Hi MegansArk,
Welcome to the end of your lurkerdom.
I'm happy to have you joining the conversation.
Thank you for the encouragement, and I second everything you said to Annette and the others who keep the board running.
I actually have finished writing the story and have P.M.-ed Annette to ask her what e-mail address I should use to send it to her. (Let me publicly thank Cuidadora for beta reading the piece and giving some really good suggestions.)
As soon as Annette has my story, I plan to post a teaser for it in the hopes of drumming up donations. (Hmm... Does that make this paragraph a meta-teaser?
)
LL&P,
Lynn
