I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

erika - Just letting you know I haven't forgotten you and I am betaing your stuff. Just been busy.

Oh, well, hurry... don't wanna disappoint my fan. It's okay...really need to temper my feedback junkie ways.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I'm looking for a beta reader or two who's willing to take a look at my WIP. It's still rough and 150-200 pages from being finished (it's around 300 pages now), so I'm looking for big picture stuff--i.e. do the characters and story pretty much work, and if not, what might make them work better.

Given the market I'm targeting, I'm looking for a beta who enjoys military historicals and/or historical fantasy, just to make sure I'm hitting that Bernard Cornwell-Patrick O'Brian-Naomi Novik sweet spot.

The fences prompt is now closed.

The new prompt is medium.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Next thread title, can we have "The Great Write Way, Act Four: Where's the gin?", because that's what I've been reading in Message Center for a while now.

And in real life.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Nonsense. A writer always knows where the gin is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So that's my problem.
