Reminder | Egregious self-promotion

[lilliburlero.livejournal.com]

Just a quick reminder that the first readthrough post, on Chapters 1-5 of Autumn Term, will be going up on Friday. Looking forward to the discussion, and delighted that so many of you expressed an interest.

In the meantime, have some egregious self-promotion. My excuse is that I did actually solicit the comm's ideas for a post-canon Merrick Twelfth Night party, which occurs in Chapter 3 of this fic.  Most of them made it into the finished product.  My apologies to katlinel for not managing to work Miranda in, nor, I see, on returning to the comment thread, writing a compensatory offcut (she does get a mention in Nicola's romantic reverie?)  I think everyone else was catered for to an extent. Doris, for some reason, refused more than the most minor role in the party scene, but does get her own POV reflection.
