I had a very astute beta reader catch that the body armor a character was wearing stopped a sword, but not a little knife five minutes later.*rolls eyes* I could not believe I missed that.<br/>So do you have a publication date yet? Month? Year? Something? I'm drowning here!:)<br/><br/>Maprilynne Hahahaha.

I didn't think they were Doing It; I thought they were post-coitally nuzzling, upright. The "almost an embrace" part makes it sound as if they're facing each other, though, so I wasn't thrown off by her shoving against his chest, more by her twisting around to do so.<br/><br/>To me this is more of an interesting study in how we're much more embarrassed by our own gaffes than derisive of others'! That's just not even a big deal to me that you wrote that--I make <b>far</b> worse mistakes than that in both rough and "final" drafts (is there such a thing as a final draft? really?).
