(I have a very rough draft) I will have it to you by Monday, no ifs ands or buts. I've already found some missing words and a line or two was either deleted or added. I hope this is fine. I know it means mine will take a little longer to be looked at.

Thanks to all those who were courageous enough to put their work out there for all of us to see. Congrats to those who recieved requests!

So I will be checking back in to see if we have any stragglers pitching. And they'll be treated the same as everyone else.<br /><br />But what I do want to tell those of you who I've requested partials or fulls from, is this: I'll be reviewing the submissions in the order I receive them. At this point I've requested 8 full manuscripts, and 16 partials. So once I have several of those in, I'll be letting subsequent subbers know they might be waiting longer than my standard couple of weeks.<br /><br />Thanks, everyone who stepped up and pitched in front of the wide world. And thanks to all you lurkers too, for checking out the Word Wranglers blog today. I've had quite a few friends, authors, and other LPI editors who've told me they've been watching today... thank you all, too, for stopping by.Piper Dennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456792447298772844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-65668398559247729522013-02-05T19:35:24.087-05:002013-02-05T19:35:24.087-05:00Ah yes.

Now giving in to temptation has tangled her in a web of conspiracy, treason, and an alien horror bent on conquering the world she holds dear. Forced to choose between revealing the truth and saving her own reputation, her real decision is if her future is more important than her past. <br /><br />JC Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13112192117266035489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-19728743012086199182013-02-05T18:39:58.480-05:002013-02-05T18:39:58.480-05:00As requested, it is on the way, flying through Cyb...As requested, it is on the way, flying through Cyber Space as we speak and leaving *me* an absolute bundle o' nerves in waiting...<br /><br />Thank you again Ms. Piper.
