I got about 321 messages over the past weekend and many dealt with you
downplaying your talent and rest of the posters trying to tell you that
you were a great writer.

As I am new to the field of anime fanfiction, but wise in the way of
fanfic in general, I say that any writer that generates
that much acclaim deserves to be praised and lauded for her abilities,
even though they lie in the field of fanfic.  Taking other peoples
ideas and turning them into stories while staying faithful to the
original author's intent takes talent, no matter what you may say.

Also, since I am new, anyone want to tell me where I can find 
Hitomi's stories?
