Stop me if you've heard this one.... (hug a newsletter editor today!)
The job of a newsletter editor is a tough one... It's not helped by any of the following:
People who cannot spell the family name of one of the main characters. (Clue - hit 'shift' and 'N' at the same time!)
People who post fifteen (okay, exaggerating somewhat!) drabbles in a day. In fifteen different posts.
People who post twenty chapters of their fic in one post and then the 21st in *another* post.
Also? People who use the 'cutesy' portmanteau names to describe the pairing... should have their internets taken away from them. Although, I find the use of 'Kock' to describe Kirk/Spock to be highly amusing (yes, I have a mental age of six - did it take you this long to work it out?)
The moral of this story? If you subscribe to a fandom newsletter, please spare a thought for the poor bugger who has to *code* the damn thing. They will love you for it!
