Thank you! Yeah, I first encountered otome novels two or so years ago and I've been very impressed with how much can be done with the genre.

It's been great to get to know you here. I was briefly in Due South many years ago under a previous fannish ID, but I don't think we interacted there. I didn't write (or ship) either of the main pairings, I was mostly interested in the magical realism and the worldbuilding.
