I'm so glad you're enjoying all the flavors here! Oswin must have a gravitational pull or something. I never dreamed he would be such a favorite.
Thank you dear, I do try to pace myself to avoid burnout. Reading other IFs really helps with that, I find. It's one of my biggest joys, and I want to hold on to it. You are very welcome. I look forward to bringing you more to enjoy. ^_^
(And no worries, you absolutely do not need to apologize . Your English is great, and you already use more languages than the average native English user - and you use it better than most, I would wager.)
