I'd be watching for her to pull up in your actual driveway if I were you! Just wow...

She'd need a boat. A big one, given the weather

A glorious history of service. Enough to make me learn the words to O Canada.

I ahd a nice comment come through feedback (anonymously) a few days ago. It was nice to see love for an old story. Short and sweet on The Important Days:

This made me cry. Well done.

At least I think it's positive. I can read that "Well done" with a sarcastic voice too, but I'll stick with the positive.

You've stained too many exam papers with your examiner's tears in your time, clearly. 'This made me cry. F-'

I do have a policy that students can get a bonus point by making me laugh when I'm grading it. It really does kill the tedium, which is more a factor in making me cry while grading. Reading the seventeenth consecutive mediocre answer can bring tears to your eyes.

Very recently, a colleague dismissed a mediocre draft of a speech as being AI-generated slop and completely rewrote it, only to discover by the upset caused that indeed it had been written by a human who had thought that she'd done a very good job. You just can't win sometimes...

Earlier today I read what was to me a train wreck of a story. No details needed. I turned to a Tarnished Penny story and was … Purified.

Thanks

These certainly made my day. But I submitted an edit to the story they are on. I intended to only fix a few typos and change the title, but ended up adding 1,500 more words of sex because I just wanted to.

It's a stroker and nothing but a stroker. Still, I'm hoping the edit goes through before March. I thought I could deal with the mistakes because I knew I was struggling to finish anything, I was wrong. They've been eating at me. I know my work will never be perfect, but the mistakes were careless oversights due to struggling to accomplish anything the last couple of months.

But I like the story and felt it deserved better representation than I initially gave it because I was in a rush to just "finish something". The fix is significantly better quality, though I'm sure I've overlooked a few typos. I always do.

When I read this again, and I will, maybe tomorrow! I will note the dates of each chapter so I can have more clarity of timeline. My confusion is not your problem, I'm just soft-headed.

Your story is wonderful, I hope more people read it. At the end, I cared deeply about all of these characters. Imperfect, complicated characters are the stuff of good writing.

Small detail: I deeply appreciate all of the Fleetwood Mac references, from the Peter Green days to more modern stuff. When I was sure what you were doing, I honestly wondered, will he include "Black Magic Woman?"

Thank you for all of it. Now, on to your epilogue . . .

This quote has made my year!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!

I’m so delighted. No one since Peta/Sam was published has picked up on the fleetwood mac references - I’m so pleased someone FINALLY joined the dots on it.

Thank you!!! You know who you are - thanks for reading my novel. Appreciate you.

— Hey, I’m a lesbian.
— No way, me too.
— Wow. Guess that means we’re supposed to start a relationship on day two and have sex right away.
— Oh my god, stop, that’s exactly what I was thinking. I want you.

in a category titled "Lesbian Sex" - I mean, how dare I?

Hold up. Are you writing lesbians that don’t align to a reader’s preconceived notions of what a lesbian ought to be? Shame!

It's almost like this isn't a documentary site or something.

I prefer the Short Sunderland, known by the Germans as "The Flying Porcupine" due to its defensive firepower.
But I suspect not really the thing for the writer of the post!

I really, really want context XD

One of my favourite aircraft. Quite happy for her to be a lesbian. Just trying to work out why.

I'm sorry, I won't be taking questions about her
