Please, torment me! ;) There has been a major uptick in card requests today since my friendly reminder yesterday, but I do not mind at all. Getting to read them is a regular dose of collateral happiness (some direct happiness since I get to read all of mine too :), and uploading them is smooth sailing now that most of the albums have been set up.
I never realized the extent to which the SWG played a role in your becoming a professional writer. I suppose I always thought you knew you were an awesome writer and took in professional opportunities accordingly! Although I miss your stories ... well, that's a pretty fine honor to have. :)
We share that commonality since success with my Tolkienfic and the SWG are what encouraged me to go for my English teaching certification and now my MA in humanities. Even though I probably would have always named writing as my best skill, I never saw it as something that I could make my life's work. It was a hobby and nothing more. Who knows what dull as dirt job I'd be doing if not for all this.
Thank you so much for all of your support over the years! :D
