When I was thirteen, I began writing fanfiction. My favorites then were Gundam Wing and Black Jewels Trilogy. My friend and I dodged chores, shunted schoolwork and had fabulous sleepovers that consisted almost entirely of writing. Now, nearly twenty years later, we still do those things - except schoolwork has degraded to plain 'work'. Hopefully, the writing has improved with age.

My husband and I had a lovely wedding this past month, and honeymoon, and are gearing up for that friend's own wedding in a month. Amid all this craziness, the urge is still there to put words to page, to give life to an idea. I thank you all for your continued (if strained) patience, as life steers the wheel, and a few chapters make it out to be viewed. Your words of encouragement are always such a boon and inspiration.
