I hope all is well with you! Are you still writing in Hobbit fandom or has life kept you too busy?

On to the more serious questions...is Take a Chance on Me still your main ringtone?

Happy…

You'll find I've done nothing but write Hobbit and Hobbit cast RPF smut this year. It's been a blast.

4 Jan 2014, 13:08

I still write--slowly--but I haven't posted anything since September. I've started a story in a new fandom (Teen Wolf) but I won't decide if it's post worthy until I finish.

I need to find you on…

4 Jan 2014, 02:38

Are you still writing? I miss you!! It's been ages. Have you switched monikers/locations? Are you at least on Tumblr so I can find you? I mostly to be found on Ao3 and Tumblr as ThornyHedge.

4 Jan 2014, 02:27

I giggled on several of your responses but that's only because they're similar to mine (ABBA for your ringtone...awesome). We are the same age which amuses me for some reason.

Thanks for sharing.…
