Damn - that's one I honestly can't answer with any certainty, because, again, fiction is different. My take would be to make one up, and include it, up front with the acknowledgements, etc; if your agent/editor decides it doesn't need to be there, they can always take it out, yes?
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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

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
Glad you enjoyed it, Cindy!

I bet this means you've finished, Allyson. If so, congrats!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's fabulous Allyson! I hope you slept the sleep of the well-accomplished.
