My mistake - RS.org didn't do those changes - I did

[icarus]

I want to correct this immediately. Turns out RS.org did some minor changes, but no rewrites.

I went to compare the changes at RS.org to my original files, to list exactly what had changed. I pulled the version I sent them, with the beta marks in it called: 'Death Eater Rock_Final.' Then I looked at the date. It was dated fully a month before I sent it in to the Boozefest. The real final is called 'Death Eater Rock_BoozefestFinal.'

The version I sent only had isiscolo's changes. Not tboy's, nor any of the sections I was unsatisfied with and rewrote myself before I sent it to CLS, none of CLS's changes or switchknife's comments.

Wow. My final version's a lot better than what I sent isiscolo. I see why I changed it. On the upside I'm glad to see that my final is better than the original.

RS.org did make some unsolicited minor changes in the first sentence, which is what panicked and freaked me out alerted me to look for more.

*so glad* to hear you figured out what happened!

Me too

Me too, although I'm dying of embarrassment right now. Do you realize that I ripped my own writing and kicked up a huge fuss before I knew what happened? LOL! *hand slapped to forehead*

I'm going to post Morrie and Kissaki's responses, because they are so heartening, and exactly what a writer wants to hear when confronted with a situation like this.

awww... I think it's understandable that you reacted out of panic, and for a writer to be defensive over her work. The important thing is that you've made sure to correct impressions with everyone, and quickly.

Morri and Kissaki are sweeties, aren't they?
