I think I read your original post wrong, Sox. Seeing Buffistas is always a good thing.
How was the editorial letter?
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

It's good! There's a lot there. Editor is awesome.
It's late and my eyes are crossing.
One. Chapter. At. A. Time.

50 more pages on this pass. Did you know that the thing that happens when you stare at a word for long enough that the word looks wrong no matter what also happens with verb tense? I don't know if I knew that or what. I don't know what day it is. Flop.

Oh man, are you changing the entire tense of your book or something?

Just edits, PC. Normal course of business.

Any of our Buffista authors ever epublished a Kindle book? I'm specifically curious whether the author has any way of knowing who's purchased their book? I'm assuming (and hoping) no. A semi-friend has published an urban fantasy (angels in this one) and it's...not good. I really don't want her to ever ask what I thought of it - I'm not sure I could come up with enough "interesting concept"-type comments to keep me away from the weak grammar, adjective abuse and beat-you-over-the-head names of the characters (Seriously - Ananiah Immaculada? Professor Dhampir? Ms. Seraph? Seriously?) I wanted to like it - I know her from church, and I respect her trying to create a "clean" urban fantasy. I'd just love to know who decreed that "Christian" fiction is always so poorly executed.
Note: I'm actually only 2 chapters in, so I suppose it could still turn around...but I'm not hopeful.

I've never self-published one, no, but I don't think there's any way for the author to know that. There isn't for books e-published through a traditional publisher. Amazon should be tracking profits and giving the author numbers, not names.

Professor Dhampir? Ms. Seraph?
So you're saying he's a dhampir and she's a seraph, huh? Wait, did I just spoil a major plot twist?
