Birthday Thanks

[smallhobbit]

We've made it back from Budapest and I will be sharing some photos in the next few days, but in the meantime, I would like to thank everyone who has sent me good wishes for more birthday - it all helped to make my day :)

So, thank you (in no particular order) margaret_r , nagi_schwarz , debriswoman , all the lovely people at ushobwri , whocares (AO3), rusty_armour , corvidology , and dariaw 

I also received some wonderful stories from:
scfrankles Major Character Undeath
which refers back to my month of killing Watson for JWP on watsons_woes 

stonepicnicking_okapi The Shift Rota
A lovely Thorin/Bilbo AU, which picks up on my thoughts about including a shift rota in one fic I wrote, and is in a fandom she doesn't usually write, so very kind.

moth2fic Hallowe'en Changes
An original story, incorporating aspects of history, which of course is just right for me.

And finally, particular thanks to stonepicnicking_okapi and debriswoman for their amazing, and incredibly appropriate gifts.

I am glad you had a good birthday, and I enjoyed Frankles' & moth2fic's gift fic.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you - they're fun, aren't they.

[margaret_r]

Glad it was a good day for you. Loved your birthday fics, the undead Watsons were particularly enchanting*g*

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I'm delighted you liked the undead Watsons - they may yet return ;)

[howsmyenglish]

oh! I've missed your birthday!

Belated congratulations and best wishes! I hope the new year of your life will give you much pleasure!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much for your kind wishes :D

[moth2fic]

Glad you had a good birthday!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much!

A couple of years ago I removed all information about my birthday from all social media - can't remember exactly why but something to do with an article about identity theft. Anyway, I was a bit sad this year, because it was my 75th, but not sad enough to go to the bother of putting the dates back! Stupid, really, because I enjoy celebrating the birthdays of my friends!

[debriswoman]

A birthday isn’t a birthday without a complete set of undead Watsons. Such great fics to share. :-)

And re gift...you are very welcome:-)

[smallhobbit]

Precisely. They were good fics, I was delighted with them.

And thank you again - it's lovely :D

[scfrankles]

That's a very nice haul ^___^

I'd already read Okapi's lovely fic of course. I've just read moth2fic's fic - it's wonderfully vivid, isn't it? ^__^ I got really caught up in it.

[smallhobbit]

Yes, I really enjoyed the descriptions. It felt very real.

Yowser, sorry for the very bleated birthday wishes! Glad yoi had such a grabd time in Budapest and hurrah for so much birthday fic! Happy reading!

[smallhobbit]

No worries. There was no intention to prompt people to wish me a Happy Birthday, I was simply wishing to share all the good things I'd received. But thank you anyway :)

[luthienberen]

:)

I trust at least you had a scrumptious cake to celebrate with?

[smallhobbit]

Oh yes, both cake and dessert (at different times of the day).
