LOL! Yep! I started out writing them with women before I realised they belonged together. I'm always debating taking them down as they were written after a twenty year period in which I wrote nothing fictional and they are pretty bad (and only at my ffnet account).

*hugs* You are very kind to me. I'm a needy, overly-critical writer and I have a lot of difficulty being happy with anything I churn out. Having someone whose talent I wish I could steal for myself admire say something so lovely makes my day! Thank you.

I think I've been resisting getting started on the fic because I know how it'll affect me, and I've been hoping to find some happier inspiration in the lyrics I chose. The longer idea for the rs_games is the lighter one and I think I will go with that (even though I swore I wouldn't write an epic this time)... although there were a few prompts I loved at the career fest that I don't think were claimed. :)

I hope the career_fest is going to be an annual event. It was such great fun and you guys did a marvellous job modding it. dogsunderfoot and I are still tossing around that rs_ldws idea. We've both secretly been wanting to mod something together, and when I tentatively mentioned it, I could almost hear the squeeing from across the ocean! We're getting a bit excited at the thought of putting out feelers about it.

Thanks for listening (reading) my angsting, hon. Your advice, and the chance to talk it out a bit, helped enormously.

*squishes you*
