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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
In that case, I'd love to take a look at it for you.

Betsy, want to read the first chunk and tell me if you think I'm going in the right direction? They aren't only looking for traditional romance stories; I posted the link in Susan's livejournal, but here it is again:

Deb, I'd be happy to look at it if you still want betas next week--this week is probably the craziest one I'll have this side of labor & delivery.

I'm looking at my very own bright shiny gallery page at Readerville, and blinking at it.
I'm still getting used to the differences between being published Before WWW and After WWW.

Deb, I'll be glad to read it too, if you like.
