lolz!  My creative writing teacher says that I am good at writing "teenage boy interactions".  I think it's a mix of the youth and the fact that I have three older brothers.  I hope I won't lose that with age, though.

As for my older works...  Thirteen Is a Strange Age for All isn't abandoned, per se-- I still think that I might get back to it at some point in time, when I'm a little less busy--but it's not really in the works.  The others, however--  Evan, Lost Boy, and Burnt Out-- are all still very much in the workings.  Sorry if future chapters suck, though.  I was sick for a chunk of time this past year and my updates were so irregular that I fear my betas gave up on me :).  No worries, though.  I'm sure y'all will tell me if I write something awful. 

haha.  No worries.  I guess it's pretty obvious I'm not Brittish--I'm from Maine (USA).  I'll try to remember to use the word fringe in the future--I didn't actually know that was a Brit thing.  I had noticed that people used that word, but as unfamiliar as bangs was to you when you first read it, that's how I felt about the word "fringe".  To me, fringe ought to have something to do with fabric.  It seems weird to use that to describe hair.  I'll adjust though :p.  I'll try to remember to edit that out of this chappie in a bit.  I actually thank you for commenting on that--too many people let the britishisms go when that's one of the things I need to get a handle on to make my fics seem believable.

 As for making out, I haven't any idea if it's like snogging.  I've never used that word in my life, and I've only really heard it once on an episode of Gilmore Girls.  It means kissing or something, right?  Making out, as far as I can tell (I've only had one serious boyfriend, so maybe it has a technical meaning) is... kissing for a really long time.  Like, when you need to come up for air after.  But... they don't use that term in Britain either?  I wouldn't have known that.  Of course, it took me forever to learn that "garden" means yard to you guys.  I kept imagining little Harry running through Snapes flowers or something and I was like "how is he not getting in trouble for this?".  Haha. 

 Thanks for the review!  Will try to have another chapter up soonish, but you can never tell with me.
