It's great that Idol was able to do that for you. I know LJ, in general, and the friendships I've formed on the site have helped me, too. I'm glad I stumbled upon this little place :D

well work and fit the topic
I agree. Thinking about past topics I've written fiction for, I really can't think of anything non-fic that I could write for them. I always like to come up with fic and non-fic ideas for each topic, but sometimes, it just doesn't happen that way.
