Thanks for the welcome and again, at the risk of overdoing it, I really did appreciate your stories, they were lovely :-)
Would I have I run across any of your work? In all honesty, probably not, not unless you were an active Internet reader circa 1995-1998. That's how long I've been scribbling all over the web. The vast majority of my stuff is confessional and self-published. I ran an experimental "zine" of sorts called Colors (http://colors.kia.net/) that people seemed to like (and that probably won't work as designed now, it was aimed at 90's-era browsers) and a number of other smaller things that I've since retired.
My one attempt at submitting work for pay resulted in a sale at Clean Sheets. So my acceptance record is good, if not my volume. I sold it under a pseudonym and I'm surprised I did, because it's overwrought and not my best work. But it's over here (http://www.cleansheets.com/fiction/mentis_01.18.06.shtml) if you're curious.
I'd count me in the writer-wannabe category. I'm trying to get it together enough to publish more often than once a decade, hence the group membership, market-watching and perhaps common LJ-friends.
