Announcement regarding my Birthday Challenge for 2016: I'm very sorry, but I will not be writing my annual birthday ficathon this year. As I said last year, 2015 was most likely the last one I will do (at least until I find a new fandom that I'm crazy about writing in, and even then, maybe just the one story instead of matching the number of chapters to my age). I did do a little planning for Year 27 - the theme was supposed to be Twenty-Seven Dresses (I was a bridesmaid for the first time this year, so I thought a collection on different dresses, both literal and figurative, that people from Leverage have worn [and maybe even "dressing downs" that they have had] might be interesting). Planning is as far as I got, sorry. My birthday fics are pretty much the Big Thing of the year for me, and they are really a massive undertaking, so while I will miss the reviews (review junkie that I am, haha), my sanity is more precious to me this year. *wink* (6 collections [age 20-26, skipped 24] = 137 one-shots. Dang, poesie!) A great big "THANK YOU" to all of you who have supported me all these years!

Okay, done. Back to my original profile:

Too much blathering on in profiles annoys me to no end because I have to scroll down that much further to get to the stories, so I'll be brief with the comments and just list the stories that have sequels in the order they're supposed to be read in. That should make things easier.
