For a mere 85 more dollars there will be a new Walker Papers or Old Races short story! The Tuckerization is at $260, the gift basket is at $105! Busy day of revisions ahead of me, as yesterday was a total loss. :p Pilates first, though. *scoots off*

So the chat software we’ve been using for the word wars, tinychat (which is web-based and therefore ideal because everybody has a browser but not everybody has AIM/gchat/ICQ/whatever), has gone and made a bunch of Improvements which aren’t.

Total expected major revision work, something like 70-100 pages. Minor revisions throughout to make the old stuff work with the new.
