Beta Reader/Editor Appreciation Day

So, today is the annual BRAD - Beta Reader Appreciation Day. And in honor of that, I want to publicly thank everyone who has ever done a sanity-check, a full beta-read, an all-out, watch-the-flying-blue-pencil edit, or served as a sounding board as I thrash out stories. And specifically I want to thank the following people (in alphabetical order):

-- beths_stanley, for all her excellent care and feeding of my stories over the years and for her continued support of the scary stuff that spews forth from my brain

-- celli, for getting eal and me into a whole new fandom and for getting us to actually write together

-- eal, for listening and talking and writing and correcting and supporting and helping and every other thing you've done for me and for my stories over the years

-- gem225, for letting me ramble and growl and grumble and work out all the craziness of building new characters and dealing with their foibles

And to the myriad others who help me, as well. You help me to be the writer I want to be, and for that I am eternally grateful.

I couldn't resist...

...but most likely should have. It could also be:
