Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I have my very own big broadsword! It is dull-bladed and not shiny and probably a little big for my height (but wouldn't hit the ground if I was walking) but it is gorgeous and yes, I did spend a busy few minutes posing in front of the mirror with it. Parcelline were nice enough to make a redelivery fifteen minutes ago, thus I heart them. Parcelline boys are always very nice anyway. (saw them every couple of days at Jessops) But my sword! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

It is now under the bed, wrapped up again. And it is mine! Mine! Mine! Okay, yes, it says Excalibur on the hilt, but it was one of the few that was actually plain and sensible enough to suit me. I refuse to carry anything curved or ninja-like, unless it was for period use.

And on further notes on ellaminnow's Kings' Own fic. Apart from me loving the hell out of it, am pondering who the blond captain is in the surgeon's tent, also of the 74th. Am suspecting it is Viggo. Or possibly David. And wondering whether Bean will turn up as Bean or Sharpe...

Ellaminnow is apparently... not registered on LJ curses, so now this King's Own fic is bugging me :g: How could I resist anything in connection with the magic words Viggo, David and Bean?

Could you tell me where I could find this fic? Is it available? ::bats eyelashes::

I am, I admit, a total self promotion h0r.

But a self promotion h0r with a [website (http://ellaminnow.dombillijah.com/)], wherein all fics (including KO) are conveniently located.

Self promotion is good :g: Thanks for the links.

Heh. It is shiny, to quote Firefly...

Hrrm. And if it is indeed shiny, maybe I should call it Vera?

Re: ETA

Hee! Yes, you have to call it Vera. It would be only right and proper. And it would be an easy way to spot fellow FF geeks when you introduce your broadsword.

...which made sense in my head, anyway

You have no idea the huge lift scrolling through my flist and suddenly stumbling over a reference to KO has given me. Am very much of the squee now.
