Sani rompi nem I=yc, KANTAYRA! and happy birthday MAKD

[speaker_to_customers]

Happy Birthday makd and to the fantastic, the wonderful, kantayra!

Okay, it's the day after their birthday my time, but it's still their birthday their time and I think that LiveJournal's absence from this plane of existence is a good enough excuse for being late.


kantayra is a marvellous person and I wish her the greatest of birthdays and all sorts of good things in general. Her stories are awesome, and her Forbidden Love website is a treasure house of not only her own stories but also loads of wonderful recs and challenges.

One of the challenges, of course, was the one which I answered by writing It's Got To Be Perfect, and another has started me off writing "Alone", but that will have to wait until some of my other projects have finished.

The recs include two for me; and her delightful reviews for IGTBP and I Am The Walrus are the largest single source of referrals for my site. Plus, they are so lovely they give me a warm glow of pride every time I read them. Sometimes I just go there and look at them and gloat and go "Squeee!" And I've found some gems by following her other recs too.

So, everybody please join me in singing "Happy Birthday" to kantayra - IN COPTIC!

Sani rompi nem I=yc
Sani rompi nem I=yc
Qen bikani nem binani
Sani rompi nem I=yc

(Took me ages to find on the Net, hope it's the real thing)

Bwah! Yeah, that is, indeed, real Coptic. I think it's Bohiric. I can just make it out. "Let joy to you exist on the day of being born," I believe. *snorf* I'm way impressed you found that. Thankee. ^_^

Thank you! I'm 60 today, and I must admit: I don't feel it!

Fabulous

Kantayra is definitely wonderful, and I found you through her a couple of months ago. I've read quite a few of your stories, and today I started Life in Shadow. I was able to read the prologue, but when I went to read the subsequent chapters, I received a message saying your server couldn't be reached. Is this a normal problem? Are your stories archived anywhere else where I can read them?

Anyway, your stories are fantastic, with excellent characterization and plot, and I hope that you find time to finish your WIPs. Thanks for sharing your talent; reading your well-written stories and others like yours have helped to improve my own writing.

Best of luck to you, and keep writing!

As this is an anonymous comment I don't know if you'll see this, but thank you!

The server problem must have been temporary, it's working fine now. There are 5 chapters of "Life in Shadow" on my site so far, and it is also archived at The Sandlot, and in Memories on my LiveJournal and the spiketara community. Most of the rest of my stories are also archived at The Crypt. "Merry Sport" is archived in the LiveJournal community raresummersfic. "Pandora's Boxer" is not available anywhere apart from on my own site.
