I'm so flattered that you're putting so much effort in writing a fic for me!!! ♥ Given the superb quality of your work, I'm sure I will love it to bits. I don't care how long it takes, seriously. Just as long as you don't get too stressed out over it and don't neglect your uni work because of it, alright?
As far as your command of the English language goes, rest assured that, if you took the Proficiency (CPE) exam now, you would put many native speakers to shame. Why don't you try to give it a go when you've finished your uni work? As I told you, if you know what to expect from it, it's not a difficult exam at all, and I can realistically tell you that you've got the potential to score very high. :)
Re: Massive Angst Overdose Epic, etc. You know, I was thinking about you last night, my dear kink-twin. While I was dusting off some old books that I wanted to re-read, I found an interesting novel called 'Where is the Mango Princess?' (yeah, stupid original title, but the plot is interesting) by American writer Cathy Crimmins. Based on the true story of her family, it deals with the aftermath of the traumatic event (a boat accident) that caused her husband to be seriously brain damaged, explaining how the whole family learned to cope with his conditions, both from the physical and psychological point of view, and eventually understood that he couldn't go back to be the same man he was before the accident, but rather had to find a new balance based on his new conditions and personality, and they had to re-build their relationship with him practically from scratch. As far as I remember, it was a good book. I plan to re-read it in the next few weeks and jot down some useful ideas for my angsty & brain-damaged!Sam fic. Of course, I'll share all this info with you, so that one day we can happily resume our kinky, Sam-whumping discussions with more food for thought! *g*
