Oops ...
Date: 2017-11-19 01:35 am (UTC)I gave you two verses because you posted a call for cosponsors. Someone else has expressed interest in "The Greatest Legacy" so watch in case that opens up.
>> Actually, "Not Your Grandmother's Monster Hunter" has been sold, I know because I bought it. Congrats! <<
Fixed, thanks. I'm sorry about the errors this week, I'm not at my best.
