Can anyone beta my h/c fic for me?

It's MCR plus Brian and Worm, desert island crash fic. At 16k right now, more blood than you can shake a stick at, no main character death.

The deadline is today and I do have an extension. However, that's more an extension of a day or so, not any length of time, so it would have to be a fast beta.

I still have a scene to go but figured I'd throw this out there now and hope someone can help.

ETA: I'm sorted :)

Today your time zone? If it's today closer to my time zone (US central time), if you sent it to me right now I could start this morning and finish at lunch time.

You're a star, but it doesn't need to be that fast. The official deadline is today but I sent a PM and got my time, so have some wiggle room.

You're awesome for offering. Would you rather I do this last scene first or send you the invite now?

You can send it to me now and get the last scene to me later. I have a little time before work, so I can start reading. :)

Anything in particular you want looked out for?

Oh man, you're probably going to regret asking now when I present my list.

Mainly, anything that sounds too British and I have a horrible tendency to have really weak endings on my stories. The one scene I have left is away from the island, so if you think the build up to that is bad let me know. I will work on strengthening if needed.

Other than that. Just if it makes any sense at all. I have no idea right now.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BAD BUILD UP. THE BUILD UP IS VERY GOOD. HOLY CRAP. O_O

I'm serious, the build up is magnificent. The whole thing is incredibly well done. Total nailbiter. Holy crap.

Notice me not bugging you about hurrying up on the ending: that is only because I feel it is in bad taste to bug authors about that sort of thing. Any time you want to get the ending to me would be fine. Especially if it's soon. Because. I might have gotten to the end of what you sent me and went "NOOOOOOOOO where is the rest??? Oh, right, it's in work. I have to wait. NOOOOOOOO!!!" DDDDD:

You don't even know how reassured I am right now. Seriously, I could squish you like crazy.

I'm writing now! The kidlet is fed and up in his bedroom, so I get to finish this baby.

ETA: and it's done. I really hope the end works.

I'm just about done with what you've sent so far - do you want me to wait and send it all back in one go, or do you want this part back now?

Also? OMG FINISH THE DAMN STORY! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!

Could you keep hold of it for now? If you send it now I'll start looking at edits and will never finish the actual writing parts.

People are so awesome to help out.

I'm going to go get a coffee and something to eat, and get the last bit done. You know, actually work on the c side of things *g*

That's something I love about fandom/the amazing flist - someone *always* offers to help. :)

I wish I could do a proper coffee run for you - you know, in person. But I'm going to have to stick with the virtual.

*brings coffee*

And I fully support your C work. Fluffy blankets and snuggles for all!

There is, and I appreciate it so much, especially when it ends up being a lot of work for them.

Virtual coffee goes nicely with the real kind. Thank you!

I think at this stage morphine, antibiotics, drips and sedation is what they need.

From: [identity profile] crowgirl13.livejournal.com
:D *smishes* Of course you do, because you're the best.

You're Welcome. :) I'd offer to sharpen pencils or help in prep in some other fashion, but that's just silly virtually. Coffee is never silly.

So it's more muzzy blankets then, eh? Poor monkeys.

And plz be ignoring that Bloated rotting dead bandmates thing. :O! [I can get behind the 'add more!' backseat betaing through. ;D]

Coffee is awesome, and as usual when I'm writing MCR I've been mainlining the damn stuff.

They'll be okay! Eventually.

[livejournal.com profile] nopseud is queen of add more! Which is what I'm going to do now. [livejournal.com profile] mahoni has reassured me so much.

Do eeeeeet! Or, like, make it a dream that the main character has at the end right before they get rescued. The readers will hate you, and I will love you with the fire of a thousand burning suns. (Okay, I'll do that anyway, but wouldn't it be an AWESOME fake-out?)

But man, I don't know about this one.

Hey, so it looks like you've found quick betas, but just so you know, if you do need, say, two or three days, that's really fine. I've been giving out extensions right and left, and I've started mostly telling people to take the weekend and get it to me by Monday or Tuesday, so, you know, that's there if you need it.

You don't suck in the slightest. The deadline snuck up on me, and let's face it, it's me that should have finished this ages ago.

I totally would've volunteered, but you know my betaing advice somehow always ends up with '...and then make the whole thing about 50% longer and you're golden.' Probably not helpful in this situation :-)

It's probably what the story needs tbh, but I've screwed up badly deadline wise. Don't worry, I had your mental 'add more!' in my head throughout the story.

more blood than you can shake a stick at, no main character death.

Definitely a good way to sum up the story, methinks :-) And go you for having finished it!

At this rate, I think you might get your own fic for, like, Christmas.

Well, I had finished it. Then I needed to clarify a small detail so asked one of my flist friends who's a nurse and she sent me this amazing detailed email back, and now I've sorta added another 1k and have another scene to write /o\

That's okay. Stories just get better the more they mature. I'm sure I've heard that before *nods*

Oh, I love that theory. Also, it'll mean I might add some Christmassy stuff in the story?
