Morona – not her real name – had signed up for newsletters from an internet flash fiction publication, but never bothered to read them. Notwithstanding clear instructions to the contrary, she submitted a crude, tasteless story, full of grammatical and spelling errors and effectively a sequel to a previous submission. Just before the deadline. Furthermore, she saw no reason to not to switch off her laptop’s VPN.

Why do I suspect there is more truth than fiction to this one, Gordon? 💛

Wow, how creepy, I'm glad you are a good editor. It makes you wonder sometimes who is on the other side of the screen.

Good for you for digging deeper, but I can imagine it's not pleasant to be subjected to this sort of thing in your capacity of editor. Thank you for putting up with it.
