Sorry guys - school pickup sprung up on me then took forever because the kids were coming back from Band Camp. If I never have to carry a bass drum down the hill ever again I will be a happy parent. My girls play clarinet for a reason
I haven't posted about the stories and it's probably my turn too but I might cry off. I do have some thoughts about Love's stories; I wonder if we can somehow form a beta club to help her sharpen up her use of idioms and the like. A lot of the little things that make her stuff slightly harder to read sometimes is just basic syntax and word usage and I better even a few stories working with a beta would make a big difference for her.
The problem is that she's so incredibly prolific it might take a few of us to cover without working anyone's fingers to the bone?

Hope your kiddos had fun at camp!! I remember those days. Sigh. Good times, good times. Haha.
I would be down for this beta club for Love, if she's interested. I'll be honest, I have a very difficult time with her stuff for that reason. I adore her motivation and determination and overall love for Charloe/writing, but I definitely struggle with her fics b/c of her writing style. And in her case, I know she's really trying. But as a reader, it's just difficult to work through a story when I'm distracted by the grammar/syntax/style issues.
I've thought about offering her that kind of support before but didn't know how to approach the subject since people can be really touchy about their writing, and I don't really know her that well. And also because, like you said, it'd be a bit much for just one person to handle...
