Yo.

I like to read fanfiction. I also like to leave reviews, so I can come back years later and see where I've been. I have actually been haunting this site since 2001, when I discovered fanfiction thanks to a friend of mine.

But lately, people have been turning on the new "no anonymous reviews!" shield, which means I can't review unless I actually have an account. I have bowed to the inevitable, and gotten myself a name. Rather than being the terror that flaps in the night, leaving anonymous reviews, I am just another catgirl wannabe.

With a name comes all sorts of responsibilties, like writing something fanfiction-y so I don't get kicked off the site. What a pain.

WHY THERE IS NO NEW CHAPTER:
In June I lost my job and my apartment (it's the rising health care costs--not my fault, I swear) and moved halfway across the country to shelter with my parents. (Yes, I'm a pathetic piece of humanity, shut up.) They don't have working internet, alas. And I'm too busy working (job-hunting is time consuming,now my new job is exhausting) to get my own place to live; I have no time to seek out an internet connection,nor themoney to buy one.

I'm updating this from an internet cafe at ten at night--tomorrow is my day off. Expect a chapter when I am no longer a poor squatter, and have time forthe fun things inlife again. Hopefully by September. (But then I have to move in, and get a phone... and internet... life is tough. And then you die.)

...encouraging emails are welcome, though. I plan to come here on Sundays so I can check it. (zOmg! 5000+ hits, 1 C2! And this is with only four chapters... "They like me! They really like me!" bursts into happy tears)
