[Hmmm... That didn't quite work; well, I may as well fix it.]
I was reviewing our original correspondence, from August of 2004 -- it's hard to believe I've only been involved in the fandom (my first, and only) for two years. What did I do with my life before this?
It feels as though we've been living in compressed time, doesn't it?
I look forward to this being a goad to read more of your stuff, Ann. I loved the first one I read, the fic from the POV of the Dwarvish woman who secretly carries the torch for Gimli. Then, other than a few drabbles which I commented on, I've read the Boromir/Haradric youth stories that were so wonderful. To read your B/T, I read the GORGEOUS short fics you directed me to by Scribendi, but then I went back to work on my fic and never did anymore fanfic reading. These links will be sitting there in my post saying, "read me! Read me!"
As for the ratings, thanks for the tip. I'll check. I believe I have been rating it using another system which I thought better:
E -- Explicit: "He jammed his cock inside his/her ass/slit, his balls tight and ready, ready to spurt". A -- Adult: "He thrust his heated length inside him/her, drawn up tight, ready for his release". M -- Mature: "He took him/her and soon was ready for his consummation". U -- Universal: "They became lovers".
I found myself solidly in the "A" category when I wasn't "M".
It's somewhat unfair, but the distinction between E and A seems to have more to do with language choice than the detail of the description.
