I'm so scared that my characters are going to *die* that I'm currently a bit hamstrung with fic ideas at the moment. I just have this feeling that someone major is going to be permanently ended and I'm going to be heart broken and have an epic fandom depression. It's keeping me from doing anything really, well that and RL, but you know what I mean.

Damon's journey has been so much fun! I'm glad all the twists and turns worked for you.

it's been comforting to see other people say past tense writing flummoxes them too.
