Well, I've been sick and had a series of minor crises in the past two weeks (sickness, a forest fire burning awfully close to home, mice in the house), plus I've been following the swine flu news. I think that's probably the influence you're seeing here. You don't need to worry, really. (Though when you see the small angsty one-shot I'm posting tomorrow, you might be worried again).

Thanks! The Beltane fest is anonymous, so it'll be a bit before I can post the fics here, but I'm proud of both of them.

And thank you! I'd be basing the Quidditch matches on football (English football), not polo.
