A Rotten Christmas by Jolyon Lewes
https://forum.iomfats.org/./mv/msg/9202/75317/#msg_75317
Even more impressive was the lack of any mistakes, so as an author Jolyon Lewes is either not just a brilliant writer but multi-talented editor and proof reader, or has the support of a very good editor. Do I have any criticisms? Well YES, that there are only four chapters, please write some more, because it's strange to think that this new and wonderful story ends so soon!

I try to pick up any typos I find even when the author and editor (if any) declare it camera ready]]>timmy2018-12-21T18:21:39-00:00Re: A Rotten Christmas by Jolyon Lewes

It's deliberate that the tale ends rather abruptly. I leave it to my readers to decide the details of Timothy's future life - but I've given a big fat clue.
I do my own proof-reading and I've learnt to do it patiently and in several separate sessions, a day or more after finishing the writing. My first few stories had all sorts of mistakes that I had to ask Timmy to correct. I think in one instance the hero of the story had about three different names in one paragraph!
Merry Christmas, everyone.]]>Jolyon Lewes2018-12-24T10:21:34-00:00Re: A Rotten Christmas by Jolyon Lewes

This was a brilliantly written story, superb in every detail.
