ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I am 21 years old and have just graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University with an honours degree in Marketing and Communication. What I really want to do though is write, that has been my lifelong dream. I am the kind of person who could happily spend my entire life sitting at a computer, writing story after story - of course, that doesn't mean they'll be any good, but practice makes perfect. . .supposedly. I would appreciate any feedback and criticism regarding this story, its not as if I'm going to see any of you face to face! [July 2001]

"Hi there once again Paula, as I've been saying for months now (though my evil twin brother Tyrant seems to disagree with), in reviews upon all of your romantic stories, I think you are one of the best romantic writers on Storymania (and no that's not a pick-up line... honest). You didn't seem to be very interested in my proposal to head-up my romantic/heroic fantasy world project, which was contained in the e-mail package I sent you awhile back, but that's okay, I will still continue to respond favorably to your work as long as you continue to do it with the quality I have come to expect and respect. Just one question. What is a 18-30 package holiday? Does that mean 18-30 days? It isn't necessary to put what it means in the story, it's just for my own curiosity. As always, your partner in crime across the Pond, EC Allen." -- EC Allen.
"It wasn't that I wasn't interested, I just didn't have the time, I am a fourth year uni student! Anyway, an 18-30 package holiday is one for 18-30 year olds, which basically both males and females go on if they want to get laid. there's a lot of desperate people out there! I just assumed it was a universal kinda thing! Anyway, thanks for the review!" -- Paula.
" Alright. Crystal clear now, thank-you." -- EC Allen.
