This is why we have editors (anti-rec of sample of Familiar Scars by Christy Leigh Stewart)

[elf]

Because of the recent YAGay fiasco, I went looking at Smashwords for YA (or close to that) GBLT fic. I did my normal filtering... ignore anything over $6 and anything with cringe-inducing errors in the blurb and anything without a preview.

I found a promising-looking story: Familiar Scars by Christy Leigh Stewart; just under 30k words for $1. I clicked on the listing.

Compelling (or at least interesting) book cover art by Megan Hansen; I'm going to try to remember that name, because I like her art style.
