Very happy to have discovered Fan Fiction, though I have to admit, my newspaper reading on the bus and metro to and from work has dropped off a lot, so I'm out of touch with current events. :( But I'm loving all the terrific, amazingly well-written stories here.

I really admire all the thoughtfulness and creativity that goes into these stories; just the thought of putting down my own active imagination on paper has my palms sweating, thinking back to English Comp and Creative Writing classes in high school and college. The pressure to write on command took any pleasure for writing right out of me. So I doubly appreciate the amount of work put in to deliver the abundance of riches I get from you all. :)

One request for any writers reading my profile--if you go more than 1-2 days between updates, PLEASE write a short recap at the top of your latest chapters! It's easy to lose track of the story after a few days, and can be a headache to have to go back to reread the previous chapter when using my phone. Many thanks!
