She smiled and said, in New York accent, "That I am, Blondie. Heard you were doin' the deed with the nasty that got me."
Oh, again, dear.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

re: the feedback discussion. Did we ever decide on the etiquette of bad feedback? The story was SO CLOSE, but blew it in the characterization. Well, and the plot. And I actually do want to say, "Gosh, I wish I hadn't read that." But I'm thinking silence on the matter is the best answer.

Did we ever decide on the etiquette of bad feedback?
Personally? I'd say don't do it.
It's one thing if parts of a story really work for you, to send a LoC with what worked/what didn't spelled out, but if you'd rather have not read it, I'd venture to say leave well enough alone.

If it's that bad, I'd go with silence. If I liked it except for some characterization issues, or a particular plot twist, I'd send positive feedback and ask if they want more indepth comments/criticism.
Unless it's someone I know won't mind if I get a little critical.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Yes indeedy, that's a cute story. I'd already harvested part for my current tagline.

It hasn't been put up anywhere yet. Kita'll let the world know when she does.

Oh-- thank you. So there are no more specific guidelines?
Fabulous and shiny.
Is it bad if three out of the five of mine are heavily based on sex?
