Yowza!

I've written three WhiCo fics just today - that makes it seven unbeta'ed fics on my HDD. Anyone willing to beta at least the shortest one? Please? The fics keep piling up here...

SEVEN! Wow.... I'd offer to beta read but I'm no good at it. At least I don't think I would be - I miss a lot of stuff in my own stories.

Hehe, no problem. Like, I'm a good translator but I wouldn't make a good editor since I miss a lot of stuff in my translations too.

And yup, seven. One kink, one AU, two future!fics, one sequel, one coda and one fic where Peter and Neal just talk over dinner :P

I can't beta, but have you tried asking at one of the WC fic comms?

I thought of it but I prefer being torn to pieces by friends XD My usual beta has been sick these days so I don't want to bother her...

If you're up to my brand of cruelness betaing, feel free to slide me one or two. :)

Hehe, I rather like your beta style! I chose one of the shortest, if you could look at it? It's just around 500 words.

Thank you so much for your awesome beta. I love the way you edit fics, it allows me to actually learn something, especially phrases. And I'm also glad that you liked the fic - and I'm looking forward to yours!

I'm thinking of posting the fic we talked about under lock here, just for my friends. I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers with it - fanfiction should be fun, it shouldn't hurt anyone.

It's the teacher in me. :) I can't just say "fix this" without saying why. :)

Glad it works for you. :)
