Oh, you should get an LJ; doesn't take long to set up and you don't have to post in it; just gives you a foot in the door.

And thanks for the nice words; slash is something I fell in love with about five minutes after discovering it and not long after I began to get slightly more daring about writing smut (my early fics I didn't even have people kissing ;-)). Not that slash is all about the smut, of course...mostly, but not all ::grin::
