>True, I forgot about publications and the such.

Do you ever read anything that's not a fanic? How do you "forget about publications"?

Well, you know with the economy these days you'll be lucky to even find a job, nevermind something that you'll even slightly enjoy. You can't be picky. Some jobs are a lot better than being broke.

>going to attempt to have published.

Pokemon Fanfic, that's all I have to say about that one.
