Sure, travelling for an hour or more for specialist treatment to wherever (and it's totally common for us here in Geelong to hightail it up to Melbourne for a variety of things, too) but from some of the researching I've been doing, I have the idea this sort of treatment could have been arranged to be carried out locally after initial consultations with Steve's immunotherapist. It was bugging me, anyway, because I didn't feel it was a hundred percent accurate. Maybe it's something I'd only be bothered by, LOL, being pedantic for realism. But ... I like the concept way too much anyway, so it's going to stay regardless of how many degrees right or wrong I might be

Depends how close PC is to a larger urban centre, though, as to where he'd end up going ... despite the fact that I think I've read pretty much what you have. Eh, I think now that I started overthinking this over a couple of days of editing and talked myself into a case of the stupid, and for the sake of my sanity, I might leave it there. (No, you don't want to see me get stupider, do you...?) Thank you for going to all that effort to ease my stupidity, though. :)

PC only has a population of about 7-8 thousand living people full time, although that number expands some with the summer tourist season. So, not Wagga-sized. :) (Can I point you up at the header, by any chance?)

I think you've talked me into about ten different ideas, lately. Which one do you want first? :D

[theskimblishone]

*bursts into giggle fits*

Of course, you're way too cool for headers. What was I thinking, I do not know...

Carry on sounds very good to me. *nods in total agreement*

Both of us being smart is definitely much more fun!

I probably would have to hit you if you said all of them! *shakes fist at Dibbs* I'll see which one intrigues me the most tomorrow, then, although I'm thinking about saving all the Lizzie stories for NaZoWriMo. If I can hold off that long. Which means it might be 'Abe being turned' or 'Abe being startled by a pervy zombie' or 'Abe suffering through a camp-out' if I decide not to go the 'Waltzing Matilda meets zombies' route and dear God, have you noticed the fact that nearly all of these involve Abe suffering...? Does finding that amusing make me a bad person? Is it a problem if I am? But anyway, you totally deserve a fun fic, especially if it involves zombies...

Yay for zombie icon! :D

arguably nothing worse can happen to him

Well ... he met Steve, and Steve hasn't even begun to shake up Abe's world. (Oh, I have something planned, trust me. Steve's got a pretty big spanner to throw that Abe's not ever going to see coming, and it actually has nothing to do with extreme sports...)

I reckon he'd have a hard time getting through a week without suffering in some way.

THIS is Abe in one sentence, context not required.

(Oh ... it's so going to be the pervy zombie one, now, because I just realised how Steve's going to react to that. *snorfles*)

True, true. Why worry about being bad when I've already danced over that line, howling with laughter? There's no going back! :D

[theskimblishone]

It is! It could be better, but I'll get there eventually, LOL. (I like this one better...)

Did you actually get up early? *shudders at the thought*

[theskimblishone]

Your icon is AWESOME. It has a stick-figure horse! You must now go and rule the internets...

7:30 on a Sunday morning sucks, even if it is for something good, especially if it involves long travelling to get there. I'd be grumpy too!

But you are famous, at least around here! :D

Ooooh, shouting. Yay! *bounces*

I've written 800 words of the pervy zombie story. I've gotten sidetracked from the pervy zombie by Steve being logical and laid back about sex, and Abe struggling to wrap his mind around that fact...

Edit 'cause I wrote 'vampire' instead of 'zombie'... *headdesks*

OMG, OMG. Cake!fic is awesome. AWESOME! I am dying from the AWESOMENESS!

(I wish I knew someone close enough (in terms of distance) I could make a cake!fic for, even though my cooking skills aren't anywhere close to my writing skills. Just ... such a kick-arse concept...)

You wrote it, how can I not get excited?

It's not about quantity, it's about quality. So there. :D

[theskimblishone]

But it will be there!

I've actually done cake-decorating, although that was some time ago, and I don't know how good my writing would be anymore. Maybe we need to get together and surprise someone...
