Thanks to the insane response to my ad for new betas, a few volunteers responses were redirected to my spam folder. Thank you, Yahoo. And now I’m hearing that my emails have been found in other folk’s spam folders as well. Extra-special thank you, Yahoo, you’re fucktardical.

Now when I say a few, I mean 31. That puts the number of known beta volunteers up to 137…

**the few of you that read the Infinite stories are probably raising a suspicious eyebrow

Anywhootles…

When I sent out the newest chapter of Meanwhile last night, the ladies who were down with betaing any/all of my stories were sent the chapter…

The Lovelies who all put a little piece of themselves into this chapter are…

• MyUniverse
• Tina
• AlisonByNumbers
• HW2K
• CheshireAliCat
• SLCurwin

And as always, OneSickMick has been the wall I bounce ideas/scenarios/scenes off of in the creative process, so he’s getting his due.

If you’re reading this and you just haven’t had the chance to send your notes to me yet, please, still send them. I understand ‘busy’. Hell, calm might put me into shock. One of my perks to having a Beta Staff is knowing that I’m covered from all angles.

I’ll be announcing my lineup within the next week. In the meantime, thank you all. You’ve been fabulous.

Without further ado…

Well, maybe a little ado…

Here ya go…

Meanwhile

Chapter 23: Clusterfuck

Now…

I’m going to run and hide from the reviews O.O
