I don't remember that paragraph. Maybe I should go reread it myself.

Thank you! There's a fair amount of personal subtext to the icon, which I could explain if you're willing to hear it.

I'm actually puttering around with DPS fic at this very moment. Go right ahead. =)

About two years ago I had a dream that involved, among other things, twin boys "played" by Neil and Todd that were my sons, and I called them "my gosling children." It stuck with me in a way that most dreams don't, and I kept thinking about the boys and the plot of the dream, which had to do with flight and finding them after a long separation. Later I asked someone to make an icon of the two of them with 'goslings' on it.

Much later, I used the dream as the base of the end product of my creative writing class.

Ohh, the geese.

That's really neat--I love it when dreams linger long enough to actually make sense once you wake up. I've had so many that I've thought, while dreaming them, would make excellent stories, but it's almost never quite as interesting once I'm awake and trying to piece everything back together. I've also never taken a creative writing class, though it's crossed my mind. I think at this point I'm not quite brave enough to go there.

Yes, the geese. They make for good metaphors.

What helped me the most about my writing classes were having set deadlines and talking to people face-to-face about what I'd written. I'll probably join a writer's group and get the exact same benefits without worrying about my GPA.
