Well, I've started re-posting my fan fiction on here, but I haven't mentioned it because apparently reading reviews of trashy motels and using GIMP to create the Buick Enclave Estate Wagon takes precedence.

But if I may be serious for a moment, I'm baffled as to how I should reply to the latest review. She makes some very valid points, but making some of those changes would change the very nature of the story and the main character, and it's too big of a change. Not to mention the fact that I'm busy, I'm getting up there in years, and I don't have the time nor the will to completely rewrite the thing. It's like trying to turn a Quality Inn into the Ritz... it's not gonna happen unless you tear down the place and start over anew. And my schedule as well as my waning interest in fan fiction in general won't allow that. So... how do I explain that without sounding like a jerk?
At least I'm getting reviews here though. At the other forum where I frequent, I've just wrapped it up yesterday by posting the last 12 chapters all at once. Granted, the other place is much smaller, but my one regular reviewer there said she was too busy, so eventually I just ended it and asked her to copy/paste her reviews from SPPf and combine them into one final post. I would have liked to have continued posting normally, but things just didn't allow for that. As for here... we'll see how much I can get posted. Don't expect a big amount of editing other than ones I did about 6-9 months ago, though...
Okay, enough ranting. This Buick ad pwns:
My next entry... haven't decided if it's gonna be an anime related entry or the final installment of Buick: Then and Now. Stay tuned is all I can say, I guess:P
Also, look for a new graphic/banner for this blog. Gotta boot up GIMP again...
