The image of James in a drinking contest is fun one, though. :) I think my Jamie would drink Teddy under the table. Drew would hold his own, but ultimately he'd lose. Jack Sparrow would give him a run for his money, but I think it would be a surprisingly close call...you know, I think liver failure might kill my Jamie before any pirates can manage it. ;) Poor boy, he has issues. *cackles evilly*
Well, I'm a huge fan of psychological entanglements, so keep them coming, I say. :) As a reader, I appreciate it when an author takes time to develop the background characters. It makes the world the protagonists are living in feel far more rich and real.
Aww, I'm sorry about the twitch! I've got one of those going, myself. I'm still having terrible trouble with the second half of Far From Fine. I had it about half written, but I wasn't happy with it. It felt totally wrong, like it didn't fit with the first half. So I'm completely rewriting it. I hate that there's been such a long delay, but I'd hate it more if I posted something I felt was half-assed or a disservice to the story.

But enough of that, *laughs* you know I'm really impressed and inspired at your interest in and depth of research - I think it is so incredibly satisfying knowing the story you are reading is written by someone historically informed! :D Suddenly their world is so very real - you're standing on solid ground. Kind of reminds you why you keep writing too. You see such good handling of character and story that you're inspired to carry on yourself. Ahh, it's such a wonderful thing, being able to share your tales with other writers with similar interests... Oh, I'm sorry, there I go again.
By all means, please take your time and produce another wonderful piece of writing, Jade. *twiddles thumbs, secretly pining...?* Don't mind that twitch, a top-up will take it away, if James would be so kind as to share...though personally I'd go for the tea bags, *laughs*. Keep that muse fat, fat I say! :)

I agree, its nice to have other writers with similar interests to share things with it. I was really stuck in a rut until you started posting these snippets - I enjoyed your stories, and that gave me the push I needed to try harder and keep writing. So thank you for that. :)

You know I was saying to hips_lips_tits before, obsession can be good (and bad...I still can't be sure what my own is doing for me, hah!) but I think yours can only suggest perfection from a perfectionist - nothing much to complain about there, then! :) At least overthinking is better than underthinking...the worst scenario I can think of is to have a reader point out a problem with the plot. I think that would be my ultimate nightmare! At least there's some level of leniency with most fanfiction readers though...do you think? Many don't mind filling in the spaces with their own imagination, or to look over the odd questionable moment or two, providing it's not too out of place...*laughs* Or maybe I am talking about my own preferences there!
Nevermind. We'll all just keep thumbing through those interesting facts, collecting books on ships (ahem) and feeding off each other's muses, or at least that would be my ideal way to spend the days in some wonderful, writer-ly haven! God if only actual work was like that. *laughs* I suppose that makes this space even more important - the fact that it's an escape of sorts...but enough rambling from me! *apologetic grin*
