I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I think you're entitled to point out that you wrote the story X number of years ago.
If it had been a really old story, I'd be less insulted, but I think I wrote the story ze commented on in 2007 or 2008.
Shrift, I really loved your Yuletide '08 Sports Night story...I meant to tell you that when I found it but I keep forgetting.
Thanks! I wrote that the first Yuletide, and suffered silently through a lot of backhanded commentary about how Sports Night wasn't really rare, and that I should be punished somehow for writing it.
I'm just a happy fun ball today, aren't I?

Always Anti-fascist!
Ok, then, it must have been '06 or 7. Well, it was new to me.(this stuff is supposed to be fun, people, dag.) That commenter has brass ones. Because it's not unusual for me to read a story and think that somebody missed an opportunity, but I would never tell the author that. I think I'd write my own damn story, if I cared that much.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(Or as an exclamation of joy. AAAAAOOOOOOO!!!)
I kinda fear your joy. But will amend my A03 pronunciation once we stop boggling at the comment shrift got. Oooh, reminds me, I have a Yuletide window open and I want to go reeeeeeeeeead.

I think the first Yuletide was '03, actually! (Oh, my god, how is it almost 2010?!) And I am glad you liked it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
From Yuletide, A Calvin and Hobbes story that won't make anyone cry: [link]
eta: Okay, so maybe it made some people cry. In a good way, I hope.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Excellent.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Is there a mem feature at AOOOOOOOOO? 'Cause that one I don't want to lose.
