There really was no guarantee that world-altering madness would cease upon the departure of the fate sisters, was there? In fact, perhaps leaving a seat of power open like that can entice other high powers and potent forces to come and see what they can do.

Despite that, it doesn't mean I'm going to ever grow fond of, let alone become used to being battered around by these things. Forces, circumstances, fates, fey...whatever you wish to categorize them as -- I'll just bucket them all in "Things with Greater Influence in the World(s) at Large than Most Mortals." Perhaps that label will satisfy most were I to use it? Not all, naturally.

In any case, who shall begin the mass-accounting of things amiss or askew THIS time around? In a neat list for easy perusal, I'd prefer.

Miss Manners is an advice columnist. She deals with problems such as "my husband eats his eggs in a bizarre fashion" and "would it be wrong to ask out someone who is already engaged?"

I'm sure she would have something to say about Mr. Darin's... renovation project.

Fuu, I would be genuinely AMAZED were anyone to have a feasible response to "My housemate sometimes gets ideas to alter aspects of our shared living space to the point that lives are at risk -- what should we do to mitigate that in the future?"

I suppose it is a few levels up from "my housemate won't wash the dishes after they use them" but I'm sure she would make a spirited effort at the response.

Anyway, given some of the letters she does get, I'm not sure it would even be the most outlandish.

I'll research it a bit then, shall I? Or is this more an entertainment thing rather than something of potential value?

I've found that it can be useful for both. Her readership does seem to have one or two normal, everyday problems.
