Last night in a rant about how to write fanfic that doesn't suck, I went on to extoll the virtues of Strunk & White's The Elements of Style. Immediately afterwards I noticed that my own copy has mysteriously disappeared right off of my desk. I can't find it anywhere, and I feel like I've lost my blankie. How am I supposed to double check myself to make sure I'm doing it correctly? Oh, sure, I've still got my Brief English Handbook left over from my freshman comp class, but it's just not the same. There is something very comforting about S&W's little style manual. I fear I won't rest easy until it turns up. Meanwhile, I suppose I can make do with the rules of grammar according to Sars.
