Clever rhiannonhero is developing new talents, i.e., vidding, but she needs to get off of QaF and do SV instead, so everyone please pester her with that goal in mind.

I keep reading about a new HP story by pandarus that is apparently incredible, and I'd believe it, but I don't want to read an HP story. The idea just squicks me, frankly, and I wish someone would tell me why it shouldn't so that I might readily justify enjoyment of stories by authors I already like very much. I've tried to circumvent the squicks, even. I haven't read all the books, and I have no clue who Sirius and Remus even are (contemporaries of Harry's dad, I'd assume), so I thought I'd be safe: I read a Sirius/Remus story the other day that was just devastatingly lovely and romantic but the word "Hogwarts" ruined it for me, and it was as though I was suddenly a Very Bad Woman reading porn to my 10-year-old niece and trying to force her to act it all out with Harry Potter Legos.

I'm at the end of writing something, and I'm >this< far from sending it to beta, but I haven't got the fucking last line(s). I never do. It took me a day to write the story, and now another day to avoid nonexistent last lines.

It is. It's kind of embarrassing to post those results. It's like showing around an unflattering picture of some already-unattractive part of my body.

So are you going to agree to beta this thing for me? I don't really expect you to do it, but at least say you will.

[stone-princess.livejournal.com]

But if I say I will and then I don't, you'll think less of me.

p.s. I'm eating butter.

No, I won't. There were a couple of ways to go with your non-betaing, and I chose to find it endearing. Now I count on you to not beta things.

Are you eating it with a spoon? or just off your finger? If you peel the paper off the stick and gnaw on it, that's excessive.

I would LOVE to beta for you. It'll probably be a day or so, unless it snows, and then I'll get to it first thing tomorrow.

I'm eating it off the end of a (butter) knife. Is that okay?

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

As long as you don't run with the knife in your mouth, you should be fine.

I am giving myself an hour to come up with an ending sentence. If I can't do it, then I'll just send it as-is and figure out the last line(s) later. Or I'll run a contest for someone else to come up with one.
