(no one meta's all of fandom that well unless they've had the rose completely scraped from the glasses)

I tend to agree, actually. I've been involved in fandom for about 5 years, just not Jossverse, and not lj.

The perfectly drawn metaphor!

Ha, thank you. I'm really tickled by the positive response to that line; I almost cut it because I thought it was too cheesy.

This is absolutely one of those brilliant pieces of fanfic that's nothing about kink and everything about what drives the love of the show.

You take that back! It's all about the kink! ;o)

It's fantastic, and I'm sorry I'm just now telling you that.

Thanks. I'm really flattered that you liked it, especially because I already really respect your writing and I've only had a little taste. But don't be sorry, or else you'll make me feel bad about all those wonderful things I've read that I have yet to send fb to people for . . .

Thanks again.
