Beta? she asked sheepishly.

[icarus]

I was wondering if one or another of my SG-1/SGA f-listers might be willing to beta my hacked apart and put together Colony Atlantis?

It's Jack/Daniel, but SGA compliant. It's the only crossover I've ever written.

SGA-wise, it only uses characters you've seen in "Rising" and "Home" and contains no arcane canon references (save a reference to the N.I.D. but that's easy to get from context). As for SG-1, c'mon... it's Jack/Daniel.

Please bear in mind that I do not deserve beta help.

While I did complete the beta on verstehen's fic Butterflies and Hurricanes, I, uh, completely fell down on the job with stellahobbit's Microscopic (okay, it's a sort-of-deathfic, which I don't read usually, yet it has a haunting lyrical quality that still has me thinking about it -- but I ran out of time trying to sort through my reactions to the story that I never really got down to editing, especially when I learned she had two betas for it. Sorry, Stella. *wince*).

If you're willing to forgive my negligence fandom, I would greatly appreciate the help.

You need a beta? I'll do it. I like beta-ing. Of course, only if you're willing to wait until I make a little more headway on this Seamus/Draco I'm writing. 2500 words, and I'm still just getting plot stuff out of the way...

How long do you think it would be?

I'm sending it to Grey Bard (below) but I've three papers to write this weekend, so that may slow me down, too.

Send it my way whenever you get a chance. I'm ready to shoot this fic, and I'll get at least part of the beta done tonight before bed (during SG-1 commercials, obviously), and since all I do in life is read and watch telly, I've got time whenever.

Wonderful, thank you. What email should I send it to?

Icarus

[krissielee.livejournal.com]

I've only got the one, krissielee @ gmail . com

Minus the spaces, obviously.

Thank you. It's on its way!

You're welcome! I'll get it back to you ASAP...though I might not be the best about the SGA bits you said you're concerned with, seeing as I've only seen one episode of it, and even then, got bored halfway through and wandered off to read my history book. ^^;;; One of my best mates watches it as religiously as SG1, though, so I might ask her to check over for that, if that's okay with you...

That's fine -- the more, the merrier. :)

Just making sure. ^_^ Because I know I'd never be able to help with anything SGA-related without someone else doing that part.

I'll beta, if you'll have me. I like doing it, and the people I usually beta for in other fandoms don't seem to mind. Fair warning, though, I tend to be really detail-oriented plotwise.

Wonderful, and thank you. What email should I send it to?

(Sorry about the spaces, I've been botted by Nigerian spamscammers too many times in the past)

Ah, you could have sent it to me! I wouldn't have minded at all. Don't let it get you down :-)

I just got back from holidays or else I would have found this post earlier. It's probably already been beta'd by now, but I have no problems with taking a look at your SG-1/SGA stuff, just for future reference.
