Or it could have something to do with the fact that timeously (which I had never heard before, and I have a pretty good vocabulary) is " chiefly Scottish and South African ." As are the occasional other usages in your fics (well, many are UKisms in general, rather than specific to Scotland). They don't bother me at all (I grew up reading the One End Street books and others of that ilk), but might be confusing to a non-native English speaker more familiar with American English.

And make me hunt you down and pester you on AIM until you start posting again? Wasn't once enough?
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
