OK, I've managed to finish, and thanks to Alys9, have edited another offering for BCTS.

"Dumb Bet" is finally up. I started this story some three years ago and thanks to some gentle prodding, I picked it up again and managed to finish it. Then, I got lucky and found an editor who managed to persuade me to correct some of the errors. I'm afraid, that I did reject a few of her suggestions, so if you see anything amiss, it's all my fault.

It sure is nice to have someone else's eyes look for mistakes. She really did find some that I was reading right by because I knew what I'd typed. (Or to be more correct, mistyped.)

Thanks again, Alys9
