I have to apologize to everyone, period. Real life swallowed me whole, as I have been struggling to make a living writing original fiction over the last 8 years. It has not been easy, & has been complicated by health issues. I hope people can forgive my long silences. Trying to make enough money to live on from writing is a lot harder--waaaay harder--than it looks. (At least I didn't leave any posted fanfics unfinished.)
Anyhoo...
These stories are works of parody (& thus are allowable under US law), and are not written for profit. Just for fun. I'm not making any money off of any fanfics, nor will I ever. I'm just playing around in other writers' universes.
...I am, however, making something of a living off my own stories. (If anyone wants to play around in my universes, you may visit my website, www.jeanjohnson.net, and look up my policy on Fanfics & Fanarts. It's reasonable enough and fairly easy to follow, too...)

Um, Lotm. What have you been smoking lately? :P
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of I Can't Believe They Write These Things)
I don't. ...Do you think that's the problem?~Lotmdisgustingly sober when I do things like this...frightening, isn't it?

Scary indeed. These things just bubble up spontaneously, do they? :D
Response from ladyofthemasque (Author of I Can't Believe They Write These Things)
Oh, yes. You should read some of my original fics, too...~Lotm"m is for muahahahahah"
"It’s bad enough that Skeeter woman insisted on making me sound like a manically obsessed bastard in the ‘official’ war novels, but the blonde twit does a total one-eighty between my strength of character throughout most of the series, and my wimping-out death at the end! I didn’t die! How could I have died? I’m a fucking Potions Master!”That was PRICELESS!And thanks so much for the belly laughs...I've been sick as a dog for the last week and I really needed that!

There are a couple who do this sort of thing; I've read some on TPP and Ashwinder (may have been the same one cross-posted, not sure)...But it was fun, and I just wanted to do it. I'm glad you're enjoying it,~Lotm
