Concerning the RPS  
So, uhm, yeah. The QaF RPS fic is finished. Wanna know how I finished it?

It went something like this...

Pre-Beta:
[info]queenofalostart: Gale sounds like a woman.
[info]misswindy: I love it! But Gale sounds like a teenaged girl.
[info]rhiannonhero: Pretty! Write more.

Beta the First:
[info]queenofalostart: Gale still sounds like a woman. And the ending sucks.
[info]misswindy: Get rid of everything that is cringeworthy. And the ending sucks.
[info]rhiannonhero: Okay, some parts are a little effeminate. The ending is mediocre. And, and, where is the aaaaangst?

Beta the Second:
[info]queenofalostart: Your pr0n sounds like it's straight out of a bodice ripper. And Gale is acting against human nature.
[info]misswindy: *silence*
[info]rhiannonhero: I love it! Brilliant! Now you must reword everything.

I love you guys. You're merciless, but I love you. You're all brilliant writers. Thank you for wasting your time on me. I very much appreciate it.

<3<3<3

[info]queenofalostart -- sorry about the whole Gale acting against human nature thing. I tried to adjust things, but I didn't try very hard (read: lazy). [info]misswindy I was impatient, so I posted it. But whenever you get that last beta to me I will be sure to edit your input into the story. [info]rhiannonhero -- I added back the last part as you suggested. Unfortunately I butchered it a while back and couldn't put it back entirely the way it was. I strongly suspect that my ending is horrible, and if so, then everyone has my most sincere apologies.



The story's in the next post. And just so you know? POV is the devil.

I'm sorry, love, the family was over last night and I fell asleep watching the Oscars. :( I'll try to get to it tonight.

Okay, no worries. I look forward to it.

*dies laughing*

OMG! If your representation is accurate, then it is true what all the people I beta say--

I'm like someone's old auntie, all encouraging and stuff, and then I hit you on the knuckles with my wooden spoon. I'm so lame!!!!!

Oh, you're not lame. And really -- why was I using the word "then" so much? It was like some nervous tick, spastically typing the word in every two sentences.

;o)

Oh, I've heard from other people that I'm too kindly in my betas when compared to other people. I've literally been compared to someone's old aunt. hehe.
