Strangely enough I just finished reading this one tonight at my #2 Lawson
reading place the Tim Horton's down the street...(#1 is a pub on campus
the Absinthe (or 'the Ab' as it's known) and #3 being a Companies
Comimg Coffee place (tied for second place is a backery/coffee place
called Futures) (and then there is a home but it does not count.)
 Strangely enough it had no actual identifier on the copy and I was
actually going to ask the list something like this.....
"I just read something which I wish people to help me find the author
of....an Ukyo story which reads quite like a Larsonfic and I want to
congradulate the author...."
 So much for C&C.... would it have been good for me to compare something
that seemd to have your style with a potentially unknown author?

Good question.

 Mr.Lawson, let me say this as a blanketing statement about your work.
 I can't help it I like it.
Also, no matter whether it is depressing or incredibly heartwarming it
alwys brings tears to my eyes (nothing like a 31 year old guy sniffling in
a Doughnut shop as he reaches blindly for napkins.) I am someone who
usually seemeds to project a front of being jaded and a little tired of
things around people I don't know. My friends know I can be an evil person
and send them tons of puns via e-mail or simply wait until they are aslee
and record them on their phone answering machines (the kind that the phone
need not ring with) so as to zap them with early morning pain when they
check their messages. I can also seem pretty brutal with sarcasm. 
 You sir, You and your writing strip that away.

 I also seem to have one of your fics in one of the aformentioned reading
locations when I go there no matter what I actually "think" I have. I
never seem to manage to read them at home where I can simply go out let
off a few cathartic shots from my sniper rifle to the mases below to make
it all better again.
 Somehow I'dd like to blame that on you as well :)

As a last little bit.
  I find you an acomplished writer in both technical ability and style and
also acknowlege your ability to capture the correct voice and tone of
characters and situations....


        Stop it.


       (yes, for those out there that last line did have a smiley face
invisibly slapped on it.)

Who is going back to sleep....I woke up suddenly after I started having a
dream in which Hercules was sitting next to me on the bus telling me I 
had to go out and find the real Moon Princess....
  Of course it woke me up....brrrrrrrrrr,

                    Full beautiful, a faery's child,
                    Her hair was long, her foot was light
                    And her eyes were wild.
