Well, at least the first draft. Which may or may not require someone fluent in French for some of the dialogue, unless I dispense with that idea. And which definitely requires a beta or two to send it to when I'm done. Ack.

1. Make posts for Children's Book Week. There are so many Children's and YA books I'd like to gush about ( Read more... )

I wish you the best of luck not doing anything of these things!

But hey, if you need a beta? I am available. Just saying. (Not fluent in French, though I do know the basics.)

Ooh. That would be awesome, thank you! :D The story should be done in the next couple of days... Hmm. I should probably message you about the pairing, just so you are aware of what you might be getting into.

I look forward to your post on the YA lit, if you ever get around to it. Good luck with your story.

Yay! I look forward to reading your YA lit posts; there's a ton of good stuff out there that I know I should be reading. (Just bought The True Meaning Of Smekday, which jadelennox requests for Yuletide so I know it must be good. :))

I'd be glad to informally beta your fic, although I don't necessarily have the experience to be the only beta. My French is okay and even tolerably colloquial in spots, although not fluent.

I've been meaning to read The True Meaning of Smekday! It looks really fun.

Thank you so much for the beta offer! I am almost certainly going to take you up on it. It sounds like your French is at the very least better than mine (hooray for colloquial), so that part will be especially helpful. :)

Well, this post is just the ideal... I have no idea if I can manage to follow my own guidelines. I can try, though!

Thanks! Hopefully they'll happen sooner rather than later. :)
