Are there any more of us out there?

Well done you two!
As to others- It's not Aesthetica, but I'm still happy-
I've been told that I'm in Thirteen Magazine in December, and I get one hundred and thirteen pounds for my troubles! That's a lot of money for a James.
And to cap it all Mr. Bean is on Blue Peter. My 22nd and 3rd favourite things together at last.


Bye!

James

Congrats to you then Okk!!! It sounds like you won the best story of the year money for Thirteen. And Blue Peter? That's impressive!

There could be more of us in Aesthetica as people check their email.

Ani

James, that's great news! you see, you've got your ww subscription money back!
Elspeth

Gosh, sorry Dee! It's The Asylum & The Sundowner Captain (archived under 'I: The Sundowner Captain'. You said 'this is excellent. Wonderful imagery. Fine use of words'- one of the marvellously pleasant comments that, in a flush of confidence, incensed me to send it off in the first place You were your own undoing!

that was an apostrophe followed by a close-bracket you formatty bugger!

Not you, Site Administrator Man.

Ah, so not only is it a money-earning winner but it is also a RLG winner. What's the protocol, Dee? Jumbo?
