LabRat :-)
Sorry, Tricia, we've got off track a bit.
LabRat - I think your statement above is pertinent.
I think the archive is extremely valuable. It is precisely because I value the archive that I'm not prepared to submit stories that could be improved with a final edit. That final edit takes much longer than a moment. I still haven't submitted 'Aussie Rules'. Going by previous stories, I estimate that my final edit will take between twenty and thirty hours. I've started a couple of times, but RL or other stories have got in the way. I want to read it all in less than a week, so I don't lose the flow.
I think all writers understand that their support is needed to maintain the archive. I appreciate your gentle prods and the way you continually bring the archive to our attention.
Corrina.
