Glad you're enjoying it. Slang and dialects can be challenging, so I know what you mean. It usually helps me to try and say it out loud when I encounter it in other writer's work. Not always, but most times. :-) There will be some more of that later on, but it's not all through the story, so I hope you won't have to overwork your Oxford!
P.S.: Fifteen years?! How did you manage to keep this gem to yourself for so long? I guess we really need to thank your friend for persuading you to pull that drawer open... :P
15 years ... I know! Not sure where the time went. Couldn't believe it when I pulled it out and saw the date on it! It's been tremendous fun working on it again and it's really nice being back. I've been dipping my toe into some of the stories here, but I'm looking forward to diving in once I figure out where to start. So many to choose from! Nice to know the fandom is still so active and vibrant.
