I have a draft! Also, beta, anyone?

Hi!

I would really like to give you my "reader's impressions" (of course, I can't do the grammar/language part) but if you'd like to, I can totally go with things like: "I'm confused", "I wanted to know why that happened this way" and "Gabriel is awsome..."

What do you say? It would be a pleasure to do this after all of the wonderful work you did for me.

"I'm confused" is definitely a valid reaction, given I have a habit of assuming the reader knows what I'm talking about a little too much with non-obvious things. :) Thank you - I shall email it!

[etoile_etiolee]

Yay! I'm waiting for it :)

I of course will offer, as a) I have already solicited a beta from you and b) I offered to months ago and never got back to you because I am a horrible, horrible person.

[whit_merule]

Yay! I remembered that you had, but of course, that didn't mean you'd have enough free time right after the randomly selected time at which I actually got a draft done. Shall email. :)

I wish I had time to beta for you, but I've got to finish my sabriel-mini draft and I think I'm using some of the same themes.

[whit_merule]

Yes, that could be tricky! More so perhaps because my sabriel mini is a What Dean Doesn't Know About timestamp for this story. :) Appreciated, anyway!

Like neotoma, I wish I had time to beta this, but I've barely been able to so much as check lj, let alone produce anything. Looking fascinating, though, and I'll be thrilled when it goes up. ;)

[whit_merule]

Not a problem, it's all going well. :) Hope yours is a good busy, not a stressful one!
