I tend not be as prolific with longhand on paper.  Heck, might not even write like I do if I had to suffer.  Paper, though, is okay at work when I need to quickly jot an idea down (and don’t, for obvious reasons, want to use my work computer).
Well, welcome back from that doctor induced panic disorder
 

That Outline:
So KYBCLM are out in the snow. All semi naked and shit. There were more of them originally, but giggles cause avalanches. They toss a few snowballs and talk about the innate sexiness of frostbitten labia. Or whatever the point of the specific fetish is. Is that right? A solid six or seven minutes in which their skin begins to take on lovely blue tones. Wind chill’s minus 30 or so. Numbness begins to spread. They stumble inside and get hit with pins and needles as nerve endings start getting blood supply in surrounding tissue. Groans, moans, squeals. The odd detaching extremity. Then, play time.
Out comes the Trivial Persuit. Kim wins because she’s like the best.

This is entirely unhelpful, but I was reminded of my college days when I was waiting tables in a bistro. We had a cat (in utter violation of the regs, but the rats were a bigger violation, and the cat kept those away) and she had a habit of wandering into the walk-in refrigerators. The headwaiter posted signs for us:
“Don’t lock the cat in the walk-in. Cold pussy doesn’t do anyone any good.”

And… I’m back home!
Two CT scans later, after a panic by the doctors where they thought I didn’t have appendicitis, but instead a much more serious inflammation ofthe main artery that supplies blood to my legs (scary), they’ve finally settled on a painful disease that isn’t life threatening (or at least, not yet). I’ve been knocked out with morphine and codeine and shoved full of antibiotics.
What a performance.
While I was there, I discovered why I never write longhand. I love my computer.
Thank you for all your well wishes, everyone. Most appreciated, even if I did have a load of trouble getting online whilst I was there.
Normal service shall now be resumed. After a good night’s kip. And a decent cup of coffee. And a couple of days rest, probably. And a shower to get this horrible hospital smell off of me.

You’ll be fine, you’ll see.  Also, I like the idea of cutting off the useless bits when we’re young.  There’d be more than a few people without a head in that case.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it is all alright for you. At least the greyhound’s come through her visit ok!

Add in the “me too” there, hope it turns out to be nothing to worry about.

Oh, my goodness! Let’s hope it’s nothing dreadfully serious, no surgery is involved, and we have you back feeling much better.  

The reviews are harsh, yes. They don’t quite cross the line into flaming, but in case ANON decides to peek in on this thread, I’d like to ask one thing as lead moderator:
ANON, you’re reading a fan fiction about game characters based on an anime. In other words, the story revolves around cartoon characters. Why on the good green Earth are you looking for sensibility? Can’t you just suspend belief and try to enjoy? If the answer is no, then let me point you to some other subdomains where you might encounter a larger dose of sensible reality… wait… oh! Perhaps the Non-fiction section of Originals. Aside from that, we’re all about the fiction here, sensible or otherwise. We’re also all about being adults, and the phrase, “Wow, what a retard” is hardly an adult way to begin a conversation. If you care to debate that point, PM me, Anon. I can do this talk all day long. I have a 22 year old and a 19 year old at home. Trust me, the topic is a hot one around here.
Hide_My_Sins, I strongly recommend setting your account to block anonymous reviews in future to avoid future visits from those who don’t have the courage of their convictions and won’t leave their pen name with a review.

Hello, Hide_My_Sins
As a moderator of the archive, when I saw this post I had to respond.
I’m so sorry that these reviews have been left for you. After reading your post, I did go to check them out, and see if I could identify the user at all.
I’m sure the lead moderator will have something to say too, but we take a very dim view of flame reviewers here. As long as a stories’ tags are correct, this archive is against censorship of any kind. That includes those who leave flame reviews, since often the aim of them is to stifle the free creativity of others.
If you want those reviews removing from your stories, we can help you with that. You can also turn off anonymous reviews in your preferences, which would force this person to log in, and therefore stop them from hiding behind anonymity.
Lastly, I hope that this experience won’t put you off, and that we’ll continue to see you making use of AFF and the archive for a long time to come. That’s what we are here for. We are all of us, together, a community, though we all write different things for lots of different reasons. When you joined us, you became part of that, and you are as important as any other member here. As I say if you need any help or guidance, just let us know.

Thank you. That’s nice to know.
But as I said, I won’t be working on my AFF stories for a long time. At the start of the new year, I will be working on 4 books. A sci-fi story, a fantasy, and two fiction books (one of them a sequel to my first book). I also have a script that I’m do for a special project I’ve joined.
My last post for the time will be for my Powerpuff collection, then I’ll only be on here to read. Just think of it as a LONG hiatus.
I might get back to working on them, if ever, but I’m going to be giving my unfinished works up for adoption.
So don’t worry, I’m not giving up writing at all. I’m just going to be working on what’s most important to me. 
Again, thank you.
And don’t worry about the review. I just want to leave some responds, as I wanted to make sure I responded to all reviews in the next chapter. This was only made because I plan on taking a hiatus.
 

Half of chapter 26 was me stalling on the deed.  (I didn’t want to, but had to.)  And then there’s today, when I realized that chapter 28 was the best spot to end the story.  Chapters 29-30 now form the starting point for a sequel, so some of the loose ends from Dale’s Game will be wrapped up there.  (Not certain when I’ll start posting that, because there’s the little issue of the halloween story.)
And, thank you for the review.  It’s nice to know when it’s being read/enjoyed, makes my day
 

Thank you for the review, hopefully you’ll enjoy the rest of the chapters when you read them.  I’ve enjoyed writing the characters too, most of the time, doesn’t really seem like I’m writing them, rather they’re experiencing their own lives.

Thank you! You are made of awesome – I’ve PM’d you

I’m always happy to read a chapter for you!

Thank you…
Oh… I kid you not, I didn’t know if I’d be able to do it. I’d known for a while I was going to try it, and I knew the reasoning, and the angle I was going to use, and I still though. Shit, no… the muse will kill me. But.. it happened. Poor bugger. But it fits! That’s the thing! When you think about Arya etc. It fits so well it has to be right. IMO anyway.. Poor sod.
If it means anything. He’s currently there right now in my libre office. Or just about to be, for real. *giggles*
 

Thank you
Honestly, I couldn’t rush these characters. If I tried, I’d completely lose them. She needs a lot of time, and he does too. Tormund, not so much, which is why he kind of took a back seat near the beginning of it all. He’s coming to the forefront more now, though. And especially as they begin in earnest. That surprise is on its way. I’m hoping it will appeal to Brienne’s romantic heart, and I think it will. She follows the seven, so she doesn’t need to take it so seriously, which will help. The getting there will be quite dramatic though.
Brienne’s fears… it seemed to me that she’d had the courage to do all these different things, talking about what came next would really be natural. And she demands to be taken seriously for them too. She not a girl, she’s a woman, and I think both Tormund and Clegane understand that quite well. They know she’s not silly. Having said that, I think they were both fairly alarmed too, and clueless, lol.

Thank you so much!
I honestly found that scene bloody horrible to watch. Brienne deserves so much better, and I was so glad when Jaime rescued her.   
I think at this point, anyone who threatens her would get a great deal of violence from the two of them. I can easily imagine her getting all pissed off at being interrupted though, lol.
Oh, I think she’d need to beat them down. She’s never going to lie back and think of Westeros, is she? Not even when she’s liking it

Thank you again!
Ah, but Podrick has now shown himself to be capable and courageous in front of the whole of Winterfell. There’ll be no more idiots causing trouble for him. Brienne is clever, and careful with her friends.
Hmm… Tormund for now. I’m afraid this is the first part of my author manipulation. Second part will be coming. But really, Jon Snow would see the three of them as amazingly useful, especially given the information he’s about to receive about himself, and how he might end up fighting in this war.
 

Thank you, Bronx!
lol… I was sure Clegane would decline, just as he did, and I was also sure Brienne wouldn’t be able to resist a little bit of “practice” of her own.. even while he was asleep. I think she’d have that kind of approach, to be honest. And, if she did give herself the go ahead, I think she’d have very few hang ups.
As for Tormund, he is wicked, but he’s also got an amazing scene coming up when things start coming together. I’m going to be writing that next. See… I don’t think he can actually have her without getting into some kind of ‘being married’ situtaiton, so I’ve got a little plan. And so has he. Good job he’s a lunatic. It’s a do it or die thing. And the last of Brienne’s defences will finally come down… really excited for writing this!

So the dog is doing okay. She’s had an injection, and another one today. She’s finally started eating again, and is on a strict diet of chicken and rice. She’s happy. That’s more cooking than I can be bothered with for myself at the moment. Although, a week on monday she’s going under to have her teeth cleaned and any extractions done – a whole other can of worms. Greyhounds and their teeth. I’m sure it’s their racing diet. They get fed crap. And cocaine
As for the story, I might finally be getting to the end of shading in the Tyrion scene that I wrote the dialogue for some time ago. Having said that, I’m not altogether sure I’m happy with it, which is a bit of a bugger. I’ve more or less already got the next two or three smut chapters word perfect in my head, waiting to be written down.
So, it might be a while. Right now I’ve kept it in Clegane’s pov. If I decide to switch to Tyrion to see if it works out any better, I’ll have to rewrite the whole bloody thing from the beginning, and it’s a four thousand word chapter. So… *sighs*
If you’re reading this looking for updatds… sorry, folks. I just don’t know when.
