I'd be happy to be your beta, Cajun.

My muse beat me with a leather strap and I updated It's All Coming Back. I don't know if anyone's still reading, but there it is. Enjoy! Or don't...

Also, I'm still looking for a banner... if anyone makes banners... and is interested in making me a banner...

I've updated Before the Beginning. I hope you guys like it. It's called "Parents," but I don't like that title. I don't know why I thought that was important enough to share.

I wrote a new story, a one-parter (probably). It's the 1,654,378,027th rewrite of the Jess/Rory bus scene. I know, I know. It's been done and you're all sick of reading it. Sorry. Anyway, it's in no way Lit, but, you know, Jess is in it. Leaving and Being Left.

I think the buying clothes bit is something that can only be done properly by a really good author, otherwise it simply devolves into a cliche. There had better be an excellent reason for the guy to be buying the clothes, for one thing.

There are many, many things I don't like to see in fic, but most of them are covered in the thread opener--since I helped write the Rules for Bad Fic and all that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Ah, for the days when I was actually involved with P&P...

Anyway, one of the most irritating things to me is simply laziness. Is it really so hard to run a story through spellcheck, or have someone beta it? An occasional mistake is one thing--we're human, after all--but rampant misspellings and atrocious grammar? Grr. Of course, pot and kettle are having a party over here, since I don't actually use a beta, but, um...yeah.

I'll agree about the buying clothes part... A really good writer can pull it off... But mostly I was talking about a first date type situation. A guy buying something special for his girlfriend, not so icky... a guy buying something for a girl to wear on their first date? stalkerville.

And the spelling/grammar thing... Oh dear god yes! Even if you dont have word or a spell check... So many other things do, email, online spell checks, or hey, get a beta!

In anyevent... Looking forward to your UA update [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hey all-

I'm looking for a story that I started reading a while ago... it was a musical type thing. The first chapter was from Beauty and the beast, and I think the second might have been from Grease, but maybe I'm making that up. I posted about this before, but I got only one response, and it wasn't the one I was looking for. If anyone knows about this... cool.

I can't remember if this was the non-answer answer before, but Stars Hollow Beauty and Hartford Beast?

Example: [ url=http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1731820] Before the Beginning [/url]

It'll show up as: Before the Beginning.

Another pretty good way would be to use the "URL" button that's under the posting box.

Was that me, shamelessly promoting my own fic? Why, yes, it was.
