OT: Oh, woe is me!

[Nathan Campbell <NathanCampbell@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm afraid I must leave you all for my annual two-week beach vacation.
I have stopped e-mails from all of the YahooGroups I have membership
in, and will have to spend a lot of time catching up when I get back.
Y'all keep writin' while I'm gone, now, y'hear? I wanna have lots and
lots of wonderful fanfiction goodness to read when I get back. To a
few specific authors:

-Mad-Hamlet, let me remind you of that fanfic I recommended a few
months(?) ago, Undocumented Features. It's at http://www.eyrie.net,
and if you really are an anime fan, I'm sure you'll love it.

-Kirayoshi, keep it up with Return -- I'm very interested in the JAG
crossover prospects, as well as the simple factor of Graham's 'return'
to Sunnydale, and Willow's possible empowerment of some sort. And
anything else you might want to contribute to the list is sure to be
welcome... I seem to remember you saying something about a third
installment in the "Life is Sweet" and "The Third Power" series...

-Shyfox, if you're out there: I'm always glad to see your fics in my
inbox; I really hope that I can be glad to see them on the group site
instead when I return. You are a wonderful author.

-Callistosdarkside, Right in Front of You looks to be getting even
better; somehow, it has epitomized excellence with each installment,
and yet simultaneously maintained an upward trend... How *do* you do
it? :-)

-Anne-Lise, your wit, your imagination, and, of course, your
ever-appropriate wackiness will be missed for the next two weeks (by
me I mean; I'm sure those on-list who have access to it won't miss it,
because it won't be gone... um, anyways...), and, to both you and Fox:
Hahahahahahahahahah!!!!! :-) The strip is so funny! Never stop with
it, please! I love it!

-Sammy, all of your works are excellent, but I'm particularly
interested in Blind Faith right now... perhaps it's just the nostalgia
of a fic that has a live Buffy in it (j/k, there are plenty of those
to go around), or perhaps it could simply be your incredible flair for
storytelling. Either way, keep it up, as well as the rest of your
work!

-Carol, I have not yet read much of Shadowwalker, thanks to the evil
of Yahoogroups... I haven't received any of the recent parts, though
I've heard about them. But since I'm going to be at the site anyways
:-), I'll have to check them out, as the praise I've heard has been
glowing. You, like many other authors on this list, are excellent at
what you do, and I hope you stick with it -- where else will I get my
entertainment?

-Red Demon, I always liked Flying Without Wings, and now that it has
been brought to its conclusion, I can simply hope that you choose to
bless us with more of your writing -- whether in a sequel

with straight-falling flames,
a cricket rubs his wings,
scraping up thin sweet song.
