Ah bribery...

So I missed the peer edit of our Lit papers. Um. Anyone want to beta something where Icarus pretends to be Profound and Interesting about Faulkner?

I pay in drabbles, your pairing and rating. *puppy dog eyes*

You just need for sense and style, not content? It's been about a while and a half since Faulkner for me.

Later tonight, though, I could have a look.

Thank you so much for jumping on this. As it works out, I heard from a classmate whose paper is also late, so we'll be checking each other's work.

When's it due, how long is it, and do you need any prior understanding of the subject? I can do it so long as it's not today and not 50,000 words. :)

It's overdue, it's short... and a classmate volunteered to look it over for me.

Gah. I've taken on too much.

Okay then. Hope it goes well. *cuddles*

Yeah, I will read yours, only if you promice to read mine. The thing is, thought, is that I am not even close to be done. You know, our first paper. Send it to me to vica93@hotmail.com, just make sure you put something recognizable into the subject line, because I will be fishing you out of my junkmail folder. Hugs. Vica.

I'm almost done with your fic betas! Hope you don't mind that I can't do the essay... *gazes longingly at Faulkner*

This paper is likely to be worthless as I have very little time to spend on it. [livejournal.com profile] vichka, who's in the same class, volunteered.

Whew.

If I don't have to pretend to understand it, sure. Never been good with literature here.

But, since fair's fair...look over my Ireland paper? 'Cause my usual academic beta is just as stressed as me, if not moreso, so I hesitate to dump on her when she's got protists and penis-fencing to worry about.

You have been spared one of my slapped together sucky essays. Alas, I'm swamped.

Um. I'm not doing well with my current class-load. Not doing well at all. I have something due tomorrow as well, and because it's not on that teacher's syllabus, hell if I know what it is.

*looks around sneakily, whips out Lit M.A. from pocket and flashes it in front of Icarus before stuffing it back into trench coat*

I'd be more than willing to beta for you. Just let me know.

*grin*

I would have as well Icarus, and it's my period as well... but you don't need it, apparently. For the record, you can always send me things like that (you have my email), although it'll have to fit my schedule. If it's 2500 or less though, it's unlikely to take me more than a day to get to it.
