Owing to my monumental stupidity, I accidentally deleted all the "thank yous" I had sent to those kind souls on LiveJournal who had congratulated me on last week’s good news.
Really mortified that I did that, folks. Permit me to issue a blanket "Thanks" to everyone, along with my apologies.
What? War isn’t ugly and power isn’t hot? When did that happen?
I certainly agree with your main point, that all fiction is fantasy. Some people just have more imagination than others.
