Shout out for a Beta

[icarus]

singtoangels has been a doll helping with the Percy Ficathon site. So she asked me if I could find her a beta for her story.

Well, I couldn't find one right away, so darn it, I volunteered to do it myself.

I am cursing up a storm right about now.

I stayed home from school today, as I have an all-day conference on Saturday and a group project meeting on Sunday. I relaxed this morning by going through her story with a fine-toothed comb. Now, I'd only saved it to the Temp folder, but I just stepped away for a bit because WG wanted to check his email. Of course he took over. All I asked was that he not close any of my files.

Yahoo was running a bit slow, so he closed some programs.

Including the story.

It's gone. I searched with Explorer and all I find is a broken shortcut. I've checked the Temp files, everything. It's vanished.

I've used up my allotment. I don't have any large patches of free time until Tuesday afternoon. That's why I took today off. Hell.

I'm going to take another shot at finding singtoangels a beta.

Would anyone like to beta her story?

There were no SPAG errors, and only a few word recommendations. Everything I wrote had to do with clarification, story development and characterisation. She's the same person who wrote Idyllic Days for the Percy Ficathon.

Now tonight WG and I are going to review the basics of Microsoft Word 101: Saving Files, because this is not the first time. Though this is partially my fault. I popped it open and started typing instead of saving it first.

While I'm being incorrigible and choosey (though if you said no, you're making none of these changes I still would be perfectly happy)... on the splash page Icarus Slash Fiction title, can we have the font that we have at the top of the index page? *g*

I'll be making the changes. I'm working on them right now. err ... nothing to do on a saturday. -_-

You like the font on the font titles to be all the same?

Heh. you liked the font, huh? that's my favourite font ...

Yeah, the Garamound is nice.

Help. I've tried to upload the Manjushri picture, and for some reason it comes out all distorted. Help. What am I doing wrong? The picture is saved correctly... (http://percyfest.muse-wanted.com/Icarus_Slash_Fiction/isf.htm)

In all honesty, i have no idea why it came out like that.

try re-saving and re-uploading it:

or

http://sams-corel.rocksyou.org/isf/

if it still doesn't work ... i'm sorry.

also, about the HP folders, why not do this:

-HP
-fics(folder)
-title.htm
-title.htm
-title.htm
-pairing.htm
-pairing(folder)
-hxd.htm
-rating.htm
-rating(folder)
-G.htm
-PG.htm
-PG13.htm
-R.htm
-NC17.htm

and so on and so forth. do you get it? :-?

Anyway, just a suggestion, knowing you have tons of fics and having them all grouped in one page only ... it might get devastating to load. 0.o
