That looks like a reference to gunpowder. If your powder was wet, no boom, no shootyness. It wasn't until the last...oh...thirty or so years? that you can shoot a gun underwater. Even with the latest guns, it's still not entirely recommended that you do it, but if you do, then clean your gun out thoroughly afterward.
...riiiiiight. In other words, LKH wasn't willing to point out that, yeah, guns DO work when wet, then wangsting over the OMG REJEKSHUN. e.e
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE!
I keep reading the, "I've got a degree in biology!" like Pinocchio in Shrek saying, "I'm a REAL boy!"
AMEN. Seriously. WTF...first, does ANYONE have ANY proof she actually HAS that degree, and two...yeah why do we care? It's irrelevant. O.o
From an editing side of things - OMFG, she sounds like a nightmare to deal with.
Yeah, everything I've seen and heard about this woman screams 'BITCH TO THE NTH DEGREE!!!!!' Makes me wonder how/why they ever published her at all...I'm sure there's lots of nice, polite, easy-to-work-with authors out there just as talented who get NO exposure. I'd push them, not her!
LKH would quiver with PH34R if I were her editor.
No, she wouldn't, she's just not that smart. XD
I want to set fire to something right now.
I suggest Micah Jon. He's clearly flammable, what with his stupid gasoline/fire statement. XD
