Beta? McShep Match story?

[icarus]

Crusing for Betas

Last week I was tapped to pinch-hit for mcshep_match. I have the story sketched out in very rough form (i.e., dialogue with minimal description typed in chat). I should have it ready for beta tomorrow. Hopefully. At this point it looks like it will be 10 to 20k words once I've fleshed it out.

Of course it's due, um, Saturday aha! Sunday.

Yes, yes, this Saturday Sunday, as in two-days-from-now three whole-days-from-now Sunday as in one-day-to-do-the-beta two-luxurious-days-to-do-the-beta Saturday Sunday. (Stop scowling at me, it's a pinch-hit and I wrote it during finals.)

Is anyone up for a pre-scheduled, fast-turnaround beta Friday or early Saturday? I don't have it ready now, but tomorrow, yes.

Please and very thank you. *bows*


ETA: Ah, got the day wrong. It seems like so much time now.

Okay, I'm way behind, so I'm sending you the first half while I work on the rest.

Got it. What time tomorrow does this all need to be done by?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Hmm. You'd think I'd know the answer to that, wouldn't you?

They say here you need to be done at the end of Sunday (http://community.livejournal.com/mcshep_match/34662.html). That would be Sunday, PST my time zone.

The good news is that I mostly wrote this in chat, so other than my struggles with the beginning, it's pretty much written. It just needs the individual scenes fleshed out with description, etc. The ground is plowed, pre-seeded, I just need to water and tend it into bloom. That's why it's going so fast.

Yes! *pumps fist in the air* Just finished! At 9105 words.

I'm sending the whole thing right this second.

Yay! Totally new subject!

On a totally different subject, I finally got my act together and created a podfic page for my website (http://www.icarus.slashcity.net/podfic.html). Hoo-rah! I have the one I did, the porn my boyfriend read, and of course, front and center, yours.

I don't suppose you're still interested in recording more fics? *hint-hint*

Ummmm, ask me again after sgabigbangs are due, which is in another couple of weeks. I really mean it, I am interested, but my brain is a sieve, so don't rely on me to actually remember that I am interested. So, take a look through your stuff and find something you'd like read, and then get back to me? Would that be alright?

Yes, I would like of course Out Of Bounds (when it's done, someday...). But in the immediate future -- my mcshep_match fic which you helped beta. *g*
