public praise

[salixbabylon]

I just wanted to post that I am SO in love with heartofslash who did the most wonderful job of betaing for me. It's always difficult to beta for someone the first time, when you aren't sure if they're going to think you're being a bitch and over-react or not. I really so very much appreciate your very detailed comments and thoughts and corrections and and and... *loves*


(And *love* for lostiawen, too, my beta since the beginning, who could use some love of her own. Your efforts and time are also much appreciated. *g* {This does NOT mean a rush job at all, either - I'm still mired in thesis-land.} )

Doesn't it just give you warmfuzzies? ;)

Actually, I'm glad that Haleth helped you out, because I'm sick as a dog right now and I can barely write anything down. I took a day off from work today, and I've been asleep, but I feel like I've got some sort of fever still raging through my body, even after all that rest.

I saw that you're sick - I hope you get over that. My Dwarf is down with a sore throat and fever (I'm praying I don't get it - I don't need any more stress right now!).

Get more rest - and slash! - slash is the medicine that cures all ills, but slash that you read, not slash you work on. Take a half dozen drabbles and one multi-pairing epic and call me in the morning.
(we're trying to cure imrk2003's infected finger with Brad Pitt picspams and Achilles fics ;-)

*massive massive smooch*

I was so nervous, beta-ing alonside Lostiawen, the kinkqueen! I'm glad you liked it. I sure enjoyed working on it. And I can't wait to read the finished product!

Awww, thanks, Haleth. But I'm too loopy to really read, either. All I can do is have loopy dreams about having weird plants growing out of my body. :P

Plants growing out of your body?????

I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure that's not, you know, normal.

If you can't read, you'll have to think the slash. Try to imagine Legolas bathing naked in a stream with Eomer, and then Eomer gets a cold and Legolas nurses him back to health. It could involve, oh, I don't know, warm blankets and fluffy pillows and hot tea with honey and massages with almond oil and tongue baths and some more massaging... is it warm in here?

My dreams are very strange. And that's one of my more coherent/less disturbing ones.

Eeek! Okay, my fever just shot through the roof. :)

Nervous??? I don't see why, I'm perfectly harmless (unless I haven't had enough sleep, then I'm a cranky beta.) And it's not like I get to see your beta comments.

Lostiawen, the kinkqueen!
Me? Kinkqueen? No idea what you're talking about. Nope, nope. All of my fics have perfectly normal vanilla sex, and they kiss and hug a lot before the shagging starts. Honest.

Awww... *hug* I hope you're feeling much better today.

*smooches* Betaing for friendly-people can be so nerve wracking. It's much easier when you don't care if the other person hates you for being harsh.

I LOVE Losti's new title, KinkQueen! She should save that. ;)

I might edit today and post soon, depending on what Losti wants to do. I wouldn't want this to distract me from my thesis. *cough*

Had to take another day off, but I'm doing better after my nap.
