EDIT: Poetry Achievement!

So I'm browsing the Poetry Gallery this evening when I suddenly find... my own name is in there.
I'm published! And several months sooner than I expected. This is a really awesome thing. (And to think I only started entering after people complimented me on my song parodies here.) And TNT sent me a Spotted Paint Brush as a prize, which I really had not been expecting! I had thought it would be a codestone or something.
There's just one little problem. Well, relatively little, but to me it's a BIG problem.
You see, I don't know why, but they missed off half a line in the first stanza.
Now this wouldn't be a problem if it had been the freeform Acara poem I've still got saved on my computer. Unfortunately, it's NOT. The line they cut is in "Lament of the Yurble"... admittedly casual, but a villanelle. You can't compromise the rhymescheme in one of those!!
I wonder how many people will notice... ;_;
They fixed it! So quickly, too. ^_^ Unmitigated happiness for the win!
