(psst, erika, don't believe Nilly. She gave me such a set of incredible betas that I told Ayelet Waldman to be jealous of me because of it.)

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
That's great, Nilly. And I'm still totally thrilled by the (groping) hands across the water thing we have going here...my dumb little story's going to Israel and I can sit here in my socks. Cool.ETA, insent to everyone that asked...now I'm thinking you'll be able to see every flaw, and that it's all embarrassing.(in a different way than my crossovers.)
erika, insent, with "track changes" turned on.
I'm embarrassed to have sent such a rough draft. But I didn't know I was. I'll bet that is a year old or something...I remembered it being more finished.
Erika, I know the feeling... something I got immediately after one of your e-mails to me, as I recall *g*.
Yeah, I guess. I tend to grade 'em in terms of how long I spent. Which really doesn't mean anything if you're not looking for/at the right things. I get too close too fast, and get so I can't see it outside of what I put in. And just cause I picture it, doesn't mean I put the reader there, exactly.Although maybe my contribution to letters is teaching Deena Fisher what a "skel' is.
I was actually thinking of burnt out cops there, but skels seemed so appropriate. You have most definitely contributed, but I've also read your writing. It's not the only contribution.
there's a slang word for that, too, which is on the tip of my tongue, but I guess it's not cool like "eyefuck" so I don't remember.
erike, a (sorry, belated) insent.
And deb made me blush.
I got it, Nilly. I just need to think about what to say back...you are such a genius. If I wrote Hebrew, (Which I, you know, don't. Despite my bogus Yiddish) I'm sure I'd write like Tonto. (Do you know who Tonto is? Well, anyway, he talks in fragments like "We go.")
