I always like your observations and intermissions and have to comment.

Thanks. I'm always nervous whenever I put up a new discussion, worrying people will think "Oh, great, what she complaining about now?" But I feel that there's something to be learned from these kinds of observations, whether it'll help in writing better fanfic or help in writing original fic (Ex. Since discovering that it is possible to have a Mary Sue in original fic, I've been paying closer attention to how I develope my characters.)

Plus it's just a nice way to vent.
