FanStory wrote to Y. M. Roger: Annual Masterpiece finished first in the contest "Four Seasons"
    Christy Mahon: Over the years my wife and I have developed the word "serious" as our safe/stop device. Anything and everything up to serious is fair play for kidding, ribbing, whatever. However, once serious is called all games are over. I'm relating this in order to make you aware that nearly always when I have the need to communicate with you, I am not being very serious. If I write gruffly, I'm being playful, kidding or satirical and should not to taken seriously. That said, I've slept on it and you're going to get your damned capitalization of aunt. BUT, there's never going to be a comma after Honey. Nuh huh, no way. I know it's more correct, yet I think it reads just fine without a comma. You'll just have to be satisfied with my cave in compromise to convention on aunt. And if you gloat, I swear I'll hold my breath. Seriously though, thank you sincerely for looking out for me and helping this fool to trick folks into thinking I'm a better writer than you know I ain't. As a newbie, I'm not clear whether this is a private message or not. If not, at least know it was intended to be private. -

    Mark D. R.: Yvette,

    Congrats for saying so cogently what many others believe.

    Now we must await the FS administrators to act constructively on your excellent suggestions/commentary and consider all the others too. I am not confident that we will see any changes immediately or even during the early months in 2019. I will be greatly surprised if they do modify even some of the concerns you had highlighted by mid-year.

Y. M. Roger: Confessions of a blonde Fanstory author: I HAD NO IDEA of the existence of this listing where the site actually posts your placings in a competition!! I AM SO HEARTILY SORRY to have never responded to ANY of the notes I just discovered below this...AAAACCCKKKK! I feel JUST AWFUL!!! I'm thinking there should be some sort of tutorial for when you join -- not some insane initiation (some of the reviews could serve for that - lol!) -- but just something that lists these little tidbits that people might be sending you messages of which you are TOTALLY UNAWARE because there's NO notification ANYWHERE!! :( :( To everyone who has left notes in the past: mea culpa, Mea Culpa, MEA CULPA!!!!! From the blonde fantasy writer over here.....sigh.

Y. M. Roger: Today starts the TWO week countdown to teacher meetings and - gasp! - school.......just tell yourself "I'm only part-time, I'm only part-time...." As my husband says, I'll probably fall in love with every one of them all over again!!! :) ;) :) :) :) ;)
    Phyllis Stewart: A female physicist is rare, a rocket scientist even more rare, so congratulations on being rare. I was a math teacher myself, but that's as close as I got to the stars. You fascinate me. Glad you found FanStory. :) -
