I'm not saying that ARF is the best or whatever; just that SOMETHING would be better than the mysterious, undefined IWS. It would even be mo' bettah if the acronym had two meanings; a public one, and one that Lainey and/or her friends laughingly use. SCARF: Seriously Crazy Animal Rescuer Feminists, which in public could be Something-City Animal Rescuer Feminists, or whatever. Or something-citizens ARF. Serious Citizens, or Staunch Citizens' ARF.
Man, you could go wild with that stuff. I know that Gregg said that he wanted the readers to GUESS, but...that kinda doesn't ring right for me.
I feel like it's just MISSING something.

Do you mean leave a reader guessing to the name of the organization or leaving the reader to guess which author they want to read instead of this one?
My money is on the second theory.
I think Gregg has a ton of potential but he needs to extract that trophy from his brain and listen to what others are saying.
He even said he hoped readers called him on the Buddhist monk error.
I hate to depress him, but he just thinks he wants readers calling him out.
That mistake made him look like a third rate hack that doesn't even know how to Google.
Hey Gregg, most readers call that someone not to give their hard earned money to.
A good editor and a cover designer would help him immensely.
