In previous arrangements, similar to yours, I have asked submissions to place asterisks around the words (or phrases/sentences/paragraphs) where italics is meant to be used.<br /><br />Suggest you do the same.<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />GerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-34124068847749546542009-10-29T17:05:37.597-07:002009-10-29T17:05:37.597-07:00Lady Glamis, thank you for answering! :)Lady Glamis, thank you for answering! :)Rebekah Prudhommehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387716121075984818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092805684169371138.post-61990823696453354322009-10-29T11:22:09.504-07:002009-10-29T11:22:09.504-07:00Bardmaid,

I know they are not the same, but neither is horror and crime, and we've had to classify them together. Hope that's all right! We look forward to reading your work, Wendy!Michelle D.
