It must be...BUNNIES

[astri13]

Why are you doing this to me, plot bunnies? Why??? I never did anything to you.

It`s official, I`ve turned into one of those crazy over-achievers that bite off way more than they can chew. I`m now knee-deep in the process of writing my cracky Barbarian & Slave J2 - story, my entry forspn_fairytale, a sequel to Hidden Treasures AND a sequel to my spn_harlequin baby Grapes of Wrath. Oh, and of course each will be NC-17 and porny, meaning my innocence is a thing of the past.
If anyone is interested in beta-ing anything by the way, don`t hesitate to let me know. :) Only one has a deadline so no time issues or anything and you would get to read my shitty first draft. *cough*

Yikes!! No, I never got that e-mail. For the most part, your fic was pretty clean; I just fixed some punctuation, and I changed around a few sentences that I felt didn't work; hmm, I've never "betaed" before, so I just edited the text the way I did when I worked at a newspaper. Hmmm, I still have your original text saved to my hard drive, I can always go thru it again and explicitly mark where I made changes and send it back to you. Just let me know what you would like me to do; I'll make sure to mark any changes I may make to Seven Year (B)itch explicitly. It was a joy to read The Bronze Age and I would love to look over the rest of it whenever you finish and I'll make sure to beta it the way you prefer.

If it isn`t too much work, I`d be totally grateful for that because I try to see where I went wrong and not make the same mistakes again. Rather I make new ones. :)
And punctuation, especially commas are still my enemy. I used to put in too little, now I fear it`s too many. So I`m trying to memorize the rules right now.

And I still haven`t figured out when to use simple past tense and when to switch into "had done..." territory. Especially when a character reflects on past events in the middle of a "normal" ongoing scene. It`s so frustrating when I`m in the writing flow and have to stop because I suddenly think about grammar. :/
