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.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Strawberry disappointment.
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.

Deena, Elena. Thanks. It's about 6,800 at the moment ... it's not even a quarter finished. But rather than carrying on regardless, I thought I better see if it was worth carrying on.
Aaaanyway, it doesn't need to be looked at tonight or anything, I thought I'd have some fun with my very own shiney writers block before carrying on.
It can be found here.
It's set after S1 Angel and S4 Buffy.

Thanks for all the fish.
UTTAD, if you could mail it to me (profile address) as a Word doc or a text file, that would make it easier for a thorough beta. If you just want a read and dis or en couragement, I'll pop to the site.

Thrive to spite them
If it's early Faith then you'll have to rely on someone else, I'm really iffy on that.

Thanks for all the fish.
You do such good Faith. And I'm not so sure that she's changed all that much over the years. Seriously. Because even the whole redemption thing was there - I think - in season 3. She just repressed it quite handily.

Thrive to spite them
Yeah, but I didn't see much of season 3. Okay, yeah, I saw her hold a knife to Willow's throat and I saw her, um, with the Mayor a couple of times, and the one with the fake watcher bitch.
But the big stabbing for blood to save Angel and the body switch and all that...haven't seen it.

Man alive! Do you want me to send you tapes?
