Ah, I didn't realize the proposal would be so long and detailed. I would just make sure you know what the specific agent you're going after wants.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Heh. I gave my dad the link to the GWW LJ post with my most recent entry, because I really wanted him to read it. This is what he replied with:
Sometimes the bleak lasted longer than it should have, and I got a little anxious. Sometimes hope was an awfully small candle, providing only a firefly's glow in a downpour of doubts. Sometimes I had to contemplate the risk of being the surviving half of two, providing a safe haven so the future could happen. And there were even times when self was a moment away from dissolving into tears.
But I'm the parent! She's looking to me for everything!
Quick -- think of a ring, fall through it --

"Everything's going to be OK, punkin, it's just going to take a little longer. Did I ever tell you about when I worked for a potato rancher in Idaho, herding the spuds to market and protecting them from rustlers carrying potato mashers? No? Well, it was like this..."
Thanks for being my kid.
Love, Dad

Your dad? Awesome. He's not looking to adopt a 33 y.o., is he?
Allergies are acting up but thanks for sharing that, Jilli.

Jilli, you're dad sounds like the sweetest man.

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
I think Ima send cookies to Jilli's dad.

Damn my allergies. One Claritin is not enough. Jilli, what a wonderful man your father is.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Jilli's parents are the bomb-diggety. I only hope I give Joanna a reason to like me half as well.

Because books.
Wow. I kinda love Jilli's dad now, and I've never even met him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
SWEETEST EVER.
