Ahh, and now that I'm home and can actually type and don't have to write an entry via cell phone..

Dear My Secret Santa,

I know.  I wasn't particularly picky with what I requested.  And I know that sometimes a lack of structure like that can actually make it nominally harder to write, but I'm really not all that hard to please, so it shouldn't be too hard.  I wish you luck on writing for me, and I hope you have fun with it.

Wishing you luck,
Erin


Dear My Recipient,

Not like you'll read this, not like you'll know if you happen to, but.... Like I said... I think I'm gonna have fun with this story, and I really hope I do it justice and don't make it really really stupid.  Because with what I have planned, it could go either way.

Knocking on wood,
Erin

Well, now I have and I am and I am so glad it was fun for you to write. And that JC in the store scene is absolutely fucking brilliant, so yes, you were right. The rest of the story didn't suck either. Thanks so much. Again. :)

You're most welcome! Again, only not behind the whole mask of anonymity thing.

By the time I was finished writing it, I figured you'd like it, I just wasn't expecting you'd like it as much as you did. (I was expecting enthusiasm, just not JOYOUS WIBBLING. ;))

I think the ultimate compliment for me was how you automatically figured that I would be on your FL, though. (Lack of which, however, is now remedied.) I wouldn't say I read your whole journal, just... a taste. (I mean, when your recipient requests tentacles and mutations, you kinda get the idea to pile on the weird!!)

But anyway, enough of my rambling. Glad you liked it again, and thanks for giving me the story idea I never ever would have gotten on my own.
