Tie-breaker beta?

[icarus]

I have a tie.

No, not a necktie, there are none of those in this house.

I am ready to post the next part of Out Of Bounds. I am *this* close (makes little pinching gesture with thumb and forefinger) to posting it.

But first. I have a scene where one beta likes how it's written and the other does not. Usually where I suck, all betas see it and agree. They may see it from different angles but they see the same things. This time ... not so much. Several re-writes have not sufficed.

I need a tie-breaker beta.

What's in it for you?

You get to read the next scene -- nay, next three scenes, I'll throw in two more and a set of ginsu knives -- early.

How 'bout it? It's a short scene. Only 290 words is mucking up the works.

I'm behind on reading (by just a handful of parts). But if you don't have anyone yet, I could give it a whirl.

Yay! I don't. Where did you leave off? I can send all of them in one file, including the scene-of-writerly-frustration.

Crap. I've missed more than I realized. Still, not insurmountable.

First missed part was posted on 2-24. So, about four parts behind? I think.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Okay, I've sent it all.

I can help out, if you decide you're still in need.

Wyomingnot's got it, and I'm afraid to give it to two more betas. What if I end up with another tie? *bites nails*

[twistedrecesses.livejournal.com]

:D Guess I'll just have to be patient then.

Lol. I'm about getting out of my doldrums and reading the backlog of OoB emails is on my list of things to get done in the next few days. Which scene is it? If you reply to the comment and screen it immediately, I'll go and look it up and tell you what I think, if you want :)

Welcome back! It's the one called "next in line" -- starting with the line "an ancient 60s classic..."

*raises hand*

just in case.

*holding breath for next part of OoB*
Umm, did you want to tell me about the free style cossie at all?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, yes, yes! Let me send you an email.

Okay, it's sent. *bobs head eagerly*
