He was trying to be HELPFUL! and PROACTIVE

I know! I'm such a bitch for turning him down!

Thing is, the betas I used: (1) is a long-time Narnia fan and writer (Snacky); (2) is a British fan and writer who knows a helluva lot about WII UK (Finisterre). I couldn't have hoped for better betas, and I'm betting that at least some of the Britpicks/errors this guy wanted to fix were questions of style or interpretation rather than correctness.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Gah. That sort of presumption is some kind of special.

I've been reccing Carpetbaggers to anyone I know who likes Narnia fic.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Well, I just finished writing 32k of Discworld fic. That's certainly a thing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Is finished? (she asked, hopeful)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Anne, did you get your chat? Can you share what set you off? Or is it all behind you now and better left there?

Also, yay, Holli!

Congratulations, Holli!

Bev, I didn't get the chat, but I think I'll be okay. I may email you later, if that's all right with you. A good night's sleep might help me get some perspective.

It is done! Needs a beta, if anyone's interested.

Holli, I would be delighted. How quickly were you hoping for a turnaround?

I don't actually know how long it would take to beta-- this is the second-longest story I've ever written! As long as you need, I suppose?
