Missy, I know that feedback is a wonderful motivational factor, but I once began what I thought would be an interesting fic and posted it in the early stages. Feedback was good, but I never finished the story. It's still sitting on my hard drive. Since then, I've only posted stories that I've finished and then tweaked the stories. I feel more responsible doing that.

And I have brainstormed a bit about this story. That's why I know where it's going.

I guess it's the big whip then...but I'm a non-violent person.

And Jude, I just finished reading another novel. Now I can beta-read what you sent this morning.

To the rest of you, Jude has one heck of a terrific fic coming up. It may be one of her best.
