I suppose it doesn't take much to make me happy, but I've already got four members in my community aussie_slang, and one of them wasn't even someone on my friends list that I pimped it out too.

I dare say there shall be a few minor edits before I send it off, but I anticipate sending it in ( Read more... )

Thank you to all of my wonderful friends who suggested reading material. So far, I've gotten through (and thoroughly enjoyed), books 1-7 of the Dresden Files.
