Betaaaaaaa?

[icepixie]

Anyone? I have a fic, B5, Ivanova/Garibaldi, 3000 words, not part of my big AU. I need someone to tell me whether it's crossed the line from cute/funny/fluffy to just ridiculous. (It would not be the first time.) I need another day or so with it for editorial purposes, so you'd get it tomorrow evening, most likely.

I'd be happy to beta this for you. Of course, I'm more likely to catch storyline inconsistencies rather than grammatical stuff (though I notice that, too; just not all of it) what with not being a native speaker.

However, I'm not free this weekend. I can do this Monday at the earliest.

Yay, thank you!

Storyline/characterization is what I want--I'm worried it's gone past "dorky charm" and into "everyone looks really foolish, actually." Grammatical stuff I can get on my own.

I'm going to be offline from Saturday morning until Monday evening while I move, and to be honest, there's a possibility I might not even finish my own edit until Monday because I still have all this packing to do. Getting it back sometime next week would not be a problem.

Could you PM me your e-mail address so that I can send the document when I finish it (or covert it to a Googledoc if that would be better for you)?

Haha, this sounds promising! I can't help you with the B5-related stuff, but I can screen for ridiculosity in general?

Haha, this sounds promising!

If by "promising" we mean "absurd," anyway...

Screening for ridculosity would be excellent! I'll forward you the file once I finish rewriting half of it editing...

That is so often what I mean by "promising"!
