Birthdays, Meme-ing and Fic Update--
Valin Nosta!
Holy crap, I'm behind! *facepalm* (I'm going to have to start doing this once a month or something.)
A truckload of very Happy Belated Birthdays to wivern, bexone, laceymcbain, neumsy, fuschia, archet, lady_glimmer, jersey_buttafly, rushumble, quabazaa, farothiel, brigantine1, geminigrace, hot_x_bunny, empy, tournevis, luthien23 and rsharpe, and a bushel of Happy Early Birthdays to splix and kittylass!
(Did I miss anyone?) I haven't heard from some of you in a while, and that's a real shame, but regardless, I hope all of you had/have wonderful days, and that the year ahead brings nothing but joy. ♥

And in case anyone was wondering about those Month: Literary Figure series of stories I'm writing, they haven't disappeared into the ether. I'm actually stuck on and struggling with May. Sean is proving to be very difficult to write at this juncture. Sorry. *sigh*
