*laughs* Thank you! Your words have put me back in a more right mind, and I truly appreciate that.

Sometimes it really bugs me how lame the fandom can be. I mean, there are thousands of fics out there, many of them very good, all for free, and yet the vast majority of readers don't bother to spend that half minute to let the author at least know they read and like it or dislike it.

I know I shouldn't let it bug me, but alas. Some days it does...
