Meanwhile, the bishounen are drooling at the fudge.

Wow. My recipe involves chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
It's never been as hazardous as what you're describing.

Maybe it's nothing about you but entirely about him.

I have been finding energy and interest for working on my fanfics from a
very unexpected direction. I just got a new machine, which has Vista,
Office 2007 and a different directory structure than the old machine.
The directory difference is purely a quirk of my own, not the fault of
the PC. Which ends up meaning I've been having to open up every one of
my unfinished pieces and make sure they're structurally sound. After
which I begin re-reading them. After which, I begin working on them.
This is just accelerating since I finished the last novels being read
and took them back to the library.

*jumps waves* I'm here! And I'd love to beta read again. It's great to
hear that you finished it. I hope I can follow your example now.

You should do it anyway. Then tell us where it's posted.
