Hi Nathaniel,
I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and have enjoyed your rich imagination. I've also found your flitterfic to be great for thinking up a short response scene I can use as a writing exercise in editing.
Thanks! Fritz
That's great to hear! Hopefully you're still around after the GenCon drought...
Still around and glad to see two more flitterfics.
