Okay, I am SUCH a wanker. I just realized exactly HOW behind in replies I really am, and gosh - I'm a total bastard.
Now, normally, recognizing what a bastard I am, I'd try to make up for it by now replying to all the replies that I have missed. I hope, however, that all of you will forgive me if I don't. I'm going to skip the replies to number 20, except to say that I Lub You All, Too ... and to say that I've read every last comment and I really appreciate how wonderful you all are about dropping notes to tell me when you liked something.
Hopefully, the fact that I'm skipping the Vignette #20 comments to go work on Lingering Darkness will score me some points.
And now, replies to your replies concerning Vignette #21 - The Saga of Tara's Boobies.
**Nutty Girl: Heh ... I actually had kind of figured this particular vignette would have that affect on people's workdays *G*
**Autumn: I'm always a good little lesbian. Flannel was a must. And yes - Xander liked your boobies ... now live with the horrror. *G* And you loved being a contestant - admit it. Because, yes, Xander may have actually verbally commented, but Willow clapped and cheered.
**LeatherQueen: Why, thank you. And I have to admit, I was pretty much cracking myself up with all the "boobies" talk *snicker* Once I had figured out all the logistics of exactly how one puts Tara in a wet t-shirt contest, it was really fun and fairly easy to write *G*
**TX: And the boobies like you
**VampNo12: So did you? Dream of Tara's boobies? Enquiring minds want to know.

And thank you - I'm really glad you liked it. And god, that's exactly how I imagined their expressions on that last exchange.
**mollyig: Heh ... happy to be of service *G*
**Willowfan: I have to admit, the idea of Tara in a wet t-shirt was all Autumn and xita ... I just ran with it. Or, given how long it took me to post this, ambled. Strolled casually. Gamboled. Moseyed, even.
**Shinnen: Oops ... should I have given a "do not sit in a chair that has no back or arms and eat oreos while reading this fic" warning? Glad you enjoyed it *G*
**ensam: Heh ... thank you *G* I love a "wow". And thank you for de-lurking - I love that, too *G*
**MadeinNZ: *G* Thanks! I rather enjoyed it myself

God, being the writer is cool sometimes *G*
**Miss1234Kitty: Awwww ... I hope you feel better - but enjoy the update. Glad I could provide a silver lining for your sick day.
**Web Warlock: Oh, this mind is capable of all sorts of twisted things. But it's best I don't go into detail on that

Glad you had a soundtrack - and yes, Willow and Tara are very lucky Xander didn't pick an amateur strip night. Or, more accurately, that xita and Autumn didn't pick stripping.
**Grimaldi: Oh, wow ... "hooray for boobies" is just about one of the most profound things I've ever heard in my entire life - because it's so true, and so needs to be said. Hooray for Boobies! If I ever run for public office, that will be my platform. "America - Where Over Half of the Population Has Boobies, and Isn't That Cool?" But thank you - I'm glad it was worth the wait *G*
**tkheaven: Oh, God - the Boobies Avatar. Mmmmm..... And God, what a great phrase *G* But I didn't put Ruth in because she wasn't egging me on in chat like xita and Autumn were. In fact, Ruth, being British and therefore awake and asleep at the wrong times, wasn't even there. Dammit.
**zero: Very true - but I don't think I want to get into that, either
**capricornmist: Thank you *G* I'm glad you liked it!
**Kieli: Heh ... I hope your monitor enjoyed its Minute Maid Shower. And thank you - for your comments here and in chat *G*
**NewRuthRising: Yes, you're very butch *G* Glad I could make you smile - sorry about the ouchies.
**Puff: Thanks! And Buffy. Buffy doesn't like boobies. I mean, she isn't like, "Death to all Boobies", but she's not all "Yay! Boobies!" either.
**bulldog tidnab: Heh ... I'm glad I could make you laugh - I hope you didn't hurt yourself falling out of the chair. And thank you very much - love you too *G*
**Tulipp: *snicker* Yeah, I loved those things, too *G* And yes, it was inspired - by Autumn and xita, in fact *G*
**tiyodragon: Why, thank you - I didn't realize I had awesome boobies talent, but I'll take it
**Rally: Heh ... thanks *G* I had no idea sitting around in chat minding my own business would bring up such naughty topics *G* Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
**little wicca dude: Reminded you of a past event, huh? Why do I suddenly want to hear this story? *G* But thank you - I'm glad you liked it *G*
**tommo: Gee, thanks, Ruth. I like buckets of water. And boobies. We can't forget the boobies.
**Jennpurr: Heh heh heh ... thank you *G* Though, I'm not sure when I'll have #22 up, but I have a few ideas kicking around in my head *G*
**darkmagicwillow: Of course Tara won! She has the most glorious boobies in all of Sunnydale *G* And thank you - I'm glad you liked it.
**CaptMurdock: Gosh, thanks *G* And Good Lord - mud wrestling? LOL! Very nice *G*
**witchbitchwillow: Ooooh, yes - mental images and talk of boobies. Two things that are near and dear to my heart. *G* Thank you *G*
**xita: Of course I got you back. I'm the writer. And I'm an Evil Genius. I'm reasonably sure at least three people said that on the AD thread, and once three people say something, it's true. But thank you - I had lots of fun writing it. And you and Autumn tied for second. There is No Way In Hell I'm letting either one of you have second by yourself. That's just asking for trouble.
**Autumn: See? Trouble.
-Sass
