Hmmm, it could be the season, very true. That whole lack of daylight and all. Also after spending a very enjoyable few weeks home over Christmas it's a bit tough to go back to having no friends and living in the Pit of Hell (no offense, if you're from Texas! But then even native Texans feel my pain for having live in this soulless abyss.) Thanks goodness there's slash to help us through!

Thanks for your encouraging words about my writing. I fear you caught me - all my secret, hidden hopes that the world isn't such a bad place seem to make my way into the Remus/Bill pairing. It just seems to me it would be fresh and hopeful -- Bill is old enough that he wouldn't looking at Remus as a teacher/mentor, and yet young enough to liven things up and not get bogged down in cynicism. I'm all for Remus/Severus (mmmmm... Snupin) but they have such a complicated relationship filled with baggage and mistrust that any hope one finds is usually very small and hard-won. And of course Remus/Sirius has the whole cheery death problem. :)

Thanks so much for dropping me a line! It's neat to know someone out there is nice enough to check in on me now and then.
