That seems like an awful long time, Gud. Is it an exchange, or was this just someone who said, "Hey, I'll read it when I get a chance"?

No, not an exchange, hence the not wanting to be pushy. It's the "I'll read it when I get a chance" scenario. So, you know, I'd be happy with "I haven't had a chance, maybe after the Holiday season", or "I'm just not going to have time." I'd just like to know it's not from holding back.
I'm sort of 1 of 3 on exchanges.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, Amy ! The idea of zombie teen romance makes me happy.
Eta: if it's me, Gud, I just haven't been able to get to it but I still hope to...

I'm referring to a couple of non-buffista beta readers, but thanks for letting me know.

I just know I'm behind and feel bad about it. But as to your actual question, I don't think it's bad form for you to ask if they are still reading it, there's always the possibility that an e-mail full of comments has gone astray somehow and if you don't ask, how will you know?

Please don't feel bad, I understand being busy, and you're doing me a favor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Go Amy! Zombie romance has been ignored for too long in this world of vampire romance and werewolf romance!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay Amy, and woohoo!
And yay and woohoos for Barb, as well!

Gud, I swear, it's on the top of my list. I just want to be able to get more than one chapter at a time back to you. It's so much easier to get a feel for the narrative flow with multiple chapters, but then it's finding the time to read. But soon, I promise. And I'm sorry for the lag, meanwhile.

Congrats to Barb & Amy! Go Buffista authors!

Gud, I swear, it's on the top of my list.
I'm really serious when I say don't feel bad and don't hurry up just for me. Also, you gave me some chapters not all that long ago.
