Just kidding, I won't be inserting random sex scenes. Although I have to say that is IS weird that none of my stories appear to include actual sex scenes anymore. Am I turning decent in my old age? Perish the thought!

No Sunday Six as of now, as I am actually working. You can tell by the fact I am posting polls on DW. ;-) But I did look at my showdown notes again, so that counts, right?

I assume you realize that 2,5, and 7 won't solve the perceived problem, and that 7 would even aggravate it by adding (deliciously?) to the word count. ;)

Are you sure about that? In my experience, eating cake solves a great many perceived problems! ;-)

[akk]

It solves the perception, not the problem. ;)

[rheasilvia]

For a merely perceived problem, solving the perception is solving the problem. ;-)
