We've sort of met, now, haven't we? Thank you :).

Congratulations to Dr the_wild_iris!

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Kat :)

Oh, that's wonderful news! I was thinking only last week that it seemed to have been a while. Many congratulations to her!

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

And thank you to you, A., for passing on the news...

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Thank you :). It has been a while (is deeply ashamed of lack of communication).

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

No, not at all! I'm just glad that it's worked out ok. I'm really, really pleased for you.

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Thank you :). For the sake of honesty, I should say that I'm more like Dr-subject-to-completing-corrections the_wild_iris, but barring unforeseen circumstances I should be able to take care of the bit in the hyphens.

Corrections? Pshaw! Easy peasy. Many congratulations to you, from both of us. i_smell_shite has now taken to referring to you as the Doctor of Poems.

How did the viva go?

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Thank you both :).

The viva wasn't too bad, actually. I was terrified beforehand, but it was more gentle than I'd imagined.

Yippee! Well done!

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

Thank you, Maia :)

Is that an Aldington icon?

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's a page from one of the censored editions of Death of a Hero :)

I only just realised that you brought Simon out for me. Thank you!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Who else could it be? :-)

[hafren.livejournal.com]

Oh, well done indeed!

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Hey, great! So it's official now?

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Nearly official - I need to hand in a corrected version of my thesis before the degree can be awarded, but provided that's done, there's no problem.

Congratulations on a job well done. You have proved that there really is an end to homework.

On checking Wild Iris' LJ I find that she is a drabbler. The Drabbling Doctor? Dr. Drabbles? Drabble Doc?

OK sorry, I couldn't resist.

The Drabbling Doctor? Dr. Drabbles? Drabble Doc?

Oh, I really need to make an icon of that.

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Cold caller: "Is that Miss, Mrs or Ms?"

Me: "Actually, it's... The Drabbling Doctor."

[mikekellner.livejournal.com]

I love the icon.

Have you reduced your thesis to exactly 100 words?

Hmmm, ya know... That would save everyone a lot of work and time, and force people to distill their ideas to the point of crystal clarity.

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

I love the icon.

Thank you! I should pay you royalties, or something.

Have you reduced your thesis to exactly 100 words?

Not yet, but I could delete 79,900 words at random and it'd probably make about as much sense :)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I love it!

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Thank you :). I'm rather fond of it myself.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Belated congratulations, Drabbling Doctor!

[the-wild-iris.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Kalypso :)
