Well, over the weekend, Sephy finished posting my Holmes story, A Study in Satin here on BCTS. I really wanted to just say thanks - to Erin for the site and for welcoming my stuff here, to Sephy for reformatting the story, finding the art and then incorporating Brandy Dewinter's original artwork into the posting here. Its all on my website, but I feel better knowing Brandy's work is in more than one place on the web. And thanks to all the elves who keep the site up and churning day after day while also protecting the legacy of some of the early sites that have unique stories nowhere else on the web.

I also want to thank the folks who took the time to read through Satin - it's a long story and about as involved and convoluted a work as I have ever written. As always, thanks for the comments and the encouragement. My somewhat evasive muse and I thank you for that. Maybe she'll stick around more now.

Just a thought. I went and looked on a very old somewhat (*ahem*) dusty desktop computer I never got around to recycling (it booted in Windows 98 for goodness sake!) and found that I started Satin back in late 1998, early 1999. Almost 20 years, or a third of my life ago. (head shake!!) As I reread the story as it posted here, I was, well, surprised that this story came from me. I know I wrote it and I sort of remembered various scenes and such, but it was somehow new to me at the same time. It was a remarkable feeling.

I thought I'd share that because maybe other authors might have a similar experience looking back at the 'old stuff'.

anyway, thanks for listening.
