See what we get up to without your steady guidance? We need you here, Elempi. Otherwise teenage romances spring up.

Oh come on...teenage romances spring up with or without mature and adult guidance (your birthday is over, lmp, now we can pick on you again

).

And this teenage romance was too perfect an opportunity to pass by.

Besides, campy angsty fiction is fun to write.

EDIT:
*creepy ghost noises* Yes, she's aaallllwaaaaayyssss here....

Especially, LMP, if you ever do write that special bit of conflict that you've now said may never happen. Can you imagine?

I've set it up (btw) to give Marenil his bad news letter...now I'm going to put the actual event off for a while for greater effect. (translated: I'm feeling guilty about it again. Never write characters you like! Write characters you WANT nasty things to happen to!)

EDIT:

Fea, I do not handle suspense well....just a warning...

Oh, you know very well it doesn't work that way. The worst stuff happens to the characters you care most about.

I know. *looks guilty and innocent at the same time*

But wouldn't that just... make for some really great writing?

Okay, Jen. I'll be nice now and stop.

Too late.

Oh I know... *sigh*

The characters I don't like tend to lead very boring lives anyway, as I don't particularly care what happens to them.

*shudders remembering some characters*

I know what you mean. I very nearly killed them in exasperation. I figured that death would add a bit of interest to their lives.
