Can I get a promise from everyone listing acceptances here that as soon as the stories are published they will post something to let us know? Thanks

Such a great story, Sky! I’ve only met you briefly at York (crammed in a car on the way to the railway station with John T and Debi, I think!) but you are obviously such a lovely, humble and kind person – it makes me so happy to see someone like that achieve the success they deserve 🙂 ENJOY!
