Lol, on the web-site McGregor claims she got hooked on shorts by reading Poe, in which case, maybe she needs someone to discuss the definition of 'fantasy' with her. Or maybe she's just got a dark horror thing going.

And of course the previous publication requirements are a bit more UK-stringent than Milford. Pity, a shot at £15k is not to be sneezed at, and even £500 is enough to accept its being permanently on-line. :(
