*devours fragment*

Thank you

I’m beginning with the last sentence of the first bit just so you know I haven’t accidentally left a line out.
Wow. You must be tired to not worry about a potentially true Evil Cow Opportunity.

Now go get some sleep!

Hard to describe why; same reason I don't like other British chocolate. Chocolate from Canada strikes me the same way. Too ... buttery? I like a smooth, rich texture, but not a buttery FLAVOR. On the other hand, I had a Cadbury bar in Argentina that I still remember with great delight. I can't for the life of me imagine why a Nestle or Cadbury bar bought in different countries tastes different, but it definitely does.

That could be because the different countries have vastly different regulations as to what comprises actual chocolate.

These days, Hershey's more often than not, uses vegetable shortning in their products. See for example the Reese's Whips.}:/

Whereas Green&Black's is all organic, so they definately taste different.}:P

I won't lynch ya for not liking it, no worries here.}:P

Fake Frenchie wrote on Tue, 31 March 2009 02:19 Thanks for the fragment. I have all sorts of ideas about this story roaming through my head, but I'll refrain from foisting my ideas upon you. (Is "foisting" used correctly in this sentence? I like the verb, but I never know exactly how it should be used.) Considering it's already written, I don't think it'd do you any good. Robin has said before she's one of those once-it's-down-that's-it writers. See her response to demands for a SUNSHINE sequel if you want to imagine what foisting would accomplish.

She also has said before, I believe in ref to this very story, that she won't have it printed either.

She doesn't like to revisit a world once her Muses (Library people?}:P) decide she's done with it. That's why there's never been any more books about Aerin and the Blue Sword. Something like that, I believe, has been rehashed numerous times.

Not that I mind one bit.}:P My copies are well read and well loved and I like them that way. I can't imagine them being added to or rewritten.
