Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's a great cover! My hand would go irresistibly to pick up that book.

Because books.

Awesome, Gud!

Book covers are exciting.

not your mom's socks.

... I may have just committed a sartorial battle between Agnieszka & Sarkan from Uprooted and Shoe & Fisk from Foreign Devils....

Can a story still be noir if my character turns herself in?

I would say very much yes. Especially if it is internally driven - i.e. not save someone else but because she can't live with what she has done.

Or if someone even more evil forced her into it.

It's some of both, I think.Would love to get past stories that are "fine," but I know it wasn't that long ago, I may have used a different "F". Still, nobody goes out of their way to publish and reward "fine,"

Nothing in that which can't be *great* Noir, depending upon the story as a whole.

I'm proud of it, but, at the same time, there are so fewer markets now that I really need something unique, but apparently not the whole wheelchair thing(I've got one place that really wants that, but they pay diddley and squat, and I know the editor so that's like, I don't know, another friend doing me a favor...which is nice, but even I don't have time to befriend every magazine editor in America, and it also makes me feel that the work doesn't stand on its own. Which I know other writers do worry about, but other writers? Haven't gotten as much done for them by people trying to be nice, make them feel included, etc.
