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.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

(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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

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?

That'll work, Anne
