I'm reading such a rigourously spell-checked long fic. So almost every word is good (she slipped a Casitel in there somehow), but it's taunt and shuttered and causalities and brakes, etc. There's a spelling or capitalisation issue in just about every screen of words.

I took a break to read more Outlander, and it felt refreshing that the right words were in the right sentences.

But I need to know how the fic ends, and can't tear myself away.

Okay, I've made peace with a lot, but;

Castiel and Crowley moaned as they made-out, starting to feel hard bugles at their pants.

REALLY? That's two hellas of re-erection. At least.

This makes me think of corn chips. [link] I'm pretty sure the author doesn't want me thinking about corn chips at that juncture. If one believes in authorial intent. Which, this far at least, I do.

Do they play Taps? Or would reveille be more appropriate given the circumstances?

I'm hearing that "waa-waa-waa-waaaa" noise of futility.

I like that version better.

(cross-posted to Literary) Is there anyone out there who would be willing to beta-read a Code Name Verity fic I'm finishing up for Yuletide. Right now, I mostly need someone to help check character voices and to make sure I didn't muff any major bits of canon.

Anne, if you can't find anyone, I'd be willing. I've read it reasonably recently, though I can't swear I have the voices perfectly in my memory.

The unique, funnel shape delivers a crispy corn crunch

Perfect!

Debet, that would be fabulous! I just want to make sure the thing (about 3k words) holds together. Is your profile addy the best way to get it to you?
