Last chance for free download of my novel

Cross-posted in the general announcements thread:
I am so far on target towards finishing my first revision of my novel by the end of the month, and I plan after that to send it to publishers.
Once I start doing that, I am pulling it from my web site. I'm doing this as a precaution, as having it still up there could hurt its chances of getting published, as I suspect publishers are very touchy about "piracy," even if it's their own writer doing it.
I've already improved a lot of the writing style and added a few scenes. I haven't had to remove very much in the editing process, and I feel that the draft I have now is superior to the one that some of you have read. Still, I don't know how much the publishers will want me to redo or tweak before they agree to put it out. (No, I'm not making Scott evil and Elodea a Lesbian. If they ask for that, I'm finding somebody else.)
