Sent to both of you. We are net-o-phonic.
Message received. I'll be reading it tonight, in and out of the essay that's suddenly burning at my mind.
I think I may have developed Obsessive Writing Disorder this week...
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

Hey. New board.
I've been tempted to volunteer about six times, but not much for the beta reading (no practice at it) so restraining. I'll wait 'til I can buy it in book form.
Looking forward to it, though.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
An amusing note is that I mentioned the project in my livejournal, and knotted_rose, who as it turns out is married to one of the editors, is laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and...

Deb-I'm starting with feedback now -- I missed earlier if this is a complete draft or if there's more to come. Knowing that will make a big difference in how I read it and what my responses are.
Really enjoying it, by the way. Lots of good stuff to scribble in the margins!

It's about 2/3 done, maybe a bit more; there's still an apocalypse to unleash, remember.

Okay good. I assumed so, but then decided that editing and assuming are always a bad combination. Better to ask.

This is going to be serial, because stuff is moving around.
Crossposted from Fic, because this covers both. I am a happy, pleased woman.
Crossposting with Great Write, because I am an excited woman.
Roz Kaveney had the livejournal "post something you'd like to do with me" meme, and I posted, "co-write something."
She said yes, please, in the short term, this is absolutely something we can do together. What follows:
Me: SQUEEE! I'm completely and totally open. Do you fancy a joint fic, or some genuine fiction together?
Roz: Yes, and yes. We should do a fic together as a way of finding out how collaboration between us works. How about post-Chosen, post S3 BtVS/Six Feet Under crossover?
We should try and write something serious together.
Dude. I get to write with Roz Kaveney. This makes yet one more cool writer I'm working with!
edit: Oh, and I got a card from my copy editor! Turns out Ruth at St. Martin's forwarded her my "thank you I love this person I want to work with them again" note, and she wrote me back. Her name is Anne Adelman, she's a Brit living in the US and married to an American, and she wants "Matty Groves". Woot!
