In my opinion there's a difference between "copying" and "quoting" - since the latter is more of an acknowledgement of where my inspiration came from. However... "when in Rome do as the Romans do", they say. So I've taken down all quotes from the stories I've posted here. A special thank you goes to my wonderful beta readers: MerriWyllow, Miss Peg, and tromana. You're simply amazing girls, I can't thank you enough for taking the time and the effort to help me develop my plot bunnies, turning them into much better fics than I can ever manage to write on my own.
