Is there a beta in the house?

Dec 19, 2007 00:12


More than a year and thirty-odd pages later, I think this thing may finally be done. As a bonus, it might even be coherent this time. Any of you up for telling me whether that's just wishful thinking?

What, you want actual details? Oh, fine then. It's SG:A, John/Rodney, and going on 12,000 words. Some of you might even have seen it before, back when ( Read more... )

sga, betaness, writing shenanigans

Whee! Thank you! I'll ship it over as soon as I get through one more read through to ensure a lack of overt stupidity. *g*

Ahaahah. This just reminds me about what a crazy self-editor you are. :>

Heh. This one is too long for me to be good at it, though. I keep wandering off mid-read to amuse myself. *g*

Eee! New fic from you! *twirls you* &hearts

If you need a second pair of eyes I'm available as well.

A second pair of eyes is always appreciated, and especially when they're yours. It'll be on its way momentarily, since I've given up on the pretense I can stare at it any more. :P

(Also: oh, the irony. I had to edit the comment. *snort*)

What... you mean it is finished???? *checks herself for grey hairs* Finished and I am not eighty years old? *checks for four horse men and an angel weilding a flaming sword*

It seems you have many readers, so I will just sit here in astonished awe. :P

Smartass. :P

Yep, it's done. (I think.) I wound up going back and doing exactly what I said I was not going to do and making it more linear, largely because when I came back to it even I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. On the plus side, your in media res idea and the wonky in-and-out style from the original edition got cannibalized into a different fic, and that one seems to take to both fairly naturally. Or, you know, at least it doesn't leave me blinking with confusion. *g*

Although, the angel with the pointy flamethrower might be kind of awesome to see...

Finished and I the show itself hasn't ended. I've changed my mind, doomsday has come!

*ducks*

Bwahaha. Glad to see that you got two stories out of it even, and aha! I was not the only one who sort of went 'bzuh?' over what precisely was going on there. Yay for sense making. Long may it roam.

Mmm. I get the feeling as it makes the rivers run molten, that it is a might big pointy flame thrower too.

Several hours later - do you need another set of eyes? Or are you set?

Thanks! I'm always glad for more eyes. (Which... sounds kind of creepy, really. Huh.)

If you've got an email I can ship it to, I'll send it your way.
