you know what, the next time I'm laying face down in the keyboard crying about how much I suck, I'll read this. Thanks so much for telling me this. I'm forever thinking that there's this tiny club of a few people who read my stories and neveryone else is here because I'm an entertaining goofball--but geez--I can't be that damn funny. *g*

You saying you've read my stories more than once makes me feel wonderful-I always re-read my favorite authors. About The Dog, man, I almost feel I should apologize to everyone who's ever read that fic. It hurt me to write that story, believe me.
