Beta-reader?

Good things and bad things this week. The big bad thing being that I don't think I'll be keeping my cat, as he's gone from hiding under the sofa to hiding I don't even know where - which is quite a challenge, since my flat's pretty small. I was actually convinced he'd escaped last night, but someone ate the cat food and it wasn't me! So, anyway, off to email the rescue people and ask that they try again to rehome him, since I don't think he or I are comfortable with the current arrangement (plus, if this keeps up, I'll have to rename him Ghost!)

Of the good: I finished my Atlantis Big Bang fic - barely, I think the word count is something like 40,100, but it's over the minimum, so whatever. Would anyone be willing to beta it? It's the sequel to What Happens Next (yes, the one I've been saying I'll write for about two years!) - the John/Cam kid fic.

Also of the good: as we speak scrollgirl is on her way here! For two whole days! Yay :)

If you've gotten no other offers from folks you really know, I could look at the BB story tonight/tomorrow and probably have stuff back to you tomorrow night or Tuesday. You'd have to let me know what kind of beta you're looking for from me, too.

Could I still take you up on that, or are you busy now? I'm more or less just looking for someone to read it through and point out anything that leaps out and makes them go 'that doesn't work' - but I don't know if that's too vague for you?

Sorry I didn't get back to you right away -- I was coming home from Nashville and just got in. I do have time over the next couple of days to look it over if you're still in need and I'd be happy to help.

[bluflamingo]

Cool, thank you! Can you give me your email, and I'll send it over.

Hope you had a good time in Nashville

Sorry. It's sian1359 @ yahoo dot com

It looks like you have enough volunteers, but if for some reason they fall through, I can make the time for it.

It's too bad about your cat! I guess it's still possible he might warm up to you, but I can understand why you're concerned. It doesn't sound like a happy situation for either of you.

It's too bad about your cat!

Yeah - he got picked up tonight to go back to his old home, and I really miss him, even though I never saw him. Still, third try lucky, hopefully!

[skieswideopen]

I hope so!

Oh, I can't offer to beta, but I'm really looking forward to reading this! LJ won't even load today, so I'm playing on DW for the most part.

Give scrollgirl a little hug for me. I'm still sorry I didn't get to meet her in Toronto.
