Keep trying?  Good luck.

Congratulations! Now keep going! 

Excellently done!

Thanks all!  It was an interesting experience

Writer’s block?

Nah.  A non "review" of my NaNoWriMo project.  One of those times where it's just...  Arrgh.

I actually spotted Remembrance earlier today, and I’ll try and get a review in tonight.

Good to know you’re feeling a little better, and always happy to help however I can.

It's getting there.  And thanks, InBrightestDay.  It's what I like about AFF, the community supports one another.  .  Been posting, so there's something good.  .

I hope ya keep improving.

Shit, I know how that sucks. All I can say is I hope it gets better.

I know what that feels like.  If you need to talk, I’m more than happy to listen, and if not, I hope you feel better.

Joining the Hugs Brigade too.

Thanks again.  @JayDee...  Last time had some antidepressants involved...  But...  Hopefully it goes in a bit.

@InBrightestDay...  Thanks.  It's appreciated to have the option.  And thanks (to all).

Reviews are always sneaky.

That they are.  They're like a myth told in dark alleyways and hushed whispers...  Oh, sorry, wrong story. 

It is much deserved. Well written and lovely.

Thank you so much, InvidiaRed!

I’m beginning to think you and winter just don’t get along. Jesus Christ, stop almost dying dude. 

@JayDee: Yeah.  Didn't like the slow motion as the nose went for the concrete...  Worst part: snow pile to the left, to the right...  but I managed to get the one section with clear concrete…

@CloverReef: Probably should...  I'm running out of angels...  I'm pretty sure they're just drafting them now...  Maybe I should stop wintering...  I hear California is nice this time of year...  lol.

There’s definitely support group up there. I owe them some serious drinks.

I mean three years ago just bought a car didn’t even make it home cause a roadside assistance truck California stopped a stop sign and smashed the driver's side totaling it(In hindsight, I should have sued. But hindsight has always been 20/20)

I know mine was wearing black and yellow pajamas cause I was the only one who saw her. Or maybe it was the trauma from kissing the steering wheel. One of the two. Haha.

The Midwest quite beautiful this time of year. Snowbird syndrome is pretty common here. @Tcr rest assured your angels aren’t the only ones in need of therapy. 

Putting yourself out there is usually nerve wracking. Kudos.

Thanks, CR!  .

Also good to push through the nerves.

Do it up.

I’m sure you did very well, but yay to less stress! 

I have absolute confidence in you

If you passed, that’d be wonderful! If you failed, we can blast Another Brick in The Wall and bitch until you feel better. Now get yo write on, boiiii! 

Whippings!!

You have to recite the last page of the last book you read backwards to bleed off the bad luck.

I like how @Sinfulwolf immediately goes to whips...  lol.

Well, aside from DP, who I'll read when not at work (I think that might be pushing it...  lol), reviewed.  .

YAY!

We understand. Pwn the hell out of that there edumacation! I’m proud of you

Take care of yerself! Get life solid, then come back to us!

I’m glad you’re finally getting a chance to get settled in before you show university who’s boss

Get that halloween story out of the way before the term starts!

That was quite a bit of time. Hopefully the disaster is all past.

Best of luck in your move. I’ll be reading in your absence… and hopefully writing as well.

It sounds like this is a move for the better, so congratulations! Nothing is worse than working at a job you don’t like.

Yeah, go to school until you get really tired of it (that’s what I did).  Congrats on making the change in your life, hope it works out better for you (in the long run).

I hope this all works out well for you!

@CloverReef The happiest of birthdays to you!   

@CloverReef  Happy Birthday!  

Thanks guys! It was nice of Pride to throw the parade on my birthday so I spent the day in the big city! And I’m totally getting mcdonalds because junk food magically becomes healthy on birthdays. It’s a law of nature. 

I think more authors are becoming open to fan fiction. However, there is still a huge stigma dating back to the Marion Zimmer Bradley legal issue (which remains unclear to this day, IMO). Many authors won’t read any fan fiction of their work because they are afraid if anything they write resembles that fan fiction, they will be sued. It’s tainted the relationship between fan fiction writers and authors for some time.

Now, this is a humble opinion of a delusional madman here...  But if I was published and I saw some fanfic of it on here (he'll, if someone contacted me and was like "I want to write in the universe of Blood Prize" I'd be feeling pretty complimented and flattered by it.  Admittedly, I'm kind of weird that way, so…

But I do understand the approach and thoughts behind it of staying away, too.  Nowadays, it seems like people will sue over every little thing (Not to say it does happen, but with news and stuff, it has that stigma)...  And no author (I hope) wants to be accused of plagiarizing, even without that knowledge.  It does wonders for a career if that happens, I hear.

I used to looove Marion Zimmer Bradley. Now I gotta google it. 

::crosses everything::

I’d have replied sooner, but I was too involved in base building myself…..

I feel ya.  My schedule has been all over the place for the last damn year.  It’s horrible.

The dreaded ‘H’ word, happens to the best of us. I hope you get back on it soon!

Would you like some toast?  Or, are you more of a muffin man?   (And if you recognize the source)

2016 was even slimmer, so this *is* an improvement.  I’m guessing that people are just a bit busier over the holidays, so they don’t have that much time to write/review.

Today is good, thanks for asking .

Yeah, it's probably just the holidays...  But I've absolutely no life, so...  lol.

I left work last Friday for the staycation, and likely won’t see another person until I get back to work next week.  So, yeah, its me and my cats for the holidays.  My family’s far enough away that makes it fiscally and logistically tough to visit (not to mention that recent oil boiler purchase didn’t help the budget).  Other people, though, likely resemble National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

Merry Christmas to you and your family from the lot of us here at the lair!

Merry Christmas, and a good year to come, Tcr!
