one last beta plea:

more than 100K of singin in the rain-based threesome fic, revised to nc-17 rating, 45-page length, hopefully funny and uplifting. i mean, i can just post without a beta, but it's *awfully* long for that.

I don't know exactly how in-depth a beta you're looking for, but if you still need someone, I'm willing to at least give it a shot.

hey, sure. i'll e-mail it to you.

i'm looking for an opinion with more distance than mine has. to tell me if you can't follow something, or if i get too mushy, or if the sex doesn't segue well into the rest of the text. y'know.

thanks a mil! <3

It's been ten days since you posted this, but I just wandered into your journal.

If you would like another person to look at it, I would be more than glad to nitpick. Otherwise, I shall simply expire of joy when you post the finished product.

nope, don't need any help, my beloved beta has come back from the dead and she's going to do it.

you know, the picture's rather dark there. your icon i mean. you should lighten it.

is that your favorite scene, too?

'oh, don! you're a genius!'
'well, i'm glad you thought of it.'
'oh, cosmo.' ::kiss::
:O!

if you're a sitr threesome fan i may have to friend you.

Huh; it doesn't look dark to me. Perhaps it's a screen difference. When I get ambitious again I may well lighten it. Thanks for the comment.

Yes, it is my favorite scene, actually. They're so Cute.

I can't write SitR very /well/ -- the vaudevillian banter does not come naturally to me -- but I've tried. My fic site (http://romantic.frenchboys.net/petra/) has a brief Don/Cosmo, a threesome drabble, and Kathy/Lena simply because I wanted to see if it could work.

I may have to friend you likewise.

ah, you're probably right.

this monitor is my uncle's, and it's high-res and very expensive but weird. sometimes things (particularly screencaps, grr) show up dark and hard to distinguish.

i read your little snippets but they're mere mouthfuls! so short! i couldn't make myself read kathy/lina. it's just so... ah. you know. i *was* thinking about putting lina with zelda. i think that could work.
