Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

I've just posted an experience update with about a hundred and fifty new stories (as a point of trivia, that brings us to 7,374 stories so far this year). Thanks to the writers and review team, and thanks as well for icklepurklegirl for being the cover model (BE pulling). New Lizardman Q&A tomorrow…

Let's see. I don't have much more to say, so I'll share an email I got. Here are “Natzst's” “best quality” pictures. This is the exact size and quality I got them at:

Now, of course those got turned down, since they're both too small and too blurry for me to be able to use on BME. Many of you have seen the automated note, but it explains how to take a higher resolution shot and reminds them to make sure they have their camera in macro mode and so on. This is the response I got; it's fairly typical.

your site is shit, thats the second pic turned down. i have a 4.0 mega pixel camera, the quality is amazing.

It always surprises me that people believe that buying a more expensive camera will automatically result in better pictures — if you don't know how to drive, it doesn't matter how nice a car you own!
