Oh, it's just a personal narrative for a possible magazine sale, Gud. Not academic at all.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'd be happy to take a look and give my unqualified opinions.

Sure, Gud! Thanks, and insending.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are you sure they are displaying it?

Hmm. I poked around, ita, and you're right. As usual.
It's just coincidence that the last three people I looked for profile addy's didn't have one, and I assumed I tweaked my CSS wrong.
ASSUMPTIONS. PFFT.

Oops. My profile addy was turned off. I thought it was on for some reason.
I'm getting close to finishing my revision of chapter 2 (chapters 2 and 3 of the rough draft). Not that anything is really locked down at the moment, just working through the changes I already know I want to make and fixing various things.

not your mom's socks.
AUGH how is it that revision is actually weakening this story. That's not supposed to happen.

Maybe it'll be like setting a bone, painful at first but necessary to heal.
Nice essay, Erin. I only made a couple of notes, but I really liked the metaphor.

Thanks, Gud! I've tweaked it,and written the query letter (my first query to a magazine! WOO!) and will be sending it out today.

Good Luck!
One of these days I need to revise my short story 'Adventures of Lloyd' and submit it someplace. It's a parody of fantasy stories so I'd need to find a welcome market for that sort of thing. Meanwhile, I made it through chapter 2 and I'm working on revising chapter 3.
