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

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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]

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Orange, Meara, or maybe a chocolate brown or a khaki.

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.

Sort of a tomato red? I think it looks good with a khaki, or even sort of a 70's Harvest Gold.
