Just got an email comment on my second UNCLE slash story, written, oh, about 15 years ago. It included the following gem:

"You have a knack for plot, and your dialogue isn't bad. :) Practice makes perfect, ne?"

I am soooo tempted to send a snarky reply, but think I shall settle for amused silence.

(BTW, I'm not saying the story's a gem. Those early UNCLE stories were a bit rough. But, man, I think my dialogue is better than not bad. *g*)

Well, to put things in perspective, back when I was a (rather fat) actress, I once got a review that said, "(Shayheyred's real name) did a great job playing the drag icon Divine, the person she most nearly resembles."

As for me, I think your writing is brilliant. Just a few more tries, dear, and you should be even better...

*runs away*

No problem, I'm English, I always assume sarcasm is a sign of deep friendship... except when it isn't. *g*

Heehee, something we Americans think we understand, but clearly don't.

We're only truly rude to/with the people we love, it's a thing.

At least we don't insist that piano legs be covered any more, it's progress.

We're now rather fond of a little exposed wood...

Awww, thanks! That means so much, coming from you. *g*
