Author's Notes:
In my defense, yes, I am a Christian. First and foremost, I would like to address the subject of my Peter/Susan Pevensie stories. Yes, I fell. Yes, I sinned. I do read my Bible (in fact, I read it all year round and replace it when it gets too crowded with my notes and annotations—which is every two years—or when my Bible gets really worn out). About my Peter/Susan stories: like David, I was lured in by something beautiful. Like Eve, I was drawn in by a lie. When I first read a Peter/Susan fanfic, I was disgusted—it was revolting! But then the more I read these stories, the more I found it…interesting. I have read really good writers who make it seem really nice. The lovers, the problem, the separation, you-and-me-against the world, and the tragic ending; all these appealed to the romantic in me. I've always loved Romeo-and-Juliet/Tristan-and-Isolde-type stories, and from then on, I was hooked like fish. Yes, I fell. And yes, I sinned. But I also got back up again. I am over those stories (Peter/Susan) now. I have confessed. I have repented. I have turned—like Peter after his denial, like David when confronted by Nathan. The Holy Spirit was and is my Nathan. And like David, I did repent. I DO NOT AND WILL NOT write any of those types of stories anymore.
Second, Christina Nelson. Yes, I know that Catholics are Christians too—at least that's what I used to believe. But my mom's views/attitude have been rubbing off on me, I guess. I introduced my friend to her (who I have a crush on). She liked her and they hit it off. She even said I should ask her out. When my friend left, my mom asked me if she was Christian. I said yes. She says, "Oh? From what church?" (She is well-versed in Scripture, which my mom liked.) I said, "Saint Something-Something." And she said, "Oh… Well, she's not Christian then. She's Catholic." (Plus she saw her pictures on Facebook and saw the icons in her house.) I did debate with my mom about that for a long time (months). But I guess it rubbed off on me.
Third, one of the demon-hosts. My ex-girlfriend's roommate herself asked me if she could be included as a villain in my piece because she liked the idea (of her fighting against me, perhaps).
Fourth, yes, I fell. Yes, I sinned. And yes, I was hypocritical. But at least I clean my mouth (or reviews).
