Wow, my respect, Lady Dragonfly. I already liked to read your posts in general because of their wit, clarity and humour, but I especially enjoyed these story's; you really have a talent for writing these! Normally, story's like these turn out cheesy (mostly in use of words), but you really got both the vocabulary, as the originality of the story right. Keep 'em coming, I really would be interested to read more of those.
Which kinda brings me to my second point: I've started a new three-way Icewind Dale party, and I really like the characters, but they do not have a background yet. I have some ideas about their personality, but I know that I could never write a good, original story on all three of them, especially not in English. If I would give you a few personality ideas on the three of them, would you care to write the background stories? I can understand if you don't have the time or don't feel like it, so just decide however you want, I will hear it. If you decide to do it, don't feel any time pressure, you can take as long and relaxed as you would like to.
Cheers,
