twtd: untitled - I think that (and this is generally speaking) when someone is writing in such a tiny fandom, one where there is absolutely no assurance that anyone else out there is going to think your story is a great idea, where there is absolutely no guaranteed squee, you know that when they looked at this text (book, tv show, movie, whatever), you know that they have a story to tell. -

Because from what I've seen, the people who run Dreamwidth are doing their best to create something that I can totally get behind, a fan run business that will deliver the goods in a professional manner. -
