This is cute, but I'm going to go out on a limb--I know a lot of people don't like criticism in open comments, so I will be unoffended if you opt to delete/ignore/whatever--and say you might want to get a beta to have a look, because there's a distracting number of usage errors (e.g., a millennia (millennia is plural; singular is millennium); Yoeman which is both misspelled and non-proper in the context it's in; missing word in to a captain’s only daughter. and so on) and probably things a beta would point out as places to tighten up as far as stuff like info-dumping. I'm really not trying to pick nits; I have errors like this in things I write sometimes, too--I sometimes feel like they are invisible until the fic is posted. Anyway. It's cute, and I swear I wouldn't bother commenting if I didn't think so--something that's just bad, I just back-button in the first place.

Oh, it's no problem. I'll get those fixed in a few seconds.

I actually do have a beta, but she's out of communications at the moment, and though I really do try to have patience...I don't have any, like at all. I have tried practicing, but I'm horrible. I have a lot of these instances, and I have to say I am sorry, and I will work harder to wait until I have my beta available.

Anywho: I am glad that you like this story! Thank you for everything, bb!

Oh, whew you're not cranky at me, and dude, I HEAR YOU on the patience. I am impatient like an impatient thing (I'll be forty quite soon; I have concluded this is not a trait I am going to grow out of, heh), so my compromise with myself is that I post pretty much immediately, and then usually wait for the typos to pop up for my eyes the next day or something before cross-posting. Heh.

I don't know how to be cranky when it comes to concrit. I love it so much!

I will take your advice though, and simply post it to my journal before cross posting. We'll see how that works.

Thanks again!

Couldn't figure out what was up with Yoeman. If you would like to help me out with that, I'll fix it...but I'm at a loss. I won't deny, I'm not as smart as I'd like to think I am.
