The Colony

Ah, the full MS-ers. The sign of a dreamer. They probably hope you'll be so swept away by the beginning that you'll want to read the rest of it.

Or they think, "I know you asked for X amount, but if you read as far as Y, that's when it really kicks off. You'll love it from there."
Or
"I know it's great. I spent the whole Christmas hols writing it. And I know you'll love it too so I sent you the whole thing."
Or
"Comparative books? Oh, I don't read any. I don't want them to affect my style. What I have read though are crap compared to mine. Read it and you'll see."

Dissing free advice from an agent? Lemme see that hand. Yup, bitemarks. Better get that checked.

delusional and destined for failure not to follow guidelines, that's all I'll say...
