Believe me, Lilac, you deserve the plug. Very few people on the wiki use novel format for competition stories (the standard being a script narrative format), so the fact that you write in novel style--more to the point, you do it well--makes you a rare and precious commodity here.

As for the characters' descriptive phrases, you've read part of TDI-G&S, so you know that I've had some fun with that. (Calling Lindsay "the uberbimbo" seems especially popular.) One of my personal favorites is a riff on Heather's "queen bee" archetype and the "dark lord" villain type: when she's planning/doing something underhanded, I call her "the Dark Queen". I also have fun calling Owen things like "the Jolly White Giant".

As for writing vs. reading, I have a laptop, so I will always have my bus commutes and lunch breaks to work on LTDI, so I mainly wanted guidance on how I should spend that portion of my evenings and weekends that isn't spent in actually having a life.

P.S.: "Nitpicky" is totally a real word.
