ack! i'm reading, and responding to, your comments out of order, apparently! i interpreted your comment at the conclusion of Bittersweet Hour to mean that you were suggesting i continue the story. sorry for the misinterpretation!
as to others playing in the Hour 'verse, i'm assuming you noticed the lovely contributions from blackmare_9 and nightdog_barks. what you may not realize is that those are two of my own favorite writers, with whom I have a significant level of experience and trust. both of them asked permission and then sent their work to me for approval and review -- never with the assumption that what they had written would be used in any way.
i know them well enough to know that I could very easily have said 'thanks, but no thanks' without hurting their feelings. and they are both aware of something you couldn't know; i've previously had what i'll term 'a negative experience' allowing another writer, a while back, into another of my 'verses. so i'm... skittish, i s'pose. instinct tells me you're an excellent writer, just from reading your comments. so it's nothing personal--at all. it's just... me, being weird. i very much hope you understand where i'm coming from!

No, no... you were right the first time. My intention was to think of Hour titles and possible subjects and pass them your way to do or not as you pleased. I admit, I hoped that if you were not interested in writing them yourself, you might say 'go for it', but wasn't saying w/the first intention being to do them myself. Like House, I enjoy solving puzzles... mine just happen to be literary, not medical.
My apologies for any misunderstanding. I forget sometimes that while I'm not a newbie author, I AM a newbie in this universe and community. Like w/actors, b/c the best authors pour so much of themselves into their work, it is easy to forget that, in reality, there is not nearly as much acquaintance as there might first appear to be. Again, please forgive any inadvertant offense.
Wierd??? Brightest Blessings, no! I understand... you too are in service of Story. This is a good thing, one I am very much in favor of, and while I admit to embarrassment at having been misunderstood in my enthusiasm, I am not offended in the least. Thank'ee's most kindly for your tact and kindness in the matter and the reassurance of it not being a personal thing.
May your Muse be ever at your side,

You are most welcome and thank you for understanding as well!
Oh, that would be wonderful.... I can see that leading to some POWERFUL stuff! (I know, it's not for sure or anything, just saying... but in any case, thank'ee's for the return compliment!)
As to the relative skill issue, at the risk of channeling House again, I'd say yes... and no. You have a power in your voice that I am in awe of and experiences in the profession that I will never have. And that's kyool, b/c it means that if we did choose to collaborate at some point, both parties would be bringing some very important skills to the table.
May your Muse be ever at your side,
