'Life of the Party'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
How many pages did you get, Jilli? More than 20? Then fuck it: you did fine.
Ain't no arterial blood, ain't no house on fire, ain't no lurching zombies less than 5 feet away from you, and you with no weapon. It was a goal. You didn't hit it. Are you giving up?
NO? Well, then. Win!

Cool.
Awesome!
I'm looking for a beta for a 4000 word essay that feels sort of wooden and disconnected to me. I think I just sound like a smug asshole, which is usually fine, but then I kind of want the reader to be on my side, so :/
If anyone's available and feels like a few lines of feedback, that would be great! Email is Allyson dot Beatrice at gmail.
I could do it, Allyson. Send it to my profile address.
insent, Allyson.
I don't get to pee for another hour...and yet? Still beats Rock Class.
Although the one that broke my junior Poindexter brain, um, more than it was already, was when adults tried to motivate me with "Can't isn't a word," Which it obviously was in sentences like:
Erika can't walk.
Erika can't stand unassisted.
Now, what I think they meant is that it shouldn't be the *final* word in regards to things like fractions and try harder,but you know.
Thanks a ton, erika!
Minor grumble. If you are copy-editing a manuscript which is required to to conform with Chicago Style Manual, you should not have to put in an author query asking what 4(4) in a citation of a journal is. Chicago standard for Volume 4 Issue 4.
