Repeated Submission of Intros

I just wrote an intro today. I pressed the Submit/Preview many times. First I thought that the intro is submitted after preview it but I was wrong and therefore, I submitted one intro five six times after I made changes in the replacement variables. Please forgive me for causing this trouble.

Don't worry, editors LIVE for this sort of thing. They would much rather sort through your six copies of the same intro in their sleuth mail than slog through the regular old e-mail or heaven-forbid snail mail (the one with the postage stamp). And nothing gets their juices flowing than having a full mailbox. The fact that they will keep reading the same thing over and over and over and over again is only a true indicator of the kind of decidation, nay fanaticism that our editors bring to their work. So HOORAY for you, you got one completed! And HOORAY for them, there's one more on the pile. (Tongue only slightly in cheek).

ever since Anikka started editing intros the pile has been very small indeed. but I do like to reject stuff, so I've rejected 4 / 5 intros, so now we only have one to read and edit. I'd have edited then and there but Ani gets all huffy if we edit them out of order.

Squirrel, we love you anyway. So take another nut out of the pile and dig into the pile of intros. (I'm sure that someone will be more than glad to increase that pile for you.) And we love Ani too, but we have to give her cats instead. Happy reading you two.

Umm, prob'ly not, no, Ghazanfar. They'll let you know if there's a problem with it, and the system will show you when it's been approved. (And trust me, you don't wanna keep asking them, "Is it done yet? Is it done yet?" They REALLLLLY don't like it when people do that to them. ;-)
