wait, what?

I know, I know, you're shocked! But beneath this girly exterior beats a heart that not only likes the GIRLS, it likes the girls who look like boys! And the girls who are boys! And likes to dress like a boy! SO CONFUSING! I don't blame you if you give up and swoon into my arms, right here...I'll comfort you. I promise. :)

Trudy, here's all the Salon letter you will ever need, covering all the possible Salon letters bases, so now you never need to go back (unless you want to read the Glenn Greenwald letters, which are usually pretty intelligent):

What about the poor divorced men? What about the suffering of the Duke University students? Why doesn't Salon's blog about women's issues talk more about men's rights? What about those Zionists? What about the right wing medialopolocracy? Why are you all such nuts? Why are you all so painfully bourgeois and mainstream? You breeders make me sick, and anyhow now your kid's life is ruined since you went and mentioned in a parenting column that you actually ARE A PARENT, OMG the withering glare of the endless publicity will kill him. Anyhow, you'll all be sorry when I leave your feminocratic shores to move to Uzbekistan and find a REAL woman who can appreciate a REAL man, not like you American harpies!

In conclusion, wah wah wah!

Did I miss anything?

Particularly if you put on some Polo.

I was flipping the channels and happened upon a bit part of Paul Blackthorne (Harry Dresden) speaking in his normal british accent. Mmmmmmmmm.

Also, one of the editors will be making a blog post next monday about the five most common mistakes or problems in the submissions they saw.

I hope I mostly made uncommon mistakes.

I'd feel the same, but OTOH if you made the common mistakes, the blog will probably give hints as to how to fix them.

I have keys to my new apartment!!! I have to pick colors to paint it. What goes with red couches?

Woohoo for keys! What shade of red?

They're pretty much....bright IKEA esque red. I'm thinking maybe an orange wall...I have an orange rug...but then what should I do the bedrooms? Something soothing? Or something bright, for the Seattle winter?

Well crap Sean. I'll play it, if you want to run it on FG.

Otherwise, I've got nothing except picspam...but it's not of Mal: [link]

(It's our friend India and a goat).

Good point. I'm looking forward to reading the post. I already have a list of several things I could have done better. I'm sure I can apply the lessons to the next submission. The company says they want to do at least one open call a year. Plus this has helped kick start my creativity, so I'll be looking for other things to submit until then.

Orange, Meara, or maybe a chocolate brown or a khaki.

Well crap Sean. I'll play it, if you want to run it on FG.

We'll get this arranged for sure.

I've been reading the other rejected submissions that people have posted, and I can only imagine how good the good stuff was. I'm in very good company with the rejects. I do not envy the editors the job they had winnowing these down.
