In the time since my last entry here, not much has changed. I have lost some of my beloved cats to various maladies, and currently have five who are the loves of my life.
I continue to work with my entertainer, but no longer write fiction due to the abandonment of my Muse. Maybe someday - but at my age, I have my doubts.
My favorite writer here on LJ remains "Oasis" - her talent is unsurpassed and always a joy to read.

I just discovered this survey in my Entries taken in 2007. I'm repeating it again here because I found it amusing how many of my answers have changed within that time. It's fun comparing the two:

I have no idea when I last wrote here, but it was last year or before. So much has happened in my life in 2008 I couldn't begin to tell it all.

Suffice it to say that my "dream" of moving here to Las Vegas was only the beginning of seeing many more dreams come true. 2008 was a good beginning -- I can only hope for more of the same, and more time with the two wonderfully special friends I made here, in 2009.

I'm delighted to see that this board is becoming a little more active.

The post of Christina's 1st Chapter is Great! Since I now have my own Yahoo Group, I think I'll leave my stuff there. Unless there isn't enough interest; then I MIGHT move it over here just so it will be seen.

It's just great to find others who like S&R Fanfic at last!

I know about the Fanfic site on here, but there have been no entries since Nov. 2006. I have attempted to join so I can POST a new S&R slash story I've written, but have received no responses.

Does ANYONE on here know how I can post to this site? Or if there is some OTHER site for S&R fanfiction now? I can't believe I'm the ONLY one still interested in writing and reading fanfic about these two.

Help!

12/30/06: Today I discovered there are others on here who write and read fanfiction about Siegfried & Roy. It truly made my day!

I've been involved in fanfic for several 70's TV shows, always wishing there was a site for S&H slash stories too. Now I've found one -- right here!

Nothing has been posted to it since November so I HOPE it hasn't died. I have lots of ideas I would LOVE to write and post here, but I have to be accepted as a member there first.

If anyone knows of OTHER S&R fanfic sites anywhere, PLEASE let me know.
