I need some betas. Yes, that is pluralized. I've got a couple things that need looked at. As usual, I'll post them on a beta filter on LJ, but I may email a few of you too. [livejournal.com profile] maddykitty, if you're online sometime tonight (my night, your day), can I con you into it?

This is my motivation to get everything typed up, what I get to read when I'm done, if you want something to read while you wait:

Castles Crumble by [livejournal.com profile] jainadurron
SPN fic, The Winchesters pick up a hitchhiker, a young woman running from something, and she complicates Dean's life.

And some more fic recs, while I'm at it:

Bring Me to Life by [livejournal.com profile] acostilow
More SPN. "Because according to you, I do not deserve life. By that same logic, neither do you. And whether you kill him or he kills you, you will both be destroyed."

Night of the Living Dead by [livejournal.com profile] ignipes
Still Supernatural. There is nothing worse than being up a tree without a flamethrower while surrounded by a horde of brain-eating zombies.

The Edge of the Ocean by [livejournal.com profile] trollprincess
Last Supernatural rec of the night, I promise. She doesn't know why the world looks empty of people, why everybody just got up and walked away.

Now, for the rest of you...

I know that all you H/D'ers on my flist have read and loved [livejournal.com profile] pir8fancier's We Are the Champions fic, right? And you also know how much I love [livejournal.com profile] pir8fancier? So, here's something of hers that you really must read:
Draco Malfoy: Fangirl
Summary: Draco writes porn. Harry finds out. Draco throws a party. No one comes (literally). Harry consoles Draco.

And another one of my favorite H/D fics. (a WiP, though, sorry for all you that don't read those)

I can do something for you. My [livejournal.com profile] serpentinelion fic is with the beta, and it's good karma to keep the cycle going.

msn hates me. it never delivered this comment. stupid email.

anyways, I'm typing stuff up write now b/c it's all written out longhand. the only thing I have ready ready for beta is ch 6 of my wip, but if you're still up/around & willing, I'd love to have someone look over it. it's rather short, b/c I tend to write short chapters. and I have no spell checker. *g*

I'll be up for several hours. As long as it's ok that I haven't been folling your wip, I don't have any problem reading over a chapter of it.

cool. i've got someone i'm working with plotwise on this chapter, but i still need someone for mechanics (i hate to post anything without at least two betas). can i email it to you? my email is tabbycat6380@msn.com, if you wanna email me w/ your email address instead of posting it here.

I'll beta for you... you know that.

I know. I loves you!! *snuggles*

Yeah, I will definitely beta for you. *g* I have been awake for a really long time, so I am going to take a nap for a couple of hours but then I'll be back.

And thank you for posting these recs! ♥

go take a nap. I'll email you so you'll have it to look at later. I loves you!!!

And you're welcome for the recs! Awesome stuff, gotta share!

I'd be happy to beta for you, if you want.

really? the things that I'm typing up that need to be beta'd (there are four things, actually) are in the HP, Supernatural, and Queer as Folk fandoms. You still interested? (I'm an idiot. I was getting ready to ask if you were familiar with them, but I guess your user name kinda gives that away, doesn't it?)

And, with all this rain outside, I have an urge to write "Sawyer & Charlie get caught in an island rainstorm" full of clothing sticking to bodies and wet kisses and other kinds of yumminess. I was gonna pass the bunny along on that one, but I think I'm gonna write it myself. And blame it on you b/c you got me thinking about Charlie/Sawyer yesterday. *g*

My email is tabbycat6380@msn.com, if you wanna email me your email address. I may take you up on the offer. Right now I'm heading out the door, though, so it'd be later. (I'm late for work. Again.)

Thanks for the recs sweetness.

I'd offer to beta for you but I'm not really good at it. I can correct your grammar and cheerlead for you though, if you get desperate.

Happy Thursday.

From: [identity profile] why-me-why-not.livejournal.com
I've got a couple betas pinned down, I believe. But thank you for the offer! If you want a distraction, you can read what I've written so far (http://why-me-why-not.livejournal.com/141046.html) and tell me what you think of it, as a good little cheerleader. *g* Despite de's positive reaction, I'm still a bit worried about this one, b/c it's not what I usually write.

(haha, and look at the new icon I snagged from someone)

Hahahaha, great icon!!

I can't read the smut at work, but I'll be all over you it tonight!

Date: 2006-04-27 07:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] why-me-why-not.livejournal.com
That's cool. I just wanna know what you think. *g* I actually finished writing most of it on my first break at work (I'm on lunch now) so I can type that up when I get home & send you a final version. ;)

Looooove having an "in" with the author!

Well, I know this is soooo late it's not even funny, and you probably don't need BETAS anymore, but I've told you before how much I would LOVE and be honored to Beat anything for you. However, I am not on LJ often enough as of late and probably till the end of the school year. I Beta really fast though - a couple of days at the most. So I know you post the stories that need to be Betaed on LJ posts, but I'm always here if you e-mail them to me. :)

I did get betas for most of these, actually. But in the near future I'll probably have a severe lack of online time, so I'll be needing betas that I can email stuff to. *g* I'll add you to that, if you'd like? I know you can do HP, and apparently SPN... I can't remember about QaF or LOST?

Date: 2006-05-08 03:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] football-girl.livejournal.com
Well, I can do it all, only for Lost, I can't do characterization etc because I've never seen it. But just grammar and flow etc - any. Everything else - any but not Lost.

Oh... And tell me what happens in the season finale of SPN... :D Send, tell, as you wish, really. ;)

Date: 2006-05-08 03:38 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] why-me-why-not.livejournal.com
Cool. I'll email you some things to beta then. Not now, but after next weekend. *g*

I have the last ep of SPN uploading right now, if you wanna wait for it, and avoid the spoilers! b/c it's so much better to see it. *g*

Date: 2006-05-08 03:40 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] football-girl.livejournal.com
Awesome! Whenever you need it!

Yeah, I'll wait for it! :) Give me the link when you're done! :D Thanks soooooo much!!! *gives love and cookies*

lol -- I just emailed you the link to dwnload the episode. Really, the spoilers don't measure up to the impact of actually watching it. (seriously, my heart still goes into overdrive when I *think* about the end of the episode)
