Hehe...thank you!
I've found that I really do tend toward writing darker stuff...I love the angst! (And I apparently love making Norrington as miserable as possible...poor guy)

I love the angst!
XD me too! I like writing angst but I prefer reading it, maybe 'cause I don't think I'm very good at writing it XP

Oooh, could you? *is incredibly grateful*
Yes, dear! Just tell me the subject you want for your icon or if you already have an image/picture/screencap you like.
I love making icons ^^

Besides that, just surprise me!

This is fanastic, about as realistic as it could get. I see it all very clearly.

Thank you!

How come I haven't read this before!? It's absolutely great! *___* I love the way you write James, his guilt, his desperation, all of his tortured soul is here! Will you be writing more of this? Please? :)))

Awww, thank you!

And I am trying *very* hard to write more of this, but it's proving very difficult (I think largely because the style and tone of the piece are hard to maintain for longer stories--at least for me!) I have a little bit more of this posted in my LJ (not happy enough with it to post to any communities yet), but I keep writing more and not being happy with it! But goodness knows, I'm trying!
