Tori {That's me! ^__^} popped the Zip disk she'd received from Heero-tachi (along with a post-it note saying "Return when you're finished. These are ten bucks each.") into the Zip drive and opened it in Microsoft Word.

Tori copied and pasted the e-mail and sent it out all the authors whose e-mail addresses she could find. Hopefully, this would be as painless as the last round.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Tori: Hey, if you didn't get the e-mail, I probably didn't catch your address off the last batch Talon sent around. If you want, leave 'em in the reviews and I'll copy and paste them myself.
Kegawa: So, um… *looks over shoulder at the nine other ferrets*
Tori: ¬__¬ I know, I know… I'll get around to kicking them out…
