turpsI finished the first chunk of Bob in Spaaaace! It ended just over 5,000 words and I have another 6 chunks to go. Sigh.
I work much better when I can feed words at people and get reactions, so any volunteers? I have an awesome set of beta readers but I'm always aware that most of them aren't into bandom at all. What I really should do is just set up a bandom beta filter already. But yeah, if you want to read I'll either add you to the filter or share in google docs. Which I have to say, is awesome in the extreme. I don't know why I haven't been using it all the time.
I didn't get to sleep until 4am last night, then was awake 4 hours later. Which means I'm dragging today. Still, I've just had a nap so at least I'm perking up a little now. I just wish it would rain or thunder or do anything to get rid of this close heat.
You know what's frustrating? When you're seen as a human connection to Google. So many times a week I'll get a call from mam, she'll be at the pub and want to know answers to various things they're arguing about. The last three being types of camels, limpets and today an obscure singer who sang someone's favourite song. Just he didn't know what that song was called. Then when I actually found it she asked me to sing it, which really, no.
ETA: I'm good for volunteers :)

Date: 2008-07-30 05:49 pm (UTC)I just worry that I'm shoving stuff at you guys that you don't want to see. Anyway, I just added it to my beta filter so you'll be able to see. Tell me if I'm being melodramatic *g*
I forgot to say. Wasn't it just? The sheer awesomeness of fic yesterday was amazing.

Date: 2008-07-30 05:47 pm (UTC)Right now it's a catch all for anything I'm working on, so just ignore anything that doesn't interest you. But I've just uploaded what I have here (http://turps33.livejournal.com/827955.html)
I trust totally everyone on there, so feel free to say what you think.

Date: 2008-07-30 05:55 pm (UTC)I'm happy to be on the Bandom, Bob in SPAAACE filter, of course. I'm guessing you assumed my participation, though. *g*
Since it is going to be longer, GoogleDocs is probably better from my point of view.
no subject
Date: 2008-07-30 05:59 pm (UTC)I totally assumed your participation and will go and wrangle google docs to see how you actually share.
As you probably know, I have a lot on writing wise right now, but at least this way you can look in every now and then. Because Pete!

Date: 2008-07-30 06:30 pm (UTC)Only 4 hours sleep, that really sucks!! I hope you'll get more sleep tonight.
It's been very hot and humid here too today, so icky!

Date: 2008-07-30 06:44 pm (UTC)Feel free to read and add any comments. This is a story I want to be as good as I can get it.
I really hope I get more sleep too. A nap was all well and good but it's thrown my day out of whack.

Date: 2008-07-30 07:30 pm (UTC)It has to be handy to have someone to look stuff up, but man, the pressure. It's like, I'm looking as fast as I can!
