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

Dana, sounds good. Do you need me to email the updated version to you, as a word attachment?

Category: drama

Rating: PG13 (nothing particularly slashy in here, and the dirtiest word I can remember is "shag" or "bloody")

I honestly don't think it has anything that needs a warning; I tend to imply rather than describe.

Summary? As in, short synopsis/blurb thing?

Lordy, if I started thanking beta readers individually, I'd need a gigabyte. Just a general thanks to all who read and all who have yet to read. And my appreciation for appreciating Amanda Lisle, since I know introducing her was entirely against all canon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Summary? As in, short synopsis/blurb thing?

Yeah, just a couple sentences explaning what it's about. As straightforward or oblique as you want. I'll also go take a look at Kate Bolin's site History Lesson, because it definitely belongs there too.

And I can attach sf_deb@yahoo.com to it?

Yup. Not sure what else is needed, but there's my website if that's needed at all: [link]

Summary: ok, how's this?

Amanda Lisle, always a powerful witch, once a Slayer, was put permanently out of action by her lover, Watcher in training Rupert Giles, many years ago. In her floating witch's refuge, Le Perdu, she has gravitated to Sunnydale. This introduction of Amanda chronicles her emergence from self-imposed solitude, as she helps Buffy deal with the menace of Glorificus.

Got it. Marked. I probably won't get to this until tomorrow.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I am such a technodweebiehead. Without help, even the most basic software would steal my underpants.

Step Three? Profit!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Roz Kaveny! Dayum!

Weird bit of six degrees-ness--one of the authors I archive is betaed by Roz Kaveny. Which is immensely cool. Because, Roz.

My moment of "Holy shit" was getting Sandman 6 (Brief Lives, right?Edit: or not) and seeing one of the stories dedicated to Roz.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Which is immensely cool. Because, Roz.

wrod. Bought Gaiman's Fables and Reflections t'other day, and was jolted to see that it's dedicated to nine people, including Roz. Which was cool.

weird ass cross post

heh. I'm awaiting an email back, to give me Roz's current email addy. yahoo tried to a Spinal Tap-drummer on me a few months back and most of my addy list was devoured.

Dana, good grief, anytime at all is fine.

BTW, mild gloat: I just went down to get the mail and awaiting me via Priority was the complete manuscript of Marta Randall's new book, which I get to check over and do beta on. (gloat gloat gloat)

Because I don't read a lot of scifi, and Islands is still one of my favourites in the genre.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Deborah, Nic and Marty would definitely remember Camille who was too often an island of sanity amid a sea of yammerheads.
