No problem! I'm super impressed with your writing -- you really get into the characters' heads, and your writing style is really natural and works perfectly. If that makes any sense, haha. They were really enjoyable to read (and I read them both more than once!).
I like writing, but I'm not very creative, unfortunately. For a school assignment I actually did a Niels fanfic from Thomas' point of view, but it definitely needs a few more re-writes. xD

Thank you so much for the compliments! I'm really glad you enjoyed the stories so much.
But I don't feel like I'm very creative either - that's why I prefer fanfic. I don't have to come up with the characters or situations. 
I like writing when I feel like it's working, but that doesn't happen very often. The muses were just smiling on me when it came to these two stories. Right now I've got three other half-started Niels fanfics that I just can't seem to get anywhere with, so who knows if they'll ever see the light of day.
That sounds like an awesome way to deal with a school assignment! I really like Thomas as a character. If you post it I would love to read it!

Same here -- probably most of the stories I write are fanfics. I did have an idea yesterday for a character (which is still fanfic-y, since it's an agent from the Niels universe), so I'm going to see if I can do anything with that.
I hope they do eventually, I'd love to read more of your writing! 
We had to write a story with an ironic twist ending, so what I ended up writing about was... "What if Thomas had to come out of 'retirement' to save Niels?" XD The main problem with it is that most of it is explaining things that already happened in the comics, since my teacher/classmates had never read them. But I'll let you know if I post it!

I definitely want to get back to writing (for fun) at some point! And I'll definitely post any stories I finish here.
The Thomas fanfic sounds really fun - I hope you do post it eventually. And I'd like to read it if you do end up doing anything with the other idea!

Cool - I'm Also located there - just didn't bother jumping through hoops to naturalise (I'm English so didn't really need to but I do speak the language etc.

I'm American by birth and I got tired of the prospect of having to jump through IND's hoops every five years. But I agree, if you're EU to begin with there's not really much need.

I can understand that - much easier for me, I just fill in a form, send it in and that's it

It's interesting that you even need to fill in a form - I always assumed that, because of the right of free movement, just registering with the gemeente when you move would have been sufficient.

Nah - all "Aliens" need a permit to prove the IND know they are legally there. I generally use mine as ID for just about everything instead of my passport etc. (oddly enough nobody checks the expiry date or I'd have know it had expired years ago lol)

But that's the thing - I'm surprised that EU citizens count as "aliens". You learn something new every day!

It probably has something to do with the tentacles and googly eyes etc
