In the end, I scrolled through the ebay listings, found a seller based in Melbourne and made arrangements for quick postage of the book. It was paid for this morning, posted this afternoon and I hope to get it in Monday's post. Mind you, knowing first hand what Australia Post can be like, I won't panic unless it hasn't turned up by Wednesday. Regardless, the seller will be getting a fully positive rating from me, because of his fast response to my questions, and his quick action after I purchased the book.
I will also be having a little chat with my nephew, and advising him not to wait until two weeks before the due date of an assignment before telling us he can't find a copy of the book he needs to read.
Again, thank you all very, very much, and I promise to get cracking on typing up more of "Different Shades of Darkness", as promised.

I am willing to pay for the book and for express postage, or to ensure the return of the book if just for a loan. Is there anyone out there who can help, either with a hard copy of the book or a digital copy? I will love you forever if you can help, and I promise, absolutely promise to get myself in gear and get more of "Different Shades of Darkness" posted promptly.
(Actually, I will anyway, but any help will be hugely appreciative.)
Please let me know if you can help?

morgandawn at Seems I Am Not The Only One..........who feels the need to take a break from an increasingly dysfunctional relationship.
Original image and campaign source: reddit.
Edited to add my own thoughts (not part of the original reddit call for action): And if you do not feel like taking a total break and perhaps want just a trial separation or couple's counseling, then perhaps consider Black March Lite 2.0 = spend, but spend money on those content creators and independent retailers who came out against SOPA/PIPA. And tell them why you're buying their products in March. There are many of them.
And for those who favor the more targeted boycott, you can find info here. But no matter which, you can participate and you can tailor your level of participation. We have the tools, the will and the strength to take a stand.

Black March - Thursday March 1st 2012 to Saturday March 31st 2012
With the continuing campaigns for internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and the closure of sites like Megaupload under allegations of 'piracy' and 'conspiracy' the time has come to take a stand against music, film, and media companies' lobbyists.
The only way is to hit them where it hurts.
Their profit margins.
March 2012 is the end of the First Quarter in economic reports world wide.
Do not buy a single record. Do not download a single song, legally or illegally. Do not go to see a single film in cinemas, or download a copy. Do not buy a DVD in the stores. Do not buy a videogame. Do not buy a single book or magazine.
Wait the four weeks to buy them in April: see a film later, etc... Holding out for just four weeks, maximum, will leave a gaping hole in media companies profits for the first quarter, an economic hit which will in turn be observed by governments world wide as stocks and shares will blip from a large enough loss of incomes. This action will give a statement of intent:
"We will not tolerate the Media Industries' lobbying for legislation that will censor the internet."

Chapter One: Unexpected Happenings
Author: blucougar57
Summary: In the wake of his untimely death, Ianto Jones accepts a deal that will change his life forever.
Rating: Strong T, for now.
Warnings: Spoilers for The Series That Never Was (AKA, Children of Earth).
X-over: Torchwood/Doctor Who/Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter books.
A/N: This is a sneak peak at the story I began writing whilst in Cardiff, in November. I was waiting for the plot bunnies to bite, and bite they did. I believe I wrote (hand-wrote, in actual paper notebooks) approximately 10,000 words in the space of three or four days. My hand and wrist hurt. A lot.
Firstly, this is my own CoE fix-it fic, and is very strictly Janto. It will be dark, though with plenty of lighter moments peppered throughout, and it will not be Gwen-friendly. I don’t intend to resort to borderline crack character bashing, but she will be portrayed in this story as I see her being portrayed in the show – as self-centred and complete blinkered to anything beyond her own wants and needs. I have never forgiven her for escaping the events of CoE unscathed, and then having the gall to expect Jack to carry on at her side like nothing had happened.
You have been warned. If you don’t like Gwen being treated in a way that reflects her rather self-involved behaviour on the show, then this story is not for you.
Secondly, this story brings Torchwood - or rather, the characters - together with the marvellous characters created by Sherrilyn Kenyon for her Dark Hunter books. I don't own them, but I hope she won't mind me borrowing them for a while. I have no money or assets, and this is purely for pleasure and not any sort of financial gain.
If you haven't read any of the Dark Hunter books, I wholeheartedly recommend you go out and by one right now, and immerse yourself thoroughly. A personal favourite is Night Play, but Acheron is good as well.
Again, this is a sneak peek. The next thing I post will be the next chapter of Futurus Redemptor.

I will probably get roasted for this, but the scene in The Muppet Christmas Carol, where Scrooge is shown the Cratchett household and it ends with a close-up of Tiny Tim's chair and crutch? Reduces me to tears EVERY time. In my defence, though, the music has much to do with it.
That, and when the dog is killed by the collapsing snow fort in the movie The Snowball War. And yes, I cried when Mufasa died in The Lion King.
