I found an old document on my harddrive from when I first started to fill out the application 3 months ago, but now I'm stuck *again* on the questions in section #5 (the interpunctation ones). *sigh* Looks like I don't know nearly as much about English punctation as I thought I did. Time for some internet research. Well, at least I might learn something, which is always a good thing.
One other question (hope you don't mind my pestering you): Is the actual work on the Fic Intake Team as much work as the application form seems to suggest? What I mean is, when you get a fic that's as bad as, say, #8, do you actually have to catch and correct every single mistake or can you just tell the author to please come back when they've found a beta reader?
