uh oh

One of the good things about becoming interested in an RPF fandom or two is that there's the potential for endless canon. It helps offset my tendency to devour the entirety of a fandom (canon and fanfic) in about two weeks and then get bored.

One of the bad things is that you find yourself thinking, "Huh, maybe I should get a Twitter account after all."

*headdesk*

I promise I will never use it for evil (e.g., posting about what I had for lunch). I'll probably never post anything at all. But for a long time I've vaguely wanted to follow Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and yesterday I learned that Richard Fidler (formerly of DAAS) has a Twitter; that was the tipping point.

Unfortunately, there'll probably be ice skating in hell (on the road paved with frozen lawyers, natch¹) before Paul McDermott gets a Twitter. But I can hope.


¹Good Omens. If you haven't read it, you're missing out.

more Australia-related questions

The fic I'm working on has generated a couple more Australia-related questions that google isn't answering:

1) What's a common kind of tree that someone might have in their garden, in the Melbourne area?

2) Is there an endearment that a middle-class man in his early thirties might use to address his wife? He's speaking in an offhand way--thanking her for something minor--rather than in a romantic or highly emotional context. If he were an American he'd say "Thanks, honey," but I don't know if there's an Australian equivalent.


Many thanks and geographically appropriate endearments to anyone who can help!
