Something exploded in my face today.

I will try to finish the beta work tonight.

Hey Benn, don't worry about it - I know too well about explosions in faces!

... *cracks up childishly* Er, nevermind. Seriously though, this isn't something that should be a chore or something that should get in the way or important stuff - take your time. :) Or if your life's too hectic right now, don't worry about leaving it! :D I've got a few fics half-done anyway, you could kindly some other time if you like? x

I would like you to read this out of context:

"if your life's too hectic right now, don't worry about leaving it"

....

NAUGHTY.

I don't know anything about explosions in faces. She wasn't all that kinky or wild...

[madoldmrsfigg]

She?! Do tell.

I can beta, though I have to warn you two things:

1. I am more of a "plot beta" - I'll of course look for grammar and spelling mistakes, but I'm more about the characters, etc.

2. I am slightly blunt at times. And a tad nitpicky.

3. I prefer IM while discussing the story - to me, discussing it is crucial.

Thank you!

1. I love character beta and plot beta, it's what I need. I find it crucial to get characters believable.

2. Be as blunt as you like! I can handle it. :D I don't use beta readers and ego boosts, I love them to actually criticise! :D

3. IM is cool - I've never tried it that way, but it would be cool. I'm signing in to MSN now. Would you like to meet me there and for me to share it with you through there, or through email?

Thanks again, you generous person! I'd be happy to return the favour too, if you ever need it. :D

Sorry if you already left, didn't realize you'd reply so quickly. I've just added you - azaelia85 AT hotmail DOT com.

Pick me, pick me!! I'd love to read something of yours, it's been far too long ;)

[madoldmrsfigg]

Thanks darlin'! :D I've emailed you with a .doc file - you still have the same email? Let me know if you have problems receiving it. x

[madoldmrsfigg]

Have you got it? I hope so. Anyway, no rush - I'm off to bed in a minute, so I'll chat tomorrow. Thanks again! x

[binzer611]

Okay, I'm sorry that took so long! I've been so insanely busy I haven't even had time to eat. But I just did a first read through on the story, so you can send me the second half now :) I'm doing a pleasure read first, and then I'll do a more critical one...but it was thoroughly enjoyable :D

Oooh! Have you found someone yet? If not, I'd LOVE to beta your story. I love your work and I love doing beta work, so it would practically be a virtual orgasm for me!

If you've found someone, though, no worries. :D
