Oh... my

[hobgoblinn]

Oh my. Lots of people I have never heard of have left me comments and friended me today. I just have a couple of minutes before I have to take Wee Hob to Boy Scouts, but I wanted to say a quick welcome and thanks to everyone for now, with the promise to respond individually later.

And, I will rectify this on the posts later and certainly on the headers in the second half, but I have been very remiss in not recognizing Wee Hob as listening beta extraordinare for Lost Boys.

He can't spell so well yet (he's not allowed to use naughty words, in fact, until he Can spell them correctly. The F word also will require from him 2 feet of parchment on the socio-linguistic- political-anthropological, etc. origins of the word.) But he listened to me read all this stuff aloud, some sections more than once. I caught more mistakes, repeated words, and stupid phrasings that way than all my lovely betas have, combined. If anyone wants to leave Wee Hob a comment here telling him how awesome he is, I'll read them to him tomorrow after school.

Um, yeah. I better get going. But-- thanks, everybody.

It's win-win for Wee Hob. He gets to be awesomely helpful

and

bond with his mum in the process

and

hear stories which will keep him turned on to literature.

I like the idea of the parchment essay too. That's stuff is hard to find, even when he is ready to write it!

So, yes, Wee Hob - you're doing a great job and are the sort of boy any mother would be proud to have as a son.

I've friended you as well in order to keep up with your lovely fic. Ghostly Severus is so poigniantly drawn, his unknowing so moving. I look forward to the rest!
