What is this fascination?

Really.

Why, pray tell, do authors subject us poor, defenseless readers to excruciating detail when it comes to mundanity? Do I really need a blow-by-blow description of how Character X takes a shower/bath? How Studmuffin washes his hair twice, right like it says to on the label? Uses soap (of all things) with a specific scent? When it could have been handled with: A distracted Studmuffin returned to his rooms and took a shower, his thoughts never once ceasing to run around in circles.

No! We get as many as four or five paragraphs... for a bloody shower!

You know... unless there's well done wanking involved, or sex, why should anyone be subjected to this inane drivel?

Oh, wait! I know! It's because the author... is boring?

Okay, I will make an exception here. The obligatory long bath after being released/escaping from Azkaban. Nimby and I can live with that one.

	giggles True! Hey, I have a question for you. Just before your muse fled for parts unknown with the stuff for Control Issues, Aftermath, the narration says that Harry had something he needed to take care of. It's right before he gives Rita and Luna the interview. Do you remember what that was? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I've been thinking about this, and I checked the file and the chapter, and I only see one possible thing. If it is what's sitting there in my notes, it's nothing spectacular. Just someone who needs his just rewards... if I ever decide what those rewards might be. (Reply to this) (Parent)
