The story was locked to private, actually, right around the time that I friended you and you friended me back -- I'd been having fits for a while about whether this fic was any good or not, and your Hornblower writing is some of my favorite fandom writing in recent memory, so I was terrified that you would read this and think I was a COMPLETE MORON who MUTILATED SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS and that I needed to be KEPT OUT OF YOUR FANDOM BY VIOLENT MEANS IF NECESSARY.
And I'm glad the rules had a good effect. I always worry that if I post them public, people will take them the wrong way, but yeah. Bush/Hornblower is such a soppy sentimental favorite of mine that if I didn't have a set of personal commandments, I'd end up writing about Bush getting up to sing "The Wind Beneath My Wings" at a cabaret club and dedicating this very special tune to a very special captain.
