So, let’s see.  I realized I should probably put up a few notes about my NFE’s.  I had a terrible time with posting and I’ve had to do a lot of RL writing.  But it's done and up and one part of it in particular, Katyn, deserves special discussion.

And, I need to thank [livejournal.com profile] snacky again for running a wonderful exchange.  A true bright spot apart from the great stories has been that I've gotten to know some new people better, including [livejournal.com profile] tantella (the LJ account for Avia Tantella Scott), [livejournal.com profile] starbrowsings (Starbrow), [livejournal.com profile] heliopausa (Heliopause) and [livejournal.com profile] pencildragon11 (oldfashionedgirl95) (and one of her nearest and dearest!  Waves!)  We've also gotten stories from people who I've admired for a while but haven't seen Narnia work from them ever or in a very long time, including [livejournal.com profile] therck[livejournal.com profile] freudiancascade and Ruan Chun Xian
And this is, I remind myself, the real wonder of fanfiction -- the act of creating, the joy of sharing, and the growth that comes from the inclusive, vibrant communities that grow around those creations.
