Disclaimer: Fortunately for Anne, she owns Pern. Also fortunately for Anne, she doesn't own this particular story, or (Lucky woman!) Marjory's story.

ANs: This story was far more popular than I thought it would be among my friends. So, I had to update. Short, I know. But hey, it's all Marjory's fault!

Things to look forward to in this chapter: GASP! Marjory gets her first reviews! GASP AGAIN! The (-sob-) final chapter in Dragons, the short story by flarismyman!

Plz... Please review!

Flarismyman (aka, Marjory), logged into her email account. She was vibrating with excitement. What? (-Gasp!-) There were three reviews!

The first one read:

Aargh! Stop writing!

Marjory frowned. Oh, no…! How tragic that the reviewer had made a typo! Well, or ffdotnet had messed up! Either way, the don't in don't stop writing had been left out! Really, what a tragedy!

On to review #2!

I won't play with words – this story was awful.

What a great start.

Grammar has apparently flown the coop. You can't write plot or characters to save your life. There was no pause at all – everything just happened. You need serious help.

Recap: GRAMMAR, slow down.

Sincerely,

TheVoiceofReason

This one was slightly more difficult to blow off. Marjory decided to move on to the next review.

OK, I'm sure you've already been flamed.

Flame? What were they talking about? Of course everyone had loved her story! That VoiceofReason just didn't know what he/she was talking about. Marjory sniffed, miffed.

But I think that everyone has a bit of potential, buried deep inside of their souls.

Wow, this person was a real philosopher.

So, do us all a favor, and get a beta.

I know you are, but what am I?

Marjory glared at the screen, highly affronted. Little smarty-pants. She developed an immediate grudge against I Know You Are, But What Am I? She clicked on the review reply URL.

if u tink u no sooo mutch, y dont u btea 4 me, then.

Satisfied that she had managed to retort satisfactorily, Marjory logged out.

Pamela sighed as she pressed submit review. She wished she could've been harsher, but once she started actually writing the review, her words were always softened. So all she'd ended up doing was telling the poor flarismyman that she needed a beta.

A little while later, Pamela checked her email again. She blinked. A review reply from flarismyman! What reply had the little twit come up with?

if u tink u no sooo mutch, y dont u btea 4 me, then.

Was that a challenge? Pamela grinned, an almost evil smile, and clicked on the user's URL.

Marjory hadn't expected TheVoiceofReason to actually reply that quickly! Well, it didn't matter, anyway. She had the next chapter all written up already…

Around the world, many foreheads were slapped in exasperation. Didn't flarismyman get it? Apparently not. Pamela's mind was made up. She was going to beta for that girl if it was the last thing she ever did.

And it was extremely likely that it would be.

LYK THNX 4 READING - ahem, I mean, thanks for reading, Marjory and I would love it if you'd review at least one of our stories!
