Someone tell me to quit reading the deals on Publisher's Marketplace. It only depresses me and makes me think I'll be gray and infirm before another contemporary women's fic will be bought that doesn't involve a murdered or terminally ill child.
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Stop, Barb. It does hurt, I know.
I think we should do a Buffistas short story anthology and go Lulu on it, though. We certainly have enough talent.

Because books.
God, that would be FUN. I would totally do that.
And we should really put together a link of all the Buffista authors and books somewhere, which someone asked about in Natter, I think, or maybe Lit, a few days ago.

Yeah. But who has time to be the volunteer editor? WE ARE ALL TOO BUSY AND NEED VACATIONS.
ASSCAPS for emphasis.

Oh, I would do it. I'm an excellent editor.
No Rainman jokes, please.
(But only if I could write a story, too.)

Hmmmmm.
I sense a plan brewing....

Me, too.
Hmmm.

Ooooo, I like where this thread is going.

Right?
I've been pondering all day. When I was supposed to working, but pondering was more fun.

It seems like an epic project to edit, though.
