Happy Birthday to
wilemina_29 .
You are so freaking amazing I almost can't stand it.
You were the first author whose stories made me fall in love with fanfiction.
Everything before had been utter silliness until I came across a absolute gem of a fic called
The Ring .
(link to first chapter)
This fic has if all:
amazing drama, heartwrenching angst, and, yes,
SMOKING HOT SMUT!
This was, of course, followed by me reading
Blinded By Love
(link to first chapter)
because by this point I was hooked and could not get enough of
Connor and Abby.
I eventually branched off to other brilliant authors,
but you were totally my first. (LOL!)
Thank you for having the courage to put yourself out there as a writer.
You are truly inspirational.
OK, I know this is way late your time, but it was the last day of standards testing at our school and so my kids were insane. Consequently I was insanely busy. I'm so sorry it's late and you've probably already gone to bed. It's still the 29th here, so happy happy birthday.
I should have your b-day fic along in a week or so. Real Life has sucked all year and is kicking my butt quite effectively. I'm so sorry I don't have it for you today. :-(
