After several hundred pages of STET, a girl starts to wonder if it's actually her, and she's doing something really wrong. I'm not, but man. One's faith sours

I really think you need to drop a word in your editor's ear saying that since your writing style and the copyeditor's vary so strongly, it might be a good idea not to use her for your next book - lowered bloodpressure all around and quicker turnaround...
My editor knows. I had this CE for the last book and my editor requested we not have her for *this* one, and we got her anyway. I expect we will word it more strongly next time.
Argh. That *really* sucks. But you're a writer. I'm certain you will be able to express your displeasure.

may have to join you in the watchathon of smallville.. I never really got into the clark character so I stopped watching quite early - then I saw some later eps and wished I hadn't..
I have been enjoying Smallville quite a bit. There were a couple of times when it might have gotten dropped if I'd needed to drop something but it never quite happened so I've been with it since the beginning. And having it be the lead in for Supernatural helps. :)
4. I'm really loving Ollie so far. Not only for teh pretty, but for the contrast to Clark in methodology. Dying to see this world's Bats now.
I don't think we will see Bruce make an apperance in this show. If there was ever a reason for it, this seaon's storyline (i.e Ollies Character) would have been the best place for it. However with the Batman movies being made, they will not get permission to use him in a TV series. Heck the only reason Smallville is being made is that it went into production well in advance of the Superman returns 'Thing'.
Which is probably a pity. Cos every superman universe needs a Batman.

See, now I'm curious. You so need to get your hands on those for the bonus extras on the deluxe "Writer's Cut" edition. ;)
And I see that I quit watching Smallville too soon. Oh well. Once I finish taking over the world, I can always hold my own marathon.
