Ghostpaw, I am so very sorry about your kitten. I was a mess when I lost my cat. All my love and many condolences. x
but for a brief mad moment I felt like charging to whereever you were typing out the story and demanding that you resurrect [her].
I'm afraid she was doomed from the start, ever since her character was created. As I wrote more and more of their interaction I began to feel really cruel, because I was laying on the saccharine with a shovel and obviously, I knew what was coming. All I can say is, it's necessary, and by the time we get to the end you will see why. (By the way, you were absolutely correct about whom vs which - thank you, I have changed it accordingly!)
I must say I am surprised and extremely gratified by everyone's reactions. To know that people care about your characters to the extent that something like this actually moves them... well, it's pretty amazing. I also feel like a total beast for upsetting you all. I'm sorry. x
Can I also throw out a huge, HUGE thank you for helping this thread achieve 200 posts? Setting up a second thread is very exciting - small pleasures, I know! I am incredibly happy that you are all enjoying reading. So, without further ado:
THANK YOU! xxx
