Egg on my Face Re: A Word on Reviews

Thank you to the several people who have kindly pointed out on the
group list or in email that "Sherlock Holmes" is the correct spelling,
not Shirlock when I submitted my 'commentary' on Reviews yesterday.
In the example I gave--I made the same mistake I made in my fic, and
spelled it incorrectly; I want to spell it Shirlock in my head, because
it sounds like the name "Shirley". *embarrassed* At any rate I WAS
very grateful to my reviewer who gave me the correct spelling (the
word only occurs once, thank goodness!) and the material point about
the reviews issue remains the same.

Several people have asked me/suggested that this be posted among other
fanfiction groups and sites as well to promote understanding of why
reviews are so valued by the majority of fanfic writers. You have my
permission to share it anywhere you feel it would be useful, though I
would appreciate if you would correct the "Sherlock" issue (sheepish
grin), and let me know you are using it.

Sincerely,
Shanti
