Beta Readers - always overseas when you need them
Here I am slaving away over hot books, and my beta reader has been off tripping around the U.S. As if that wasn't bad enough, she had the absolute gall to tantalise me with pictures and tales of fun and debauchery. And as for the totally EVIL mention of seeing new SPN episodes when they won't air here till next year. Cruel, very cruel. You'd better channel those eps to me any way you can honey. Or I'll sic Missouri onto you. And what is all this about the boys' trauma over Papa? You know you can't just drop that in an email from LAX and not expect me to sit up and beg. If it is about angst and Papa you know I'll do anything to hear the goss.
So, will my fabulous, wonderful (does flattery work Red?) beta reader msscullyred, arise from the ashes of her trip, like now? I mean, your plane landed this morning, surely you're not sleeping off the jetlag when you should be emailing/phoning/driving interstate to share hot SPN goodness?
Is this some form of cruel punishment for my emailing you 12 pieces of SPN fic in time for you to read while trapped on an international flight? Don't reach for that emergency door handle Red! Don't want you to become a Phantom Traveller just yet.
I shall attempt to fake patience and wait a day. In the meantime I've joined the spn_challenges and spn_halloween communities. At least I think I did. Hope it worked. Now I just pray that the Papas deign to accept me. Please guys. PapaHot! Papa may be dead, but not forgotten, and I haven't got the inimitable Dodger Winslow's cool John Lives image on my desktop for nothing!
Time to sit down and write a Halloween story. Hmmm John and Halloween, now that raises a number of interesting images in my head. Quick lackey, bring me that quill! And the info on how to lj_cut, like now dude. What do you mean you're busy watching JDM do a killer demon monologue? Damn it is hard to get good servants these days. They're just so shallow.
