To anyone willing to beta some stuff for grammar/typos even if they're not familiar with the source material.  

On a more serious note, I'm in Virginia right now visiting a sick aunt. She has cancer and just finished up her chemo/radiation. They're trying to find a nursing home with the facilities she needs. She's scared she's not going to make it home again, and I can understand her fear. She's in her 80s, and not doing so well. Her husband died not that long ago, and it was the same situation. He needed to go to a nursing home after surgery to recover, and with all the complications, he never made it home. They never had any kids and she's the youngest in her family; her sister stayed with her since February, but she had to go home to get her own medical issues dealt with.

I just wish I knew what to say to her.

I'm good with checking for spelling/grammar mistakes...it's extra input I suck at. But if you just need an extra pair of eyes to check it over, I can do that.

Expect a few chapters in the next couple of days. I'm back home now and will try to get this stuff wrapped up.

What would you like as your bribe?

Oh, geez...I don't even know what to ask for.

A story perhaps? Hmmm, how about a personal challenge fic? Pick the opening and closing lines, and I'll write a story based on that, say under 2,500 words. My mind usually defaults to comedy for those, but feel free to add any requests - angst, return of Rochelle, a fear of dust bunnies - and I'll see what I can do.

Nope. rmandgefanATyahooDOTcom is the best way to send me anything.

Ah, I had sent you a PM asking for an address to send a couple of chapters. I guess I have it now! I'll be sending something to you shortly to read at your leisure. :D
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
Hmm. Odd. Sorry I didn't give it to you before, I was actually wondering if you'd decided to have someone else go over it. :)
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
Nope! I'm going over it now for a final read-through before sending it. It's too long for a single chapter - I marked a couple of places in it for potential chapter breaks, but feel free to offer suggestions. :-)

I read the GSR one. Adorable.

I'm on p.11 of the GI Joe one. Right at your possible break. If I don't get distracted, I should be able to finish that one tomorrow after work and get it back to you. :)

Oh, I'm glad you liked it! Send me any corrections you found when you send the other back. I'll be posting them at the same time anyway.

Thanks!

Hey,

If you'll send me the corrections to the CSI fic, I'll go ahead and get it posted without waiting on the other one.
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
No corrections on the CSI one. Sorry, thinks went kablooey this week.
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
Oh, I've had too many weeks like that. Hope it levels out for you. I'll get this posted later tonight. Thanks!
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
I was going to take ask you the other day if you still needed a beta... I'm good with spelling, grammar is a bit more iffy... I'm comfortable with both Picard/Crusher and Adam/Teela.

I hope everything turns out ok for your aunt. I can most definitely understand her fear.
(Reply) (Thread)
Well, she's always depended on her husband to do everything for her, so she wasn't in the best position to be on her own before this. She was much better this morning before we left for home.

Your choice of bribe would be?
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
Uhhhhh... Hmmm. I can't think of anything, I know you have some CSI stuff in the works and I'll admit to being in total withdrawals with the total absence of good,new GSR fic that isn't torturous to read.

So I guess I will take the satisfaction of helping put it out to be read? *grin* Yeah, I know. I'm total and complete dork.

Good timing - I just got done making this offer above:

A story perhaps? Hmmm, how about a personal challenge fic? Pick the opening and closing lines, and I'll write a story based on that, say under 2,500 words. My mind usually defaults to comedy for those, but feel free to add any requests - angst, return of Rochelle, a fear of dust bunnies - and I'll see what I can do.

Sound good? :D
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
I'll have to think on that. You do realize that means I have to engage my imagination? Haha! This could be interesting.
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
K... Here's goes. Comedy is fine, maybe throw a touch of angst in there? *evil grin*

Sara pinched, hard.

You might want to reconsider.

Can I use that last line as dialog? I already have an idea for the start, but I haven't worked out how to get to the end ... yet. :D
(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)
Sorry, I meant to put the last in quotation marks so you knew it was dialog. Me sorry!
