Seriously, the best thing about that growing stack of smut is that you can blame it all on some Canadian pervert...

I'm going to close the thread and start getting invoices out.  Thanks again to everyone who participated, it was a lot of fun, and special thanks to the lovely Mrs. who indulges my fondness for these little rectangles, and tries not to complain (ok, a little ) about how all my free time outside of work is taken up when I do a sale.   It is a fair amount of work. I'm amazed at the dudes who do hundred page long sales
