing so that I recall[1], and have never knowingly entered into any transaction with Games Workshop. I have no idea how they could have even got my address!

It's quite perplexing.

[1]I've not even read The Vampire Genevieve, despite being a fan of her alternate universe counterparts.
