In search of...

In search of...

Join us today for a mythical journey. In ancient time (six months ago) it was rumored that a fanfic author named "Icarus" had written her first full-length (~9,000 words) Supernatural story. Now, scientists have found evidence of a first draft that indicates it might be true. Others scoff, and claim that is Icarus in the middle of midterms and wouldn't be foolish enough to write a story.

Join as we go in search of... betas for Icarus' story.

*cue music*

Anyone interested? ([livejournal.com profile] monanotlisa, it's that Sam/transvestite fic, back from the dead.)

Sure, no sweat.

Um. Am I somehow not getting it when I click on the link and can't see any connectin whatsoever between Mother Theresa and Sam with a Transexual? I'm genuinely puzzled.

Oh! I was only referring to the first passage; didn't assume you'd read further after that explanation for my lack of time.

Oh!

I was going to some very strange places trying to figure this one out....

I would like to beta, if you'll have me! My approach tends to vary from the very detailed point-by-point "I don't like this word" to the "yes, fine, yes fine, really, I like it"

*cracks up at your icon*

Yes, we do have brooding.

I'm sending it along as we speak.

Sent! (Ignore the other comment -- it was supposed to go to Mona. Oops.)

I also sent an extra scene in a follow-up email, just now.

ugh, dammit, I have received no emails from you so far! I'm hoping it's just a hang up and they will have arrived by the time I get back from the shops, but just in case... ripe_black_goddess @ yahoo.co.uk
Better to have it all three times than not to have it at all!

Is it the fic that's back from the dead or just the transvestite? *is interested in a depressed sort of way* I like Supernatural fanfiction rather more than the actual show.

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2007-11-05 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
The fic. The bulk of it is unmitigated porn. I have a fascination with pre-series SPN fic.

Though now I have this image of a transvestite zombie rising from the grave. A few missing garter straps. Lee Pree-On nails still clinging to overgrown yellowed claws, and the synthetic wig still intact....

[identity profile] auburnnothenna.livejournal.com 2007-11-05 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be one pissed-off zombie. "Loo a eee, I ol em oo urree me in ee Arrreeeein Oooonroooh no ee U'y Arrrr'and owfi-- "

Sam blows it full of rock salt and it tumbles down, poodle skirt flying up.

Dean turns his face. "Jeez, I really didn't need to know what was under there."

"Man, I couldn't tell what it was trying to say, what with it only having about half a tongue left," Sam says. "Think it was important?"

With a shrug, Dean replies, "Only if you're more a fan of Marilyn Monroe than Judy Garland." He smirks at Sam. "You always struck me as the Judy type of girl, Sammy."

Sam glares.

"The other barrel is still loaded, Dean."

LOL! Oh, you so have to write SPN fanfic.

*re-reads, delighted*

[identity profile] auburnnothenna.livejournal.com 2007-11-05 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Sheeeeit, I think I just popped my SPN cherry. Don't tell anyone! I don't want anyone thinking I'm a fandom slut.

[identity profile] pxr5.livejournal.com 2007-11-05 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm interested!

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2007-11-05 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Okey-dokey. What email do I send it to?

Icarus

[identity profile] pxr5.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
akomins at uchicago dot edu, please :-)

[identity profile] icarusancalion.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Right on, and thank you.

Okay, you got it? I also emailed an extra scene, a coda or epilogue if it were.

Icarus

[identity profile] pxr5.livejournal.com 2007-11-06 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, I got it. I've got a bit of an insane day here at work (solid meetings from 7:30am - 4pm), but I should be able to take a look tonight.

thanks!
