It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Allyson, you can use my name, any or all that you see fit, in anything you choose to write, ever. I love the way you write, and I'm honoured to be in there, and I don't use that word lightly.

Susan, that was really nice.

Crikey, I've just realised, yesterday was a bad day and I'm an idiot. erika! Check your email in a bit - I've had my edits done for you for days and I've been too something-or-other (combo of circs and physical crap) and I forgot to send it.

Please to be vibing for me, not a lot, just a bit. I'm supposed to be getting full commentary back from my agent today, on R&RNF; she loved it but has stuff she wants to talk about. I have the synopses for both. Both novels are done. And Lyssa at Morrow/Avon wants to see the full manuscript of R&RNF. And I want there to not be a lot of stuff Jenn wants done, because I love the books and I want to get this show on the road.

Always Anti-fascist!

Every vibe in the world for the internet spouse...funny, that's caught on for my local beta, too. He's always asking about "the missus" these days. Allyson, what Deb said. About being in your book. Besides I've named a character after you, anyway.(I probably should have asked first, huh? But she's a hero, so I guessed it would be all right.) Deb, not a problem. I could relate...see tag. (There's this bumper sticker a lot of disability movement people have that says that "natural" thing...to make the point that because we're different, doesn't mean there's anything to fix, nature's infinite variety and so forth..) Everytime I see one, I think of natural things that aren't all that pretty, you know?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Vibeage for Deb, writage for Allyson.

Still pondering green.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can she have a decent date, erika? I don't want to impose, really, but one of us, either fictional me or real me, should get some smoochies.

In the last book, he was decent, very hot, and married. Maybe she'll get a single one next time...

Thanks, erika. My fictional self is content.

deb, all the good karma you sent my way is spun back in your direction.

Heh. Allyson, having read your avatar's adventures in the first half of erika's first one starring her? She has no problem with the smooches. And she can have lunch with ita's fictional avatar, Domitra Calley, bodyguard to a rock star. In While My Guitar Gently Weeps, she gets herself a very pretty chewtoy, a martial arts-loving roadie named named Doug Hewlet, who is based on this guy, at least physically.

I thought ita would like him to play with.

Mmmm, chewtoy. What? Not poaching, just drooling. From the sidelines. As it were.

He's a very pretty chewtoy, I think part Maori.

ita, when shown his picture, had no objections to her avatar playing with him, and I do not mean rugby. In fact, her employer - the rock star - offers to stand outside her bedroom door and make sure no one bugs them, for a change, since protecting him from whackjobs is her usual gig, and he spends a lot of time in the bedroom with predatory ladies.
