I haven't seen much evidence that she could identify a sense of humor in the wild.

I found a snowman cookie on my profile. Conclusion: I have been baubled. Thank you <3333

I am pretty damn excited to read your IBB, less so to hear about colds and sore throats. BACTERIA GET OUT OF BAUBLE'S BODY ASAP. So she can continue to have clarifying, thoughtful opinions on style and pacing and things.

It looks like you have two snowman cookies, you saucy minx! Such disloyalty...

Oh man, I hope you like the IBB. I am currently wrestling with it and the fact that it's supposed to be a light, fun, fluffy piece. Which, as you know, is like. Writing on a different planet for me. Le sigh. If you are ever around, I would appreciate someone to bounce ideas off of.

I've finished reading the updated draft of your BB and I really like the changes you've made. I'm glad my suggestions were helpful and I think the story is much much stronger for the inclusion of Arthur's subplot. All my remaining comments are minor nitpicks or suggestions, the only major one being that I think you should include more sailing/sailboat/water references. But otherwise, I love it and A+++++++++++ job!

I can't believe you went through it again. YOU ARE A BEAST. A BEAST OF BRILLIANCE. Thank you so much -- I only hope I can be one tenth as helpful when it comes to looking over your IBB. I will definitely try though. Light, fun, fluffy is usually something that is within my comfort zone.

Haha, well, beta-ing stories is SERIOUS BUSINESS for me ;)

Okay, I think I'm going to link you to the rough draft of the parts I have done on my IBB so you can take a look and see if the tone and trajectory seem to be heading in the right direction or if I need to be making some sharp left turns.
