I know this will really have no effect on your self-esteem, but for whatever it's worth, Allyson, I've seen pictures of you, and I always think, "She's so cute!" FWIW.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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
Oh, no, it's totally not about that at all. I'm so aware that small children don't point and scream and run away when i walk by.
It's a total skewed self-image thing that i don't understand myself.

I'm with ya, Allyson. I've only got one picture I really like of me and it was taken when I was drunk. For once, my mouth wasn't flapping.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
My mouth is always open in pix. And not in that sexy, pouty way, either.
I'm always horrified by pix, but I just think that to get the true full-on Erin, you gotta get the living, breathing, snarking full-body-slam, smoooth-assed deal.
Plus. double chin in my pix. ALWAYS.

I can't stop giggling. One of my nicknames is Pixie/Pix, and I kept thinking Erin was talking about me.
"Hey, I don't have a double chin! Slandering hussy!"

Why don't I take more good photos? Usually bright light squint, I'd have to say.

Photos of me, I always look stoned. Or my face is at just the right angle for my nose to look HUGE.

Hee. I tend to stick my chin out and then I look like Jay Leno. Ewww.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
My face always looks red and I get the wonderful double-chin thing going as well unless I position my head perfectly in relation to the camera. Which pretty much means I only like pictures taken of me once in a blue moon or unless I take them myself, take 20 different shots and then toss out the 19 that thoroughly suck and keep the one that's tolerable. I also have a tendency to end up with my mouth open or my eyes closed most of the time, sometimes both for added dork factor.

Question for those of you who have worked with editors.
What can I expect? Are there rules of etiquette? Am i allowed to argue if I think something the editor wants is wrong?
I'm unsure what the politics/nature of the relationship between author/editor is.
