Ah, Leigha, I can always count on your bluntness, eh? I feel like I should throw myself on the ground in apology for having written something so stupid as the line you were laughing over. I wasn't trying to underline, THIS IS THE FUTURE, so much as just mentioning where her damn phone was, because it didn't make sense that she should be digging in her purse for it, and I didn't want people to go, 'huh? A phone in the dashboard?' Obviously that was the wrong decision. In any case, the line has been changed. Thank you for pointing it out, though I have to say I could have done without the repetition of Why it Was a Bad Idea. I was so embarrassed (yes, that is the word) that I had to force myself to read the rest of your comment. I was worried there would be more things you thought were dumb that you were going to tell me about in meticulous, excruciating detail just so I could know exactly how dumb it was.

But you didn't! Colour me very pleasantly surprised!

Well, the whole piece is embarrassing to one such as I who has written a lot of fanfiction, because Wing!Fic (as it's referred to, generally in precisely that way), where you take your favourite character and slap wings on them, is a big ol' trope, to the extent that it causes eye-rolling. Since there are several people from the same fandom on my FList, I was feeling anxious as to their reactions.

I am, as usual, very happy that you enjoyed this. And I appreciate your comments very much. I just wish you could please be a little more gentle with the stuff you don't like. I've never managed much of a thick skin when it comes to writing.
