i will believe you and take that as a compliment.

i'm glad i'm not alone.

You're probably asking who I am. Well, my name is Mariana and I'm brazilian.
I read the fanfiction you wrote called High School Wet Dream.

I just love the history! You're such a good writer.
The ending was just perfect. And I'd appreciate a sequel *-* but it's up to you, of course.
I'd really like to translate the fic, if you let me.
