I can only plead general dullness
It took a while before I visited the Fanfic Challenge section, too... but I expect I'll get there. It does seem like it'd be a bit more pot-luck in there, with stories being very different from each other and never knowing what you're going to get... but mostly it's just a time thing. As it is, I seem to spend all day on here <g> and my husband isn't really happy about that
Oh, and I do mean to read Slave Race at the very least -- I started the first part, but got called away before I was even halfway through, and just haven't managed to get back yet.
