-sigh-... I'm sorry that my activeness is so sporadic. I must admit to my interest level fluctuates in accordance to how much outside conversation is going on. I need to do better at actually engaging conversation, especially if I like the story so much. Which I do. A lot. I was wondering if you would like to have some sideline chatting with me. Either in a PM or via AOL Instant messenger or email...?

I do not mind chatting! I will have to say that I am somewhat wary when it comes to sharing my e-mail address though, so I would prefer PMs as the medium for that, at least from the ones you listed.
