Awwwww! This is wonderful! A very refreshing and original take on them, and yet still so them. Oh, Fraser! You had me feeling nearly as frustrated as Ray must have felt, all because Fraser wouldn't spit the words out.

He’d been first in the heart of someone else only once. And she had died of a gunshot wound in 1967.

Ouch! Yeah, that's kind of it, right there. *sniffles*

Very hot first time, and GTO SEX and...Fraser, even doing it in a men's room, despite the potential consequences all around. He doesn't have any sense of proportion, our Fraser. :)

I LOVE this. Go, you! \o/

You're welcome. For the diction catch, anyway. Because you've introduced a new typo. It's "wreak." No C. :)

*loves you much*

*headdesk* That's it - I give up! Clearly I'm not cut out for this writing thing. I suppose I'll take up the pan flute or something to work out some of my creative energy. *shuffles off*

No giving up is allowed. :)

It might mean that becoming an editor isn't your best bet, but so what? Trust me, you wouldn't want to be one, anyway. It's a nasty, frustrating job, and I'm glad I quit.

Some of the best writers can't spell worth a darn, and it's nothing to worry about. My (almost entirely uninformed) theory is that spelling in English is more a function of visual memory than of language, anyway. When I see words, I almost always remember what they look like. It happens automatically, and is not something I had to learn deliberately. When I meet people, I usually remember what they look like, too--forever--but am highly likely to forget their names within minutes, if not seconds. Which is embarrassing, but at this point I just confess my disability in this area, and ask. Multiple times, if necessary.

Maybe it's just a matter of what we focus on, or how our brains are organized. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's not that important in the grand scheme of things, and it certainly doesn't mean that I should stop ( ... )
