Collaborating with Dickens. And Shakespeare ... and Poe ...

. . . And a bunch of other authors whose names were too long for the title. And a couple more that I can't spell.


No, that's not what it's actually called . . . that's just what I saved the link as in my browser folder.

As the title suggests, though, it's a demo whereby you type, and as you go along the celebrated deceased persons edit your work. The hilarity that ensues is pretty magnificent. Go and try it out! It makes a wonderful pick-me-up.

Speaking as someone who has not slept well for nearly a week, is heading into the deep and dark recesses of Revision, and is currently attempting to get through life with a semi-dislocated jaw, I like to think I'm allowed to have some meaningful input on the matter of Things That Cheer People Up.

That aside, I think I shall take the opportunity to make all of you lovely people aware that, at long last, it is coming toward the holidays again - though, due to revision for my Very Important Exams (the last set I will ever sit, this being my last year of school and all that) my activity might be slightly sporadic. 

On the other hand, I've had the most amazing idea-dump ever recently, so hopefully there will be plenty more useful and vaguely entertaining posts to come along with it. As ever, though, feel free to leave me a comment suggesting something you'd like to see in particular!

Have a good weekend, my friends.  If you need me, I'll be working out how to orchestrate an alternative to chewing.
