I just finished my Remix fic, and let me tell you, it was like pulling teeth. The resulting story is... *frowns*

It needs a beta. Badly.

I had no chance to work on it before yesterday, so I picked an easy story to remix and then did a Namowrimo -- just type and keep typing till you hit the end.

Beta? Anyone? (She asked desperately.) It's SGA and has sex.

Well, that's... good. *weak smile* So, that version I e-mailed back - that's constructive, instead of hidiously picky and megalomaniacal and obnoxious? Because I think I may have gotten a teensy bit carried away with the bracketing and the bold-text.

Oh, this is what I was looking for: specifics. And I like how you ask questions to draw out the edits.

I just finished extensive edits and a re-write of the entire second half. Both you and [livejournal.com profile] mad_maudlin saw the same structural problems that I did -- and saw something that I hadn't noticed: the lack of insight into what was going on in John's head in the second half. I realized why that was (I didn't buy the second half, personally) so I found a way to write the same thing in a way I believed it.

Hopefully you'll see this and have a final look sometime tonight. Because the changes I made were too radical to consider them beta'd at this point.
