writing is sometimes very hard for me. not because i hate editing, but because it doesn't always come easily and i am a lazy sod.

and i wouldn't really worry about disrespecting fanfic readers. if they/we don't like it then it simply won't get read. at least, that's how i see it.

of course, you don't really write fanfic anymore, i think i remember, so that would be a moot point.

anyway, i'll put in my two cents and say i felt (and feel) the opposite of "disrespected" when i read your work. i think you are very talented.
