The problem with writing more fics...

[lomonaaeren]

is that then I have more things to edit, and they pile up more quickly than I have time to edit them while I'm also writing. And then the writing produces more fics, and the problem increases.



Currently, I have "Virgin Revelry" (about a third edited- it's 28,000 words, okay? This takes time), Chapter 6 of Sympathy for the Predators, and "Ron Weasley and the Entropy of the Situation" done and ready to go. As soon as I go through them, correct typos and other mistakes, and put in all the little pesky HTML it needs to be posted on LJ. (Rich text breaks my computer).

Also, "The Mark of the Fox" is almost done, and Draco is such a bastard. Definitely the worst Draco I have ever written. I am kind of worried about the reaction to this story, to be honest, although there are sequels to come that will change the balance of power in the situation.

Stupid fics.

if it would make your life easier, and you ever want to, i could make myself available for beta services. and i can put them in html if you have the basic stuff (like what's supposed to be italicized) already done in the word file or rtf or whatever.

i love copy-editing. i have e-publishing experience. i'll also annoy the hell out of you if the characterization falls apart or the plot somehow is contradictory or whatnot.

ETA: i can't believe i sent of an offer of my beta services with TYPOS! i'm really rather better than that. and i won't change your capital letters to lower-case, either.

I really appreciate the offer! I think I will probably send you "The Mark of the Fox" when I have it finished, if you don't mind reading something that's pushing 30,000 words. And any remarks would be welcome.

no problem. songquake at gmail dot com.

also note that it'll generally take 2-3 days for me to turn anything under 15k around, probably more like 4-5 days if it's 30k. i generally beta at a speed comparable to your writing, but i've got a nice little stable of writers at the minute, and it's a first-come, first-served world.

i look forward to working with you!

That's not a problem at all. I tend to post on a rotating schedule anyway, as you've probably noticed, and I have plenty of other stories to work on in the meantime.

The story is finished, so I'll be sending it on to you.

Thanks again for making the offer!
