porn. feels! beta?

[hoosierbitch]

Hey, so, remember that time, when you were watching a bunch of porn, and then you fell asleep right afterwards, and then the next morning you went to Panera, and opened your laptop, and it was on a full-screen shot of Johnny Rapid's ass getting penetrated with a nightstick?

*headtable*

Also, I am going on a woman-up-and-reply-to-comments spree, so, for those of you who reply on a lot of my fics: first of all--THANK YOU! Secondly--I apologize in advance for the slew of comments you're about to receive. I have, like, weird mental problems about feedback, which is why it takes me so long to reply. It's not because I don't appreciate comments (I LOVE THEM, I've been smiling like a crazy person while replying to them), it's just that I...get overwhelmed by them, or something. And I'm always afraid that my replies will seem disingenuous, or be inadequate to express how happy and grateful I am for the feedback. Okay? Okay.

/feels

In other news: I forgot to celebrate this when I came up, but it's my new favorite fandom milestone: when I first made my mistress (master) list of fics, I dated it out of order, setting it way in the future so that it'd stay at the top of my journal. 'Way in the future'--aka, March 4th, 2012--has come and gone. :-)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand finally:

I need a beta, y'all. I've got 5k of new kid!Neal, about 4k in Marvel fic (CLINT IS DYSLEXIC AND NEEDS NATASHA's PLATONIC LOVE), a giant Grimm WIP, and...IDK, other stuff too. I tend to write fics for challenges and things and then not collect them (again, because of my WHAT IF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THEM/ME issues). I'd prefer if my close friends--people with whom I've met in person seems like a good barometer of that--didn't volunteer. (I love you guys! I just want to keep my neurosis separate from my relaxing-time.)

...any volunteers for betaing duty (even if just for one fic, one fandom, specific ratings, whatever), suggestions of places/posts to find a beta, or recommendations for people I can ask? Thank you in advance. :-)

[Fun fact: did you guys know that guesstimate is a real word?]

Yah for the nightstick porn...because that's like a serious kink of mine.

Understand the reply issues - I have the same feelings and sometimes I feel like ... well, you know.

I will beta Kid Neal with honor, if you would like.

And you are AWESOME.

[hoosierbitch]

Hey, btw, I found an icon for you. :-)

You would love this nightstick porno, yo--look up the prison shower shoot on men.com.

I think I want to try a beta who I don't know as well as I know y'all, because that way I'll feel less sensitive about it. But thank you so much for the offer, it means a lot! ♥

YOU'RE awesome! :D

[elrhiarhodan]

Hmmmm ... ponders the boot kink icon.

Mind goes *THERE*

There is a White Collar beta community, called, oddly enough wc_betas. You won't have any lack of volunteers, I am certain.

And my offer is always open.

[hoosierbitch]

Yeah, okay, I ran out of comment steam in June 2011. Because apparently, I never replied to all the comments on 'one thousand cranes' or even started on the comments for 'my lips have the sin,' and it's harder for me to reply to comments on my...er, the 'meaningful' fics, for lack of a better term.

*sigh*

Thanks for the link to the beta comm! :D

[miriad]

I'm down to beta for kid!Neal or the Marvel fic. I'm not big enough into Grimm to of much use outside the technical stuff. If you are still looking, hit me up at miriad79 at gmail dot com. ;)

[miriad]

I cannot believe that I responded to a call for betas with a typo. *facepalm* I'm not big enough into Grimm to be of much use outside of the technical side of writing, is what I was trying to say. Sheesh.

[hoosierbitch]

Thank you so much the offer! I'd love to have you beta some fics for me. :-)

(Also: I didn't even notice the error in your comment, which is probably why I need a beta so badly...)

I'm sending you two Marvel fics--either/both of them would be fantastic, if they seem like your kind of story and you have the time.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!

♥

[photoash.livejournal.com]

glad to hear you're writing :) it's easy to fall out of it but also easy to come back <3 (er well I'm still waiting on the come back part myself XD)

Are you in AZ yet?

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

It feels so good to come back to it. It's my favorite part of school breaks. If you want any cheerleading on your come-back, let me know! :D

I'm leaving for AZ on Tuesday. *is excited/nervous*

[photoash.livejournal.com]

Happy travels and I hope it's wonderful <3

[neontiger55.livejournal.com]

I would totally be up for betaing something, if you'd like? White Collar is my fandom, but I watch Grimm too. Anyhoo, offer is there :)

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I've got one WC fic ready to go right now (the next part of my kidfic 'verse), and I'll have a lot of WC in the next month. I'd love to send you the kidfic, if you'd be up for that! My email's whoisyourb@gmail.com.

THANK YOU!

[neontiger55.livejournal.com]

Cool, have just sent you an email ;)

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Story sent! Thank you so much. :-)

[csi-vixen.livejournal.com]

I can do Marvel and White Collar if you like :)

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D Can I send you a Bruce/Clint Marvel fic? You can shoot me a reply at whoisyourb@gmail.com

♥

[embroiderama]

I'd be happy to beta WC any time if you wanted. :)

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I've got one WC fic right now (the next part of kidfic), and I'm signed up for three WC fests that are coming up this summer. Could I send you the kidfic?

My email's whoisyourb@gmail.com

Thanks again!!! :D

[embroiderama]

Sure! embroiderama at gmail

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Sent! Thank you. :-)

[surreal-44.livejournal.com]

I'm a terrible beta, but I'm an excellent cheerleader, and babbler-at-you-until-it-works kind of person. Let me know if you need a boost, or if you need help plotting. :-)

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

LOL

I bill myself the same way! Everyone will be happier if I break out the pompoms instead of a red pen. :-)

I will absolutely keep you in mind if I get in need of a cheerleader! :D

[rabidchild.livejournal.com]

OK, so, um, that porn to which you refer? Was it the one in the shower? I may have watched that last week...

SO! Happy you are writing. You know I'll beta anything, but I understand your restrictions, I do. I am in Panera writing right now! Yippee!

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yes. Yes, that is exactly what I was referring to.

PANERA PALS!

(...although I actually just switched locations--I figured, uh, seven hours in one cafe was maybe pushing the limit. So now I am at NEW cafe! \o/)

[coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com]

I read that "punishing the limit". Of course.

\o/

[devilishdestiny.livejournal.com]

haha, awesome.

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

:D

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

I am always happy to beta. I prefer fandoms I know (White Collar) to ones I don't (though I have certainly betaed in fandoms I don't know).

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the offer! I'm going to have a lot of WC fic for fests this summer, so I will definitely take you up on that offer. :-)

Have you seen/are you familiar with The Avengers at all?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Saw, yes! Adored! And I always have the resident comic expert to ask if I miss something.

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'd love to take you up on your offer! Shoot me an email at whoisyourb@gmail.com?

I've got a Bruce/Clint, which is mostly about peanut butter sandwiches and feelings, and a pretty-platonic Clint-centric fic about dyslexia. BECAUSE OF REASONS. Either of those sound up your alley...?

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Yes! Either or both. I read mostly slash but do read gen and het as well.

And you can send it to gnomi [at] asknomi [dot] com.

[jan-rea.livejournal.com]

*giggles* The watching porn thing was so funny~ :D

Also, you're writing fics! And you're writing Avengers fic! *flails* Can't wait to read them~ <3

*glomps you*

P.S: I totally went and google nightstick + that porn you were talking about. :P

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

LOL Thanks! The vid's from men.com, btw, if you haven't found it yet. ;-)

I am having waaaaaaaaaay too much fun with Avengers fics. I should have two to be posted soon-ish, I hope you like them! *bounces all over everyone*

*glomps you back*

[ivorysilk]

*waves at you*

*guards the precious*

:-)

here are two completely random things!

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

I just had the best yawn ever.

Earlier today, I forgot how to use the shift keys. My fingers just went buzwhaaaa?

Thus ends storytime for today.

Re: here are two completely random things!

[ivorysilk]

Whatever you've been imbibing is better than what I've been having ...

*g*

Re: here are two completely random things!

[ivorysilk]

Also, good luck with the trip tomorrow!!

[coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com]

I wish I could beta for you -- you know I love to get at your stories first! -- but I'm behind in my work and haven't written for two days myself. Plus, I don't know -- I might fall into that category of Those Who Should Not Beta for B. I just didn't want you to think I had no interest.

It's good to see you back. :-)

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's so nice of you! You are an excellent beta.

I hope you get caught up on work, and get back to writing soon! :-)

[coffeethyme4me.livejournal.com]

Sort of a third world problem to have not written for two whole days. ;-) I've been writing a lot lately, and for that I'm very grateful.

By the way, we had moved to a place with a floor that ruined four pairs of my socks in about two weeks by putting holes in them. It had been a long time since I'd checked on your journal, but one day I did, and I saw that you'd changed your headline. I've been blaming you ever since. ;-)

[lauracollared.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to read more kid!Neal fic. Someday, I'm happy to beta for ya, btw. :)

Your porn story made me lol.
