No AU today because I've been clearing a backlog of comments, some of you may have got lots of replies today, all I can say is sorry.

I've also been sending text message Busted threesome porn to [livejournal.com profile] seiyaharris and [livejournal.com profile] english_muffin while they're on holiday. Busted slash, it's good stuff if in a twisted freaky wrong way.

I wish I could get my LJ message thing to work. If anyone's on the O2 network and have got their mobile LJ thing working tell me the magic words please.

I said I'd be doing this. I'm on a beta call. This is egotistical but I'm proud of my AU, however, I think it could be much better. I've already got some betas but I never say no to anyone, especially people who aren't afraid to tell me when I mess up or push me when I'm lazy and just skim over things, because I do that a lot. So, any one willing to take on a grammar impaired lazy bog standard Brit writer?

I've been listening to MTV dance all day today, just so I can see JC's video with Basement Jaxx. I know people have strong views on the vid and I can see why, but all I'm watching for is to see his curls bounce when he's demonstrating the girls. He's just...guh then. Normally JC doesn't do it for me. I can tell he's good looking but he doesn't hit me like Chris does, but in that video, and those curls, I could watch them all day. I've the download but seeing them on the tv is so much better. Love his new song too, only him *g*

Last thing. Victor Webster is one of the hottest things ever, I'm just saying ;) Now I go to write more porn and answer comments.

Thanks, hon.

I never like to assume you'll do it.

Do you want to wait until it's done or should I send what I have now?

Send me what you have now... even though it will certainly change as it gets worked on, there's no reason not to start the process now! (well... start the process in 2 hours when I am home from work - some silly boss-people just dumped actual *work* on my desk!)

I'd be happy to beta for you.

That's wonderful! Thank you :)

How would you like to do it, get what I have now ( which is 49 pages in Word ) or wait until the whole thing's done?

Any of those is fine by me.

Really, whatever's good for you. Also, let me know how nitpicky you want me to be on grammar, if at all. Do you still have my email address from the Joey story? It's my LJ username at yahoo [dot] com.

Gah, sorry it took so long to reply.

I'm going to mail you now.

Thanks :)

I'd be happy to be an on-call beta for you. Just keep in mind, I'm an American, so what may seem *wrong* to an American's eyes, may be perfect to a Brit, but I will promise not to say 'colour' should be 'color'! :)

If you ever need me I'm at: jaciesplace@yahoo.com

Thank you!

I never turn down a beta. I tend to work with American betas anyway so I'm used to being told I word things wrong *g*

The way I see it if I'm writing for American people I need to write American, same as I'd expect Harry Potter folk to write Brit.

Do you want the file sent that I've done so far or do you want to wait until I'm done? Which will be around the weekend I think.

Either way works for me. Whatever is easier for you. If you want to send what you have now, I could start on it earlier. If there's any particular aspect you're most concerned with, let me know and I'll try to concentrate on that.

I know a few Brit terms, but what I know I've probably learned either from the Beatles or Monty Python. I'm strangely proud that I know what a gob smack is. LOL

Heh.

I am still totally planning on beta-ing this for you, but if you want to email me what you have as one file, that'd probably be easier than piecemealing it off LJ...

..I'll get to it...... ....sometime in the not-too-distant future. I hopepromise.
