Guess that makes me a very dark soul... I've done it more than once. 
And if you dare tell me that I did not put my heart into "Bubblegum
Collapse", then we will have words.  When I finished that story, I was
depressed for a week.

Be careful how you throw statements around... you could offend.

Okay... It didn't come out exactly the way I meant it.  Guess that makes me
a dark soul too, since I'm drafting my own dark series (me?  Personally, I
think I'm darkness coupled with the light).  I mean if you put your heart
and soul into your fic, you to a certain extent become "part of that fic".

THAT's what I meant.

     "It feels like ten kilos of life in a five-kilo box."  His voice
gained in strength and lightened in tone.  "I can only feel a trickle now,
like dust motes floating in a sunbeam, one by one, just moving through me,
but it's just so right there's no describing it.  It tickles a bit, feels
like a first kiss or the jolt you feel when the flux in sabacc just makes
your hand better than what you were already betting." - Two Jedi trainees
