You need a beta?

[oneminutemaze]

[ Oh, maybe she should put that fic about Billy and submarines on standby. ]

Yeah. It's always good to have someone look over things, you know? Just in case.

[repeatshimself]

I'll do it.

[oneminutemaze]

Really? Because that would be... really, really great of you.

[repeatshimself]

Sure, why not? I've got my own in the works.

[oneminutemaze]

Would you like to trade? I beta for you, you beta for me?

[repeatshimself]

That sounds like a good idea to me!

[oneminutemaze]

Awesome!

[repeatshimself]

So, uh, which one do I get?

[oneminutemaze]

Hmmm... [ More pen tapping. ]

[repeatshimself]

Well, probably the Harry and Ginny one, sure!

[oneminutemaze]

Wellllll yeah, okay. I guess that's fine.

ikr? kickin' it old school

[oneminutemaze]

Thank you. [ She really does sound relieved. ] It's not too much, but I figured I should warn you.

[repeatshimself]

Sure, I mean. I'm not a huge fan but whatever, I'm a big boy.

I'll pass you some of my stuff tomorrow!

The writing just sort of flowed into it, you know? I try to plan things, but sometimes you're just inspired.

Great! What sort of stuff do you have?
