I know I was going to start this years ago, but it never quite happened! It's not anything major and I really have no time for it, but I'm going to give a go at doing short reviews whenever I can. Naturally, it's swayed towards gay/slash, but other things are welcome too. I'm happy to have members who want to review stuff too, so go for it if you feel so inclined! All welcome, as long as we don't have fights starting over opinions. Opinions are exactly that: what you thought of it! Discussions welcome, but no wankery or flaming will be tolerated.

First review is up here: The Vintner's Luck. It's short, it's sweet and it's open for viewing!

Firstly: my email address is the_skimblish_oneATliveDOTcoDOTuk, so feel free to email away - if you get any time when you come back! (I hope you have fun camping. I love it, although, that's not usually with hordes of school students, either...)

I'll definitely check out your ficjournal on the weekend, when I have time to enjoy some good reading. Thank you!

Wow. What a word count! I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little iffy about teenaged protagonists (mostly because they seem to be so overdone, and I really prefer reading about adults) but that said, I'll usually give anything written by someone I talk to a shot. (I've gotten to read some good stories that I wouldn't have otherwise read that way...) If you don't mind, I wouldn't mind having a look someday, but there's no rush, either. I probably wouldn't even be able to start reading a long story until after the Christmas Chaos Season at work is over, sadly. (I work in retail distribution, so we're building up to our busy season...)

LOL, since when is a quick reply possible?

Have a great week camping, and I'll always look forward to more chatting! *hugs*

Thanks for the e-mail address! I'm just back from my week away, so not properly organised, but hopefully will e-mail you at some point soon!

The 'camping', btw, was 'school camp' and not really camping in tents at all (thankfully, I'm way too old for tenting!), rather in cabins (and we parents even had our own bathrooms!), so quite civilised! The activities were a lot of fun though, and I did get more ambitious with them than with the sleeping!

More chatting by e-mail soon! *hugs*

No worries!

Ah, cabins are fun. (Own bathrooms! That is so totally civilised! School camps I've been on, we were lucky to have heating. In the middle of winter...) The activities in your post sounded just awesome...

*hugs back*
