Wow, I don't even know where to start... Thank you tons and tons for going to see POTC with me, forwarding me POTC slash, gently suggesting I give RPS a try, and then encouraging me to write me own story when I had a plotbunny that wouldn't leave me alone. You've been such a gentle beta, but honest and (I hope!) not holding back when you think I'm going in the wrong direction. I've been so impressed with so many of your stories that it's always an ego-boost to get your feedback and support. *sap*
Beyond that, you keep me company on YM almost every day, you listen to me bitch about life and work, you are SO supportive when I freak out about weird dreams and kinky fics that bother me. Your listening skills are simply amazing - it's so rare that someone online can make another person feel heard and understood, and that's such a great quality.
Of which you have TONS, might I point out? You write deliciously naughty stories, creative AUs, excellently in-character FPS, AND sweetenderfunnyashell "regular" fics. You belly dance. You knit. You make bath and body stuff. You cook. You make a fantastic bartender. AND you're a computer tech genius! You're like a one-woman Renaissance!
Your friendship means so much to me; I'm so glad I finally got to know you better than "oh that girl who belly dances that my husband says is also a geek." Now you're "oh, that'slostiawen, who squees over everything LOTR and smut-related with me. She's a published author now, but I knew her from before then." :D *squashinghug*
