Take that back! You so do not.

Hey! You take that back too!
Crazy women.

I'm surprised people weren't publishing with beta notes still in the final versions of their stories.
See, I don't get that. I NEVER use the file that went through beta as the file that I post. It's more complicated, but I sit with the beta in one window and the story in the other, and make the changes. Besides, I might have changed the story since I sent it to beta.
As for colored comments, it's useful, but then not everyone uses Word. When I work with Marasmus, it's a problem, because she's on a Mac and the only thing we can use is .txt files.
Speaking of fic, I have badfic in my inbox this morning. Not just badfic, either, but bad songfic.
I blame Shrift and Dana. Dammit.

Anything long, I have two beta passes at least, so I do it this way.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
What with being out of town this past week, I forgot to say that Bright Shiny Objects has been updated. I feel kind of sheepish because I was too disorganized to send the recs in this month, so the update is short on Jossverse stuff (which is my part most of the time.) There were some excellent Firefly fic I wanted to rec, which will have to wait until the next update.
There is one Gilmore Girls story (a gorgeous Luke/Lorelei) in that update that tweaks my heartstring just so. I'd be all kind of fannish about GG, if only it weren't airing at the same time as Buffy. Sigh.
Oh, and someone on GO recc'd this cute Stargate fic yesterday, which I loved. It made me burst out into laughter several times.
Edited, as usual, for stoopid grammar.

I blame Shrift and Dana.
Actually, that one's my fault. I didn't want to, believe me...

Me too. That's how I work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, how...patronizing.

Consuela, is it worth reading or only a source of wincing?

It's USA Today. That said, it's not quite as patronizing as it could be. Of course, it's chock-full of the standard inaccuracies.
