(I actually tend to think that prose, written on skin, is a lot hotter than poetry written on skin.)
I can't even express how much I love it that you make the distinction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Transfigurations by Resonant. HP 'verse futurefic, post-war. Malfoy/Potter, but plotty like a plotty plotty thing from plotville.
Lovely.

Huge wrod. I'm still composing a feedback letter for her. I'm counting the superlatives.

I do really think that it's important, actually-- because the whole point of poetry is that it has linebreaks, which are another kind of punctuation, another way to give shape to the words as they lie on the flat surface of the page. Poetry written on any sort of curved or jagged surface is redundant, and kind of awkward-feeling. I mean.

RL, did you, by any chance, get a package from (me)Greg?

Great, I had to sign off the phones while reading the last bit of "Transfigurations", especially when Harry made the garden. Now I have a headache, but I'm happy.

Strawberry disappointment.
How d'you go about getting something beta read?

You ask and someone says, "Me, me, send it to me!" and sometimes two or three people say it, so you send it to whomever said me and then you wait for a response. Often, who responds depends on who's around when you ask and/or what fandom it is.

Thank you. So, um, does someone want to beta a Faithfic I'm writing? Basically need it deUked more than anything else. Well, I hope that's all, anyway.

Uttad, I'll do it if it can come back to you tomorrow, though it might be later tonight. Askye has a good Faith voice and Elena and Connie are brilliant betas if you need more. Profile address is good. I think I'm okay at un-UKing things, but I cut my teeth on British authors and still prefer the "right" spelling of a lot of words to the American ones, so I'm not promising to catch everything.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, leave the UK spellings, I say. I always do. The important thing is to get rid of UKisms and references that Faith wouldn't know.
How long is it UTTAD? I've got a beta to do tonight, but if it's short I should be able to do it by morning.
