Io is getting more fan mail than Zeus.

Or maybe it just seems that way... She could be intercepting the pro-Zeus mail, thus tilting the scales.

I never was a SEAL (or any other Special Forces member) and I'm not a gun-ophile. So, I'll just say thank you to those who have sent corrections on what is/isn't right on any of these issues. I'll make some corrections -- as for the rest, well it's fiction... Maybe Zeus lives in an alternate universe where things are a little different. Hope suspension of belief in this particular facet of the story doesn't ruin it for you.

Maybe I should change the disclaimer at the start... you know: "Any mention of any weapon is purely a figment of my imagination, and should not be taken seriously."

But seriously, thanks for writing to tell me about it.

(Since I can't reply in any other way...)
You know who you are--

1. You are completely right about Io's identity. (But I won't spoil next week's chapter by revealing more. :-)

2. I am profoundly honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as the author you wrote about. Not that I am in the same ball park as he. I just had a somewhat similar concept.

From anonymous:

"Why does the six year old speak like a three year old?"

Honest, I really got that one. Here's what I would have answered had I the opportunity:

Well, I went to "SpeakLikeA6YearOld.com" but couldn't get a translation for what I wanted her to say.

Maybe you've only dealt with precocious 3 yr olds.

OR maybe She's a 6 year old, mimicing a 3 yr old.

Who knows?

LOL

Really, I'm not.

I've gotten a fair amount of feedback on Lisa & Ryan NIS. Most of it saying "Ryan's a jerk. No he's not. Yes he is." or "If Lisa ever decides, she'll tear the town down." ...

But then again, I've just posted a new little story, BDSM kinda. "Lisa and the Porshe" ... and you won't believe how many notes I get about "You dork, you misspelled Porsche" or "If you can's spell Porsche, why should I read the story?"

I must conclude that the subspecies AutoPhiles Extremis must be among the readers at SOI. Geez. Get over it. So I made a typo.

I swear, it was the very first mistake I've ever made in anything. Honest. And I'll never make another mosteak again. (Polishing my halo!)
