On a slightly more edjumacational spammy note, A beta reader review/feedback form.
Always good to know who and what is useful out there.

Dear elvenpirateladyI don't really know how to tell you this, but the mafia wants you. I think I realized it when I quoted Santa in your closet and I saw you carve your initials into Manchester United's goalkeeper. I'm sure ( Read more... )

Heck, I know there are published authors on my flist, so this isn't directed at them; they get the "Go you!" However, for the Suethors we deal with for time to time, advice: it's not just for romance writers anymoreBorders is doing some publishing deal contract contest thing off of that site, if anyone's interested, but somehow I can't see myself ( Read more... )

So, I've been out of town for the past week and am horribly behind on catching up with the flist, but you know that's half the fun sometimes. ;) While on vacation, I finished the book I'd brought with me sooner than expected, and picked up a second book at the airport.

Now, a few disclaimers:
1. Like mike-smith on Harry Potter, I picked up the second-to- ( Read more... )

Don't you hate it when you know a fic is going to get deleted but you can't stop yourself from leaving a huge-ass concrit anyway? Maybe it'll help someone, even if it's only me.

So, a friend of mine is just starting out in fanfiction and asked me for links to a few of my favorite pieces that I've written, ones that should give him a good feel for my general mindset. Now all I've gotta do is figure out which ones to corrupt him with So, for my fellow writers on the flist, which pieces of yours would you rec in a similar ( Read more... )

I had Thesaurus!Suethor show up at the original deleterius post. I never mean to troll, but if she can't leave it at a frank review and her "witty" reply, and chooses to show up in my area, the gloves come off. [/self-wank report]

In less trolly news, dancingkatz is my new favorite author. Good OCs, House of Hurin, Tonks, and even Original ( Read more... )

Yes, I actually do have a fic 90% written, and an ending in mind for that E/F bit posted earlier. I've got a deadline coming up for summerflinging, and 90% written fic will be used for that, since all my other ideas dead-ended. (Femgenficathon challenge? What femgenficathon challenge? And the last nineteen 50lyricsfanfic songs will have to wait 'til July, at least ( Read more... )

So, I just uploaded two new one-shots onto the Pit. "Born Warrior," the D/F (& baby!Boz) piece I published first, has not yet recieved its third hit when I get this review for "Wedding Bells:"

that was so sweet! i luv it! Ron and Hermione are so cute together, though sometimes i admit i picture myself with Ron, but your story is so precious. ( Read more... )

Yes, I do realize "Wargs to Live By" is a Suefic. That's why it says "written with tongue in cheek" and "the rest of the fellowship in a context besides what they think of the Sue" in the summary. However, that does not mean that I don't take concrit. The one time I've ignored a piece of advice completely was when the reviewer had obviously not ( Read more... )
