I got my author copies of FIVE SEASONS OF ANGEL yesterday. It's looks really spiffy. My and Laura Anne's essays shine like jewels . . . with a small flaw in mine.
The word "evangelist" was changed to "evAngelust" throughout my essay (except for the first use). I couldn't figure out how this happened at first. It wasn't in the page proofs I got, and the odd capitalization certainly wasn't anything normal.
I think what happened is that in another essay, another author wrote "Angelis" instead of "Angelus" several times. Rather than make each correction by hand, the typesetter told the computer to replace "Angelis" with "Angelus," not realizing that this would also convert "evangelist" to "evAngelust" in =my= essay.
Ummm . . . oops?

Bwah! or Gah! depending.
EvAngelust sounds kind of kinky and appropriate for those that are into Angel. (I'm more of a Spike girl, m'self.) Anyway, a friend of mine received in her freshman year a handout on how to get along with your 'sodomite' (should have been suitemate).
Computers aren't smart, people! They just do what you tell them to.
Um...who spellchecks the spellcheckers?

So...how DO you get along with your sodomite?
