What's the rating? If it's not a lemon, I'd be happy to do it for you. ^_^

Dante kisses Nero graphically for one paragraph. I'm not sure if a graphic kiss counts as lemon, to be honest. Then it's implied that Nero and Kyrie get laid, but it's a PG fade-to-black 'and then...'

Is that ok?

A graphic kiss should be fine. Fading to black as opposed to explicit sex is what I was looking for.

Yeah, I'd be happy to beta read that for you. ^_^ Do you have my EMail address?

I'm about to head to bed, so if I don't reply to you immediately, I promise I'll get to it when I wake up. XD

Thank you so much! :D

There is no hurry, the fic is not even finished yet ^^

I don't have your address, but I usually go with LJ for beta-reading. I post the fic in a filtered entry that only the beta-reader can see, then send them the link. Would that be ok for you?

Ah! Sure, that'd work too.

Most people I beta for just send me the file, so I just assumed. XD My bad. Sure, an entry is just fine.

It Is Finished!

Yay! :D

Besides grammar, flow, characterization and humor, one of my biggest concerns is: can you tell easily who is Nero and who is Dante? I mean, I didn't want to always write "Nero and Dante this", "Nero and Dante that"; but both are silver-haired male demon hunters who wear red-ish leather and fight with swords and guns, so it was a bit difficult to come up with surrogate names and pronouns without getting them confused.

I'm sorry, can you please tell me, more or less, when you think you can get the fic done?

I ask because springkink has started the new round, and I am trying to decide on a fanfiction timetable :)

I'm sorry, is everything all right? I haven't heard from you in 8 days. Did something happen?

If you just decided that you don't want to beta-read for me anymore, please just tell me so, so that I can ask somebody else.

... No, everything's fine. Apparently it's just my EMAIL being stupid.

I only JUST got these replies. Wow, I'm sorry. Man, LJ seriously spazzed or something...

Geez, I feel awful. I'm about to turn in, but I'm gonna read this before I do and say what I can.

Oh, I see ^^

Don't worry, take your time :)

I didn't mean to sound pushy. I don't mind waiting, I just wanted confirmation that I was waiting for something. If you say "I'm going to get it done in a month", it's perfect. But if I never get any confirmation, I get the doubt that I'm waiting for nothing.
