Betas wanted: could be dangerous
Regular readers (all three of you) will know that many of my fics are extremely long (10,000 words plus) and thus require betas of unusual strength and stamina. In addition, my valiant betas have often succumbed to strange and unusual fates: laptops dying, mystery illnesses, overloads of RL work, or even being forced to live under repressive right-wing regimes.
All this is a preamble to a request for betas for several fics recently completed or under production by me:
1) Half a loaf (20,000 words) - Mycroft/John, John's POV. Domestic angsty comedy, featuring a dangerous Belgium diplomat, a bread making machine, 187 North Gower Street and the Diogenes Club.
2) Histories (First part) (11,000 words) - Molly/Harry, Sherlock/John (varying POVs). A follow-up and lots of back story to 'Birthday Surprise' and 'Launch Pad'. So far includes an unfeasibly large number of angsty flashbacks, Sherlock not!seducing Molly and John braving Mrs Holmes.
3) A man, a plan, a canal (1300 words) Mycroft/Lestrade fluff
4) Under the weather (13,000 words) Mycroft/Lestrade - follow-up to David. Mycroft finds out about Lestarde's one-night stand with Sherlock. Angst and 80s music ensues.
If anyone feels up to betaing any of these, please let me know. Many thanks.
