Dear Naomi Novik,

I am still hugely enjoying the Temeraire books, but please, for the love of tiny bunnies, hire an actual editor to proofread your novels! The typos! They burn!

(I was doing well at ignoring them until we reached the Nemean region, which is in Ancient Greece, not New South Wales. It was rightly the Nepean earlier. Betas are for fanfic, Naomi. I'm sure you've earned enough to pay for a good editor by now!)

Must dash, plot twist has just occurred and I only have time for another hundred pages before bed.

Much love,

Brammers

Grand - I'll keep at them, then. But slowly, because I can forsee my newly-acquired e-book habit (I was given an iPod last week) could get expensive quite fast. But it does save me from needing to add another bookshelf, so that's OK.

More background would be a grand thing - it's such a great premise, but doesn't seem to go quite far enough. I really don't need another fandom, though, so I'll hope for a while longer that Naomi will fill that in on her own :).

I hope so, too! I realised that the whole reason I wrote any HP (aside from Gillian) was that there were too many loose ends and gaps that I wanted filled. Fingers crossed Novik fills many of them in!
