I just found the original dedication I wrote when I first started Blood, Sweat and Tears:
"Also thank you to my Population Genetics lecturer, who was so direly boring that I was motivated to start this on my lecture handouts, as well as inspiring me to calculate Elladan and Elrohir's inbreeding coefficient (which is approximately 0.005 if you believe in Elmo, about the equivalent of being offspring of second cousins once removed. But I'm sure you didn't want to know that.)"
I think this may be wrong...depends whether I factored in Celeborn's possible relation to Nimloth. Next time I'm sufficiently bored, I'll recalculate.
In other news, my watchstrap has finally broken. This doesn't surprise me, as it's been steadily expiring over the last 4 months. Luckily, the watch is so cheap it will be easier to buy a new watch than a new strap for it.
I really should stop posting now, shouldn't I? Sorry. *obediently stops*

(Hmm, at some point must actually get around to writing more of Last Flight and other various plotbunnies. )
