It will be the very first BT fanfiction I read by someone other than wiliqueen. :-) (Okay, okay, hers and the ficlet I wrote at her prompting. She's really effective at seducing people into new fandoms, isn't she? ~g~) I just feel I should read all of Huff's novels first... it's partly the market issue, which is very important and a baseline courtesy, as you note, but for me it's also a matter of how I hear the voices. I'm a bit of a canon junkie, and what I read first, my mind will process as "the real thing."

Thank you! And: no rush. I'm not going anywhere. Same email address for ten years and counting. :-)

By the way, where is your FK fanfiction? That is, your preferred site, archive, link list, or otherwise?
