Oh my goodness that was fast! I'm seriously honored. Gosh. Um, we've actually spoken before on Pokecommunity, years ago -- I am like the world's biggest fan of Aftershock, and you were nice enough to review a shitty fic of mine that never got past three chapters or so. Anyway! Speaking of Aftershock (and I apologize if you don't want to be reminded -- I know your newer stuff is proportionately way better, but --) I think the whole concept of assimilation heightening would be a perfect fit for Orre, for the tone I'm going for, and for the characters I plan on introducing. In fact, it's one of the things I'm more excited about when it comes to writing my silly story -- it is just that wonderful an idea! So I hope you don't mind me borrowing it, and I hope my mediocre writing can do it justice.
(Assuming I get that far. I am only a few pages into chapter two at the moment. Fingers crossed and all that. I at least plan to continue.)
I'll admit, I've often wondered about you over the years. Where has your life taken you? I hope it's been nothing but good.
