Just wanted to throw out there that sometimes the weighting system for stories seems brutal at times. It feels like right now it takes three 10 stars to make the score go up .01 only to be brought down by a single 8 star (or 9, I'm not sure). It really makes you appreciate how hard some of the people with 9+ scores on the top 50 lists have worked to get those.

That reason being that the next chapter is off to the editor, which I am very excited about! Will be posting as soon as I get it back and give it a once over. :D

I've been putting this off for far too long. My fiasco with Chapter 13 has brought to the forefront just how much I need a good editor/proofreader. As such I have finally put in the request and hope to hear something soon.

Honestly, I'm a little terrified. Over the last few months these stories have become my babies and I know a good editor will probably rip them to shreds, only to put them back together into something far better than my meager talents can produce.

I am honestly terrified to look at Chapter 13 right now, I've been sick for the past week and wrote most of it under the influence of antibiotics and cough medicine (the good kind) and the story went fluttering off in its own direction.

Guess I'm going to have to re-read it so I can decide to drag things back on course or see where this new direction takes me.

Don't get me wrong, this has happened before and it worked out well. I'm just worried about writing while meds were making me loopy, as I sit here , now clear headed, I cant even remember everything that happened in the chapter.

As I said, being sick sucks

Chapter 12 is in the proofreading stage at the moment should hopefully be up tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
