Thanks, Matt.  I've always been a good mimic.  It's nice to know my ear is still sharp!    Years ago, I wrote a poem in the style of Poe.  Even today when I read it, it sends chills down my spine.  Which is a lesson, I suppose, on how mimicking something can rebound on you! 

I definitely want to return to this universe again.  I think this could be 'the start of a very good friendship' between Straker and Nyt.  But for now, the story stands alone.  Thanks for all the kind comments!

How are you these days, Amelia?  It's been a long time since we talked.  I used to think you were certifiable (a condition you promoted yourself!), but I have since come across some who are much crazier than you could ever be.  You're almost tame in comparison.  I still remember how much fun we had thrashing around ideas back at The Write Mice.  You, me, Deb, Alison, Pam, and Dragon.  Those were the days, huh?

BTW, I enjoyed reading your 'Magic Fairies' story.  It came out not long after my 'A Little Magic' and I was glad to see someone else exploring fantasy in the UFO setting.  I was only sorry that it didn't seem to have any fairies in it, just witches.  'A Little Magic' was my first attempt at combining my two obsessions.  I was very pleased with it, but I like 'UFO: A Fairy Tale' better, probably because the fairies are real this time.    I'm glad you enjoyed the story.  Are you still writing UFO fanfic?  I haven't seen anything of yours at fanfiction.net for some time.  I hope you are still writing, even if it's not in the UFO universe!

 

"Older."

Yeah. *sigh*  Aren't we all?  Here's hoping that the other half of that holds true, and we're "wiser" too!  Take care. 

Oh, you baby!    I turned 50 last year.  I'm loving it! 

I may be the oldest, I'll be 59 in March.

March 2nd, just like in the story. *snicker*

Another Pisces, cool. BTW Amelia, I love the play on words with your screen name. I didn't get it until Denise mentioned Write Mice, that gang was before I was around.

Okay Denise, get cracking on your Ed/Ginny story, I want to read it!  (I know you can do it. *grin*)

Thanks for sharing your birthdays!    With them coming up so soon, hopefully I'll remember to wish you each a happy day. 

I think the hardest thing for me is that I simply can't write her the way she's portrayed in the series.  It's just too hard to make them a good fit that way.  Perhaps if I write her the way I did in Writer's Block?  My daughter really enjoyed their byplay in their scenes together and actually thought I intended to get them together in that story!

I'll think about it some more.
