Hmmm...

I thought it was common practice for US zine editors to insist on US spelling in zines for US fandoms?

It disturbs me a little to discover that the edits I've recently received for an impending zine in such a fandom make comments about other things but the many z-less words haven't been picked up at all...

Maybe I've just been spoiled by the good editors I've worked with?

E.T.A. - it's a moot point anyway, since I've decided to pull the story. If it hadn't been sitting around for the best part of 2 years I might feel differently, but there you go...

Heh - I think I've submitted two stories to the same zine, and I found I had to catch some of my own Canadian slips on the re-edit, which was weird considering some of the odd things that actually did get picked out.

*shrug* But anyway - my reasoning is that I may as well go ahead and submit them because they've been sitting around for two years. I don't feel in love with them enough anymore to bother to post them online, but if it means sneaking some rare pairings into publication... :-P

I saw your stuff listed since the zine is now being advertised but wasn't happy enough with the finished article precisely because it's been sitting around for 2 years.

So, how's the Snape/Filch epic coming along? ;)

*nodnod* I can't say I'm entirely happy with mine, mostly because I think my style has changed a bit in the last two years. I found myself cutting out a few flowery bits, tightening up a few sentences, etc. But there's not enough Judge Travis slash in the world, so...

As for the Snape/Filch, I've been buried under a million things lately, but I am working on dusting off the next three chapters - hope to get them to the betas sometime next week :-)

I'll have to take your word on the Travis slash situation. ;)

And meanwhile, I look forward to reading the finished Snape/Filch... how many chapters you heading for?
