deep breath]
Whoof. All right, out from under prior deadline, caught up on sleep, several weeks out from next deadline. Time to actually write a Dear Writer letter...
First, and always most important: thank you. This exchange, more than most, is about fandoms long-loved and of long standing, and I really appreciate the chance to see a story in whichever of them the two of us happen to share. I know one of my favorite parts of this process is the chance to make someone's day with a new story in a really rare fandom, and I suspect I'm not alone in this. So thank you (as Linus Van Pelt said once) from the bottom of my socks, because the bottom of my heart isn't deep enough.
Now, then: first, you want to know what I like.
( And here's a cut, because this will run longish.... )
