beta request and randomness

[salixbabylon]

Bored? Got some time on your hands? Want to make me happy?

All 12 11 6 4 of those fics I posted in the last week need to be proof-read by somebody, with an eye for typos and commas. All are around 1000-2000 words, so you already know what you're getting into. Any volunteers, please?

ETA: helena_s_renn stepped up and did a bunch of them.

The ones that still need a read-through are: Harry's Favorite Sandwiches, Naughty Padawans, Promises in the Dark, and Why Harry and Ron Were Late.

Pretty please?

Random thoughts:

1) It's very amusing to me that I got multiple requests for threesomes, first-times, leather, and on-his-knees/submission. Not that those aren't my own personal kinks too (quite the opposite in fact, which makes it even more funny), but that the widespread shared-kink mentality amuses me. Apparently most of my friends are a bunch of very deviant women.

Damn, I love having a crowd I finally fit into. ;)

2) Writing twelve fics in about two weeks really highlights all the words and phrases and set-ups that I over-use and abuse. I am sick to death of my writing style, of my long, conversational run-on sentences, and my massive abuse of italicization. I don't ever want to write again.

On the other hand, I want to finally fucking finish that VS sequel next month. For reals this time.

Blech. Perhaps I will take my writing problems to the writer's clinic for some advice...

I've listed all of the to-be-done fics in the ETA comment - feel free to read/proof as few or as many as you like.

Helena left me a comment for each fic she did with instructions like this: //paragraph 3, line 2 - delete comma "sincerly, tried"// and etc. If that works for you, great - if not, send me an email. :)
