Thanks for mentioning that, about the chapters being complete. It's something I work on, making sure that each chapter has a set up scene, build up of tension, resolution or climax (I like that word!), and a closing scene. That way, it feels more like a string of one-shots than a WIP. Of course, now that I've said that, I feel embarrassed, because the next chapter won't have that structure--it's just a coda or epilogue to this fic.

My lj name...hm, that's an embarrassing story. I have another internet identity in a different fandom, and when I decided to branch out to other fandoms, I took on this new name. Except that I screwed it up. I thought I'd be clever (which I utterly fail at) and take on the Greek word for "unknown one" or "mysterious one", which happens to be ainissesthai--and for some weird reason, I screwed up the spelling. Didn't realize it until it was too late, and I'd already posted a couple of stories.

It also gives the impression that I'm Thai, which, unfortunately, I am not, but I do have Asian blood. Just not Thai. ^^

codas are good :):):)

really? the greek gives the impression that you're Thai????!!!!?!?!?!

I was curious because it was Greek!
ETA: after posting this, I realised that it might have sounded insensitive (but didn't have access to a computer until now- sorry, I didn't mean that...

Oh, you don't need to apologize; I'm not terribly sensitive, plus I don't think you said anything wrong. (I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier to this post; I had to leave for work, and my job blocks LJ.)

I just didn't explain myself well enough. For ease of use, I sometimes break up my LJ handle into two parts: Aenisses Thai. It's when I do that that the mixup occurs with people thinking I have something to do with Thailand--completely my fault, of course.

By the way, you mentioned earlier that aenissesthai was a verb-could you please tell me which verb? Just curious! Thanks!

[olympia_m]

oh, I see! I'm fortunate that my job doesn't block LJ (but when I go out of the office, I have no internet access...)

Ah, okay, now I understand how it would look Thai :) that is indeed confusing :):)

ah, yes - it's the infinitive of the verb ainissomai=to speak in riddles/hint at

[aenissesthai]

Thanks for the translation! It's funny that my spelling mistake turned my handle into a verb. "Speaking in riddles," huh. Makes me sound like "Dances With Wolves." Hee!
