I took a peak at the recced fic and ohoho! - my Ronnie's a bit of a hero fairly soon into the story, I'm so reading this tomorrow! :D Thanks for the rec!
Yey for you signing up for the next_gen, we can totally hold hands and howl into each other shoulder when it doesn't want to go the way we want to! All the little comforts of friendship, eh? :)
I'm sure no one would mind if they get their fabulous present from you with a bit of delay, I know I - ahem! - wouldn't! :D
Enjoy your reading (apparently the show you're going to got standing ovation, it's totally worth the effort!) and your writing Fridays!
