Aha, I'll watch for both.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Because books.
(This is why -- well, one of the reasons -- we love Ginger. She knows all.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Those are excellent examples, Ginger. Those are both well-loved books. AWiT is one of what I consider my 'life-saver' books - not just comfort reading, but the kind of reading that is essential when my soul feels wounded.
I hope Cog will become that sort of book for people one day.

This isn't the thread for fanfic, but I knew people would appreciate this: I'm writing, I'm writing, I'm writing. I didn't know if I'd still be able to after Hubby. I haven't been able to write in so many months. It's both wonderful and sad that I've got it back.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's great, Connie!

That's really great, Connie! Maybe there's hope for me yet.
