connie, you're thanked by name in the acknowledgements. Everyone who helped is, and you're in some very good company.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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

You can bet I'm going to be pimping this book, if only to say, "See? That's me! A real author's thanking me!"

See, I thank everyone who helps, because when I'm on anything resembling a roll, the last thing I can afford to do is allow myself the time to be distracted byu all the pretty shiny side alleys researching on my own digs up. So I loves my help-friends, I do. To quote Nicholas Rev.1: "Saves a lot of work."

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
An editor asked for the full manuscript of Vampire People, and here's where I suck: I haven't completed it. I kind of gave up on it and moved on to the next thing. It's not a huge deal to complete it (once this cold subsides), but I feel like such a dick.

If I only had a brain...
YEA, ASKING FOR A FULL! WHOOPEE!
Don't worry; you'll complete it. You aren't a dick, you're somebody who (sensibly) decided to table the project to work on something new.

So this is a good thing, then? Cool. I keep having to tell people that there's no way in hell joss will blurb it. Stings.

Always Anti-fascist!
I suppose he *could*, I mean, you have met, you're not just some random bitca off the street... But smart not to count your blurbs before they hatch. And, yeah, that's a good sign.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Seriously, you could get a contact address from somewhere and ask. I mean worst you can get is a refusal or a non-reply. Since Joss is not a personal friend there is no issue of exploiting friendship. Even in the worst case, what have you lost?

Contact info isnt a problem, I sent an e out about an hour ago to ask.
I feel awful asking for anything for myself is the problem, and this is something that would get a really big NO.
Tim will blurb, Fury will as well.

Joss can damned well blurb. You put forth a huge, marathon effort to pull his pet project show out of the ashes. He won't betray his principles, chip his manicure or sprain his wrist doing it.
Yes, that sounds cranky and a bit fierce. It is. I think he owes you, and in any case, that's part of the payback for being successful at what you do: giving some of it back.
