I kept trying with the two Merlin ficlets but they are simply not working... so I put them aside and picked another prompt to do something quick and messy, about 400 words but it came much easier. So I'll revise it tomorrow and try for another. Plus I went and did a couple of the exercises in my course.

Not in all a lot (and I am a bit miffed at the ones I couldn't get to work but eh, if three goes don't do it, it's probably not gonna be done. Oh, and I counted up, the failed attepmpts were something like 850 in all... ouch)
