Thank you so much for coming over to my lj and reading this story. I really appreciate what you've said here, particularly because this story resonated for me so much while I was writing it. And thank you for friending me! I will be glad to friend you back. My policy is to friend those people over 18 (because I f-lock my NC-17 fics); I didn't see an age statement on your lj... May I ask if you are over 18 years old?
