Hullo! I've put the next chapter of 'Changes' up on my site.
And i have...i dunno...notes?

First, there is some Spanish in this chapter...Derio speaks! Hee.
The thing is, i have no real clue if it's RIGHT. I asked a Spanish speaker to traanslate for me but he admited his Spanish was 'rusty', so... If it's totally, completely, HORRIBLY wrong, for the love of all that's...unholy, TELL ME! I hate to think anyone who can speak the language is reading it thinking 'god, what a moron!'. Or feeling insulted 'cause i mangled their native tongue. Also, Derio is from Puerto Rico, so if that makes a big difference i'd like to know.

There is also a little bit of home-made Santeria in here. It's probably not 'right' right, but i'm thinkin' the boi is a bit like my friends and i when it comes to our own practices - take what you like from all sources and make it work, and don't worry about the 'structure' imposed by others. Unless it'd get you killed.
'Eclectic' is the word. So, please don't be upset if Santeria is your relision of choice - we mean no disrespect! And would welcome input!!
Anyway - enjoy!

And Julia again: after that quibble, I want to say to you what I've said before to others: when I read "Letters" I thought you *were* from here, so you mostly get things right and the ways in which you evoke place, accurately and with grace, are right up there with the $65 a bottle smut as reasons I read your fics in preference to most other writers.

So, how's the sequel to "Little Runaway" coming"?
