Oh, and I'm glad you're not even tempted to let the critics dictate your methods. What I love about your stories is how diverse and often completely unexpected they are. I don't always feel comfortable commenting on certain stories--in case rl people track me down and see what I'm actually doing with all my time (esp. when I should be writing that diss I mention, lol)--but, to be honest, I've read every single one of the 101 stories this month and enjoyed all of them.
Whoops, I just gave myself away.... ;)

Yay! I'm glad you're inspired to finish your thesis; I know how it feels to get stalled like that. Perhaps you just needed a break from it? Good luck!
*blushes more deeply*
You are good for the ego, my friend! I'm quite pleased to know you've been enjoying what you've read here; that makes me want to write more. *twirls*

Thank you! I did need a break, I think. Not that I haven't spent a lot of time being distracted and surfing the web, but I always felt guilty about it. Once I decided to dispense with the guilt and officially set aside some time for play throughout the day just to give me breathing space, it's gotten better. It's still slow going, but now it doesn't feel like complete and utter torture. (LOL, I just realized writing is like dieting for me! It only works if I don't approach it as punishment.)

Wise policy! Play is necessary, I think; it allows the back channels time to work. :D

Oh, and please don't feel like a slacker. I wasn't kidding about being cyclothymic (think of it as "bipolar light"); there are some times when I couldn't write a store list, and it all depends on my brain chemistry-so I take advantage of it when I can. :P

I'm surprised by some of the points in your post, because I never imagined they'd come up. Good work for keeping your head up.

Meh, some people have to be told about fandom conventions in order to know how to behave, I find. It does occasionally get old, but I've already forgotten the complaints. :)

Yes, you should call! Or I should. We fail at calling! *loves*

I have still to catch up on some, which proves that you write faster than I can read. :D
Was very amused by the malcontents; it takes real talent at malcontentment to raise the points they were malcontented about.

This month, I've been writing faster than I can read. :P I hope you enjoy what you read, and thanks for commenting. I've had so much fun!
Yes, well, I think the complainers were largely newbies who weren't yet used to fandom interaction. I hope they've stopped being so fussed.
