Thank you, Marcus! While I’m not really picking up and running with anyone else’s work here (after 140 days, I’ve learned to just grab from thin air!), I definitely see the influence of others’ on my stories, and very evidently from your work, past and present. Unless I can pinpoint where something has struck up a spark, I can’t always see where I’m getting the story, though I can spot them afterwards (it’s that OMYGOD! feeling that worries me about inadvertently plagiarizing).
I would LOVE to be at kaffe! Thank you! I just haven’t wandered out in many directions since January 1st; haven’t been submitting much unless it’s spur of the moment, and haven’t been active at Fictionaut as I swore I would be.
