Thank you! It's kind of funny. This started with we were going over people in our lives that could be called specific Happy Tree Friends and eventually went to which we would consider ourselves deciding that I'm Handy and he's Flaky and from that moment forward we'd always communicate as those two. Eventually the hand stealing stuff came up randomly and we played with that just as a conversation and right before Lammy showed up we decided this should be a fanfic, went to the end of that first chapter went back and wrote the beginning (up until Handy actually mentions stealing hands), the whole scene with Lifty and Shifty, and his rampage working them in and converting it to story format.
