Thanks. You are too sweet.

That should in no way suggest you be any less sweet. It's very nice. ;-)

Thanks. Didn't I see your name on that list as well? Congrats.

Congratulations. I think she's really glad to have your help. :D

And I really enjoy betaing her stories. I basically think I don't balance the praise well enough with the constructive criticism.

Aw, thanks. I feel like I can be too critical, that I don't focus enough on what's good in the stories.

Hope you had a good solstice; started planning for a proper one for next winter here.

I've started rebuilding online again. Hope to be on fb; dw etc again soon, but I started setting up a new lj today.

Look forward to chatting again.

Best wishes,
Ray.

Awesome to hear from you again. Why the new account?

On the Solstice proper I watched Shaun of the Dead - for the first time. I thought the zombie attacks and the use of light made an excellent metaphor for the battle between light and dark. The zombies almost killing everyone mapping to darkness at its strongest. The flickering of the fuses creating a disco light motif for hope barely holding on. The bright lights of the trucks when the soldiers arrived as the triumph of the sun.

So, so many reasons. It almost feels like starting again on t'internet.

I hope to be back on facebook soon, if not by tomorrow night.

Congrats on the award btw.

Ray.

Thanks. It's sort of a weird award. How do people, other than those I've betaed for, know if I'm a good beta or not?
