I hope all the elements you wanted are included in sufficient quality. I had wanted to do more of a balance between the religious and secular (because Kurt's background lends to it so well) but that did not come out as strong as I liked and, in the end, I settled for more smut and less depth. LOL It was forced in a few places, and hopefully the fact that I wrote it over a few weeks means that consistency is not torn to pieces. So if you see something horribly wrong, feel free to call me on it. But I definitely enjoyed trying to make Logan both dislike Christmas and like it enough to try and pull Kurt into the spirit of it.

I honestly think I went way overboard with the spanking element. *blushes* And I apologize profusely for that. It was like a snowball that started rolling that I could not stop. Therefore, I am afraid, there's less sneezing and more "plot" that I had intended. But I hope that you like it anyway. I'm rather worried you won't... worried but hopeful I guess I am. Oh, and this is, I realized halfway through the story, my first attempt at ever actually writing a full sex scene with the two of them! So I'm slightly nervous about that, as well. But I hope I'm just over-worrying and that you end up enjoying this :-)

HP!

What a lovely Yule gift :-)
JKR announced an hour and a half ago that 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' is scheduled to hit shelves July 16! WHOOHOO!

I'm going to be devistated to see this series end. And I'm going to throw the stinking book across the room if she kills off my Remus this time around *shakes fist in warning*

I know the whole "who is going to die" thing will influence this, just the way it did with OotP. Not only the wondering who it will be, but the debates and everything everywhere and that pre-known fact that will make it the one thing I can't help but read for. Which makes me rather sad, as it did for OotP. I couldn't really enjoy the first read the first time, since the whole time I was thinking "this is the book where a main character dies". So I'm going to have to think of some way NOT to be like that this time around, especially as HBP will be significantly shorter than OotP.

Anyhoo... I'm excited! Is it July yet?
