yuletide request

[raven]

Applications - DONE. Thank god for that. I've done thirteen of the things in the last week. I just polished off the last one, shamefully didn't even proof-read, sent it off with a sort of manic clicking of mouse buttons, and I am DONE.

And the next thing on the to-do list - yuletide. I have about two thousand words written, with another thousand to go, which is a good thing, seeing as I only just realised the deadline is this Tuesday. Eeeek. Anyway, down to brass tacks and all that. I need a beta. Obviously I can't tell you for which fandom, and besides it seems to be really incredibly obscure - a Google search for "[name of fandom] fanfiction" brings up nothing at all, so I'm kinda stumped. So... does anyone feel like doing a fandom-unseen beta for me? It's slash, PG-13, sort of light gen-humour-type-stuff, and has no plot or indeed much of a point. All I need is someone to check that I haven't made any stylistic howlers. Any takers? I will give you cookies. I'm baking them tomorrow. I bought chocolate chips and everything.

Right. Now, back to watching The West Wing. My applications are done!

Oh, go on then.

So long as familiarity with canon isn't a requirement.

Congratulations on the applications! I'm excited for you--they sound like such good jobs. I'm in the midst of "applying" for jobs myself... by which I mean pretending to consider options, none of which appeal to me. So here's hoping you get an interesting one, so that I can get some vicarious enjoyment out of it. :D

When will you need the beta? I am, of course, ALWAYS happy to work for you, but this season is crazy for me and the timing could be difficult.

Heee, thank you! *g* I'm finding myself wondering what material I can get to write about from it, which worries me a lot.

I hesitate to say anything about this story, because it is all AARGH OMG AARGH at the moment. The deadline is this Tuesday night, and it looks like I won't even finish in time! If by any chance I do, can I send it across to you just to read it briefly? Nothing in-depth at all, just a quick thing.

I feel the same way about every job I take. I figure as long as I'm doing pointless tasks, I might as well get writing fodder from them.

Eek! I will do anything I can to help. I'll be in and out of the house over the next few days, but I'll keep an eye on email so I can jump on it if/when it arrives.

I could take a look at it... All I have for the next few days is a 20 page paper to write, and one does need breaks occasionally.

Heee, thank you so much. I will send it along when finished, which will hopefully be tonight. Hopefully. Ohgod.

I've been reading your journal on and off all afternoon, and it's been most enjoyable. I came across it as you also like 'disused underground stations'! I also read philosophy (and French) at Oxford, but graduated in 2003. I shall be adding you!

I'm Mia, by the way, and I now work in the British Museum, and I have a lovely partner strnggrl, who is Indian and I've just been to Bombay and stayed with her family. Yes.

Heee, I'm so glad you're enjoying my journal. Nice to meet you. Did you like India?
