...Given all the stories I've read about his sexual exploits, celibacy was never a trait I'd associated with him.

Honestly, it's a very slippery slope. The entire subject of trying to encourage reviews is fraught. Readers do not like to be pressured. They can be extremely sensitive to anything they perceive as a demand for reviews, even if that wasn't the intention of the author. We then receive emails and it becomes a rather unwieldly thing. The other matter that is sensitive is the updating of stories. Authors often have things crop up in their lives that make updating a very low priority. It can be as dramatic as a job loss or a death in the family. It can be work or papers due at the end of the term. It can simply be a frustrating bout of writer's block. For whatever reason, anything that is perceived as pressure to update generates emails from the authors. We have even had flame wars erupt on review boards over update demands. The long and short of it all is that we do not permit the use of incentives to encourage authors to update or readers to review.

Recently made some typos in a language I myself am creating for a huge fantasy project of mine. Oops. XD One of these resulted in something that could be interpreted as "and the scribe got fucked (with) [by the wind]" rather than the "and the writings were messed up [by the wind]". Three letters difference, wholly different meaning. XD (Ki zhelem tayi azir [rha lian] instead of the Ki zhelan tayi azar [rha lian] I intended. XD) Not that either sentence will be likely to actually make it into the story - mostly working on sentences to figure out which parts of grammar I have so far neglected and which words I still miss. Can't reference to a language properly if I myself don't know it. As to more... mundane typos, "The elevator went pup." Morphing elevators, what is the world coming to?

My most recent fail, as I was typing up a message to Raymy via email: "ketchup and mustard" became "kestard and mutchup." Thankfully I caught it before sending, but I mentioned it to her anyway and posted it here regardless. We all need a laugh sometimes, right? I really shouldn't write when I'm that tired.
