Ah, I'd forgotten Torchwood... very good point.

No idea why you can't comment... I've not changed any settings to say people can't. May go and check to see if any of them have been changed...

Glad I had myself put at the bottom because I just now feel like I can finish a thought again since the last of our company left yesterday. Prom, award ceremonies, and graduation are over. Let the writing resume. And commenting, too. I have three days off this weekend due to Memorial Day so I should have extra time to play catch-up on my reading and commenting.

Still looking for ideas to add to the list (Weird Worlds, Retro-Future/Steampunk, and Planetary Romance so far).

Maybe it's because this month's prompt was about something freaky, but my first thought was June = June bugs = bugs that freak me out. Like camel crickets. *shudders*

*Hahaha @ Charity's disdain for bugs...great pic of your friend Chip on your website by the way...one dashingly handsome dude

What an interesting read! Enjoyed your humour tossed in for good measure, and was left pondering your thought-provoking questions as well. Good point made on the love/hate dynamic that exists with our championing the cause of the very thing(s) we fear. Well-written–cheers!

Just camel crickets. They creep me out. As for Chip, thanks. He's cute as can be, but an odd one. He's the first dog I've seen with a foot fetish. Weird.

Wordpress auto moderates any post with links in, I think, whose writer has not been approved before in previous comments... I usually get to them quickly and approve them (but don't always get round to replying until later...)

Another option for June - the painting Flaming June.

You proposed it; that already counts as a vote. It only gets a hash mark if someone else supports it

In other news, Penelope. Go.
