I know, I know...Call it literary license?  I use score points as money in the stories, but I somehow can't bring myself to say the characters are dealing in "points".  So I used "score" like some might use "quid" or whatever, to give an idea of a lot of money changing hands.

I figured it would be clear enough, since we have charm points, respect points, etc., yet we tend to refer to them as charm or respect.  If anyone honestly thinks this is a problem, I'll bite the bullet and use "points" instead.

I've submitted stuff in the past to publications, but nothing's been published.  Thanks for the kind word, though.  To be honest, I'm not that happy with some of the sentence structure I've been using in these stories...maybe some of these proposals will be practice for me. :)
