ah, don't be sorry!!! I mean, it's not like not participating in the exchange would stop me abusing Ita/Shi for writing the stories that come into my crazy mind xD. I do have two...no three ideas for more ItaShi at the moment, the problem is just that I don't have the time to write them (and to be quite honest, I am sure I would have missed ALL the deadlines for the exchange)
Btw, speaking of the exchange - expect a massive review for your absolutely awesome massive story (I'll work on that as soon as I have some time to spare, promise - I'll probably have to write it in fragments and guard it in word until it's ready to be posted, but it will be there ^^)
