Cheers, Jam Jam. Oh, and may I call you "Jam Jam" or at least "Jams?" I always forget to ask people this kind of thing.
BTW that thing I said I would send to you is coming along pretty good, maybe halfway done. I actually am having a good time writing it. (Don't tell dampers, though, or she might kick me out of the Cover2Cover tournament.)
Also, welcome back to America and plz post asian mall Cana-swag pics ASAP pronto. If not for me, then do it for the children. Kay thx.
You can call me Jam Jam (I'm assuming that's pronounced with a short rather than a long A). Or Jams. Or Strawberry Jams. Just don't call me James. I've always hated that nickname. People think it's cute. It isn't, people.
And now I am bouncing with anticipatory squee. (Don't worry, your secret is safe with me - Look away, Beth! Look away!)
I will have to get some pictures taken, you are right. Though most of the funniest stuff went home with G.
I hopped over to EF to reread the last couple chapters again while I sit and wait and think about your project. I saw somebody left you a lengthy review that was... not great :/
Let me tell you this: that reviewer is upset because s/he does not read English as their first language and therefore could not keep up with you. That is not his or her fault - but for fucks sake - it's not yours either.
Your story stands out in part precisely because the language is dense, complex, and rich with meaning. That you did not "dumb it down" because it's fanfic only strengthens it.
I was irritated on your behalf. I will now calm down.
Yeah, I saw that. I tried not to let a bother me though. Hey, at least it's a review, you know?
Actually, I was mainly just impressed that he/she was able to both read and review in her non-native tongue. I've tried to learn other languages along the way, but I'm missing some vital brainpower there. I just can't seem to do it, no matter how hard I try.
And besides, I can't blame her for the criticism of "I hate all these dimensions." After a while, I was starting to hate all those darn dimensions too. It's cool.
"Spuffy Friendly Ensemble Future Fic" Hmmm I believe I might have described it in nearly those exact words at some point - perfect description! :D
Also, ILU for - Characters: Lots
I'd say that about covers it.

Anyways, yeah, thanks for convincing me to take a stab at it. Obviously I'm not promising that it's any good, but so far it's been a lot of fun.
If you decide to Ebay the squirrel transfer I have a potential buyer(okay me).
