I wrote for myself for ages, stopped and then started again with HL fanfic. I'd have been ecstatic to end up with something actually in 'print' even if it were a tiny, self-published 'zine. Now that I've buckled down and written 92,000 words that are completely original, I'm lost. I could start collecting rejection slips now, I suppose, but I'd much rather give the work a chance by making it as good as I can BEFORE I start subbing it to agents/publishers.

And the arbitrary changing of something in my work does scare me; I can't believe an editor would do something so unethical, little 'zine or not! I can only hope I end up with someone fair.
