Yep. Thanks again...it was your " Thunk" that put my fevered brain on this path. I might have had to...suffer with these images alone, otherwise.Go ahead and send to my profile...earthlink is not cooperating attachment-wise for some mysterious reason. Maybe John Wilkes Booth had a hand in it.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Will send in about two minutes. One question, before I save - I've cleaned up the formatting and line spacing, and changed the *insert* to italics. Would you like a clear separation between the sections (I use line space, * * * and then another line space on mine)?

Thanks. That would be fine. This is a rite of passage, isn't it. A year and a half from "Why would anyone want to do that?" to peddling smut of my very own. Buffistahood. It...changes people.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Erika, I confess. I stole my tag from you.

erika - question numero dos. I'm doing a final pass on it, and found a paragraph where the POV changes. Can I change one "he" to "Munch", to show who is doing the talking? it's here:
"Kay, if you need to talk about it...I'm here for you." No way. Sunnydale's answer to Phil Donahue was not going to support Kay out of her panties, like the beautiful and glamorous but obviously extremely needy Faith. Still, she was nubile...or did somebody with that kind of practice at kissing no longer fit "nubile"? He wasn't sure.
I'd like to change that final "he" to "Munch wasn't sure. Because his POV goes on into the next bit:
"Thanks, Tim, but I'm OK. It's just a..rude awakening, that's all. You know, you start out as one person, then you turn around one day, and you're somebody else." That's my girl, Munch thought. Resist Heathcliff.

Me and my Bayliss-voice. And the significant...pauses. But somehow, it doesn't come off Shatnerish when he does it. Thanks, Deena. Deb, I can't believe I missed that. My internal editor must be on the monkey crack. Definitely fix it.

Fixed. Filing as a word doc - will attach and send to your profile addy. Can you look it over and tell me any changes you want, before I do a text-only version and send to Dana?
EDIT: BTW, 7200 words.

But of course.ETA: Damn! over unbelievable word count. It's not the longest I've ever written, the longest I finished though, by far.

And go you, on the finishing and the 7200 words and what's more important, every last fucking one of them being primo.

Thanks. That means a lot. It was sort of weird to have my mom tell me the same thing the other day. Not because she doesn't like my work...she does, beyond all reason, even, but, let's just say a different side to my ability.
