Ah! I am certainly not disappointed with reviews, Terry! Especially today, seeing as I posted it so late in the day (relatively)--it was almost 3 hours later than usual. Sometimes I may get a little over-anxious if the reviews are slow to come in at first, but there you are. I seem to have attracted a pleasant little gathering, which makes me feel quite waffy myself.

...But if you really think that my posting schedule is *too* fast, then maybe I shall slow down...<evil grin>

Of course, it's always good to get more reviews, yes? ...Certainly. Always, always.

But now that I've said that, I am saying that I probably will be getting at least a little slower on posting. Er...really this time. I'm serious. Right.

Okay, so I'm not very convincing. I really have become quite addicted to this story, reviews, and pleasing you people out there, so the past couple days there have been times that I shouldn't have posted (because of all the craziness I had going on), but I did anyways. Oh, well. But still--if I disappear or a day or two, don't freak out. I'll be back. Chances are that I just overdosed on the two large cans of hot chocolate (my substitute for coffee) and am running around the city in blue tights and a cape trying to burn off all the excess energy...<takes a long sip of her hot chocolate> Mmm...Who cares what everyone else thinks?

And I found out that my plot kind of took off without me, so...right now I am having to go back and fill in some necessary stuff (mostly waffy, which I don't personally mind, but for me it just doesn't come naturally like the major-angst chapters. Those first many chapters practically wrote themselves, and are quite literally posted in their first draft forms). So if there's a delay that might also be a reason, though I'm trying to take care of that as we speak.

Thanks for all the luck and well-wishes you guys have extended. I'm feeling better already! thumbsup

Hopefully I'll be posting the next chapter tomorrow afternoon. A little longer chapter--closer to 4000 words, this time, but I think that's going to be a more general rule. They just keep getting longer, it seems...

Anyway, thanks again for all the comments and reviews. Hope to hear from you all again tomorrow,
