Fay, I don't know how many beta readers you need, but I do read a lot of children's and young adult books. I think of them and mysteries as the last bastions of the plot. It is possible that they are just the last bastions of plots I can follow, but I try not to think about that. I've been reading "kids, buried treasure and magic" books since I was tiny E. Nesbit reader.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Fay, I'd be happy to help out if you still need it. I love children's lit and still read it frequently.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Huzzah! So I should really get on with writing, rather than brainstorming, yes?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Fay! Another hand up over here. If you please, miss.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Psst, Teppy, you have birthday greetings elsewhere....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Much vibage for you and Nic, deb, for you deserve all good things.
