There was a line that I was going to put into my introduction to my 
Ranmafic.  I thanked Wyrm and Keener, and was going to extend special 
thanks to Chris Davies, who started me fic writing with his works.  That 
got me to wondering how everyone got started writing stories in the 
first place.  Did an idea just grab you and not leave you alone?  Or, 
like me, did you read someone's work and just had to try your hand?

(Of course, that got me to thinking about the first fanfic I ever read, 
and I had to read it again.  If anyone cares, it was 'Oh My 
Devilhunter', by Mark Babcock.  Still one of my favorites.)

(Note to Chris: Please take that as a compliment, as it wasn't intended 
to be an insult.)

BTW, I forgot to add in the customary 'PLEASE GIVE ME C&C!!!!!!!' line.

Kiss me, Wind, kiss me... 
Hold me, Sky, hold me tight... 
And protect us, always, 
until we overcome and break down the walls, 
until we touch down and seize our dreams, 
because we were born 
to be happy.
