And hm, I thought I'd already fanned you.
Ninja mode, stealth mode. Same thing, really.
Why so shy, anyway?
By the way, do you know you're in stealth mode? Looking at your "events" section it's like you don't exist.
Indeed!

Ha! Nobody's complained about the story being implausible, so no worries on that front! Great critique, thanks so much for reading it. If I get a chance to revise, I definitely want a new word for pants. I need a clothing thesaurus!
Dooooo it. Writeyerfaceoff. 
Hope your small child feels better, too.

If you've the inclination I certainly won't stop you.
I'll certainly review yours when you've posted. Lots of not-so-great writing on here, lately.
You can try the microfiction circle if you want to start out small.
It's like FFFF only with 150 word stories and on Mondays. There's a microfiction contest coming up at the Binnacle in February some time, so I'm priming for that.
Are you kidding? Thank you! I'm addicted to your writing!

(i'd hate to find out i'm normal. so if i am, shh, don't tell) |
| Interests: | writing, theatre, reading, learning random or strange facts, plants (it's a love-hate relationship. i kill everything), cooking (i really want to write a cookbook some day), indians baseball, steelers football, and then there's always the current obsession (it's part of the OCD). |

| Favorite TV Shows: | i DVR way too much stuff, makes me look useless, but i absolutely love man vs wild & true blood. you can sprinkle in eastwick, private practice, the vampire diaries, america's next top model (okay, that's a lie, i watch it religiously), the biggest loser, cougar town (don't judge, just watch it), flashforward, and grey's anatomy. wow, i promise i do more than just watch tv. |
