Three birds, one stone.

I know a lot of people are suffering to no end because of the inclement weather and for that I am sorry. I know people are probably stranded with cabin fever, maybe even without power (in which case, um, damn, son). But as bad as that is the people of Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation have been without power or water or heat for nearly two weeks. No, that's no typo.

I know people have been emptying their pockets for help_haiti, which just goes to show the power of fandom, but if anybody's got a few dollars left that that they might want to throw this way for Emergency Assistance (or here via Piryx) to help these people or could even just pass the message on to people that might be able to help that would just be amazing.

It will never cease to baffle me as to why people feel the need to read and comment on stories they clearly don't like. Is your 'back' button broken? Do you really think your rudeness is so invaluable? Why would you say 'I didn't really like this story, I don't think you're a really good writer, but whatever, I read it.' Or better yet, "Everybody said this was good, but I just don't agree." I just... what?

Can someone tell me where manners went to die, becuse I'd like to put flowers on their grave?

In less irritating news, since I missed this when it was going on, I'm doing it today:

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day (by me!) Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the ficinsanity? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

Oh, and since this is my all-inclusive post, anybody have the new Sade, Corrine Bailey Rae or Massive Attack albums to share? SCORE! Thanks sugargroupie and jcase!

JUST SAYIN' HEY! *waves*

I must admit, I've been lurking for a few weeks now, but I've only written one comment. My mistake, since your fiction - - fun, sexy (oh, wow, soo sexy), sometimes heart-wrenching & always, totally quotable (as in, I wish I could steal some of this wit for my real life) - - is incredible. Your AU work is spectacular, the Layla series is a delight and The Messenger... THAT I love secretly --> It's not that I want to see bad things happen to Brad/Nate ALL the time, but your occasional dips into the angst pool are more than welcome; you do it so well! and go right for the heart in a beautiful, surprising way. Quite simply: you've gained a faithful reader & I'd rec your work to anyone. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your imagination and unknowingly introducing me to the GK fandom (your fiction was the first I read).

PS. If you run across any naysayers in the future, just assume (correctly) that they've lost their minds... or simply have no taste :) uhem! so, after that ramble, i'm darting away... calling over my shoulder, "your fic is great!"

What a lovely comment; I'm so pleased that you enjoy my GK writing and that you are enjoying the fandom! :)

p.s. I like The Messenger, too.
