Yup, much less stringent than SFWA, which requires professional
publication of either one novel or two short stories (and they're picky
about what constitutes "professional", too--most small presses Do Not
Count). Not that it would likely do me any good to join even if I
could. (If the basis were one rejection letter, I'd already qualify,
courtesy of a long-ago short story submission to Marion Zimmer Bradley's
FANTASY Magazine.)
(For anyone who isn't Katherine or myself and is trying to decode the
acronyms: RWA = Romance Writers of America, SFWA = Science Fiction
Writers of America.)

Actually, if anything it's the opposite--Bruce is a thirtyish ex-mercenary
who plays the role of "stereotypical veteran who's hard on the rookie" in
the show's cast. Fairly serious guy, not at all like Koyasu's usual bad-
boy or goofy roles.

Wakka didn't annoy me nearly as much as Little Ms. Bright Side. Urgh.

I have 5-10%% of, um, four, I think--the ghost investigator one, the
one about the incognito prince and the plumber, the one about the
hermaphroditic mermen, and the one about the twins, the space pirates, and
the guy with the tentacles that I started as a joke and that keeps wanting
to mutate into yaoi porn. Not to mention smaller chunks of a couple
of others.
E. Liddell and her unfinished manuscripts.
