===================
I hate that one person can override the scores of ten who like a story. It
happened to me with Lola because it had a Herm character who had anal sex
with teen boys. I got plenty of anonymous e-mail about how they were giving
me low scores even though I told them the theme of the story and not to read
it if they were going to spaz. I especially hate anon emails that tell me I
ought to do this or shouldn't say that when I had very good reasons and
can't explain why such a thing was essential to the story. Ah well, ranting
helps, lol.
