Virgina Woolf would approve of fanfic...

LOL - well if she'd posted it to SATS like that - yeah- but since she was actually asking for help... and you had some really good points.
I wonder if English is a second language for her? I kinda hope so from all the mistakes /o\
I would totally offer to beta it for her - but I don't have time right now to do a major fic overhaul.- I usually don't mind tho- cause like Virginia said that's how you learn. :)
