Curse you, paradoxes! Why must you intrigue and repulse us so!?
Hey! Thanks for the welcome! ^-^ I befanned (wicked word, by the way) you because of your amazing vampire story, "Eternal Sunset". Personally, I'm a sucker for vampires and a sucker for post-apocalyptic, moral-challenging, earth-shaking sci-fi stories... which would pretty much describe the story. :]

Oh, and no, I keep a vast supply of bubble gum, ha ha. No worries!
Hey Ben, I'm appreciative of the extension you presented.
Sorry that I wasn't around a computer much this weekend.

I think I would like to save the story I was going to post this week for the next. I would really like to know people's reactions and thoughts to this kooky form I intend on sharing.
Ben, I would like an invite for Furious Flash Fiction Fridays. Thank you. louisa
You know what? It's less than 1,000 words. I'll come up with something. Do I have until midnight, central time?
Oh no! I was just going to do some reading and critiquing this first time around. I'm so sorry. I have nothing prepared. I looked in on Monday and Tuesday and didn't see anything. I am now beginning to understand how it works. I'll try next week. I feel so awful!!!
Hi Ben,

Great to hear! I'm glad that that was no misunderstanding amidst the critique. It was informal, but I ended up feeling embarrassed after I realized I was playing the critic of someone I couldn't even call by their correct name. :/

I'm glad to be a part of an interesting circle of fiction, as well. "Open" rules and Furious fiction are my favorite!
Wooh! I'm in.

Ben!
I just spent 150 Scribo-coins, dude, to write you; so I hope you recieved the message.
Please, let me know, okay?
Thanks!
