*baffled* I would have sworn I responded to this a couple of days ago. My brain is like a sieve! I'm glad you enjoyed Fortress so much! It ended up being a lot longer than I had anticipated *wryly* but I figured a little longer for the whole story instead of gutting some of what I thought was important was a good trade off. I wish I did writing for a living *grins* Thank you so much for your kind words, and I hope you enjoyed Static as much! <3
