Okay, good. I wasn't really getting a strong anti-gay vibe from you there, but I'm quick to defend those sorts of things, as I'm sure you've noticed. No need to apologize. :)

You'll notice that nothing happens that fast in this story! It might be excruciatingly slow in some cases, but I completely agree with you about letting things develop over time in a natural way. I completely agree about chemistry too, and it's not always so easily reciprocated either. Like the thing between Tank and Ophelia.

I very much like to see the development of relationships over time, and I love all types of complicated relationships. That's why the Grunts appeal to me so much as a family. There is so much going on there between them.

I couldn't agree with you more.
