I Had a Big Smile on My Face this Morning!

Lili De La Field, an author on ff.net, sent me a lovely note this morning.  Back in February, I wrote a review of her story, "The Lake of Tears Affair," in which I said it sounded like the start of a great tale and I hoped she would write it.  I was on that site the other day and saw that not only had she begun to do so, she had thanked me for inspiring her to continue!

Her original one-shot is now 22 chapters long and counting and I think it's really good.  I wrote another review after reading all the chapters and I received the aforementioned note.  In it, she told me she is halfway finished writing another MFU story and gives me credit for encouraging her!

This makes me happy.

Thanks for the rec! I've started reading her story and loving it. Why not ask her to join Section VII? She'd certainly be welcome and may enjoy the challenges. She already has the right stuff.

Excellent idea! I just PM'd her and asked her to join.

That's funny. I just left and invite in a review of "The Lake of Tears Affair" so she has 2 in the same day. Hope she joins us; she's a very good writer!
