After reading it on and off for a couple of months, I just finished Devil's Playground. It was actually good, considering what the summary say's.

I had a weak moment yesterday, so now, I'm giving it a try to be a beta on a story for Britinlover on MW... I'm not sure what I got myself into...

I know I said I wouldn't read a WIP, but I started reading The Butterfly Effect by kerri240879. It's really good so far.

The Butterfly Effect,is a really good story, and I just hope she keeps updating likemshe does at the moment..

it is a quite dark story but with so much emotion in it.. I'm looking forward to every weeks chapter

Honestly, I hope I don't mess up things with being a beta.. I do a lot corrections , especially phrases, with only gut feeling, since I'm not an english pro.. so lets see

it is exciting

I'm sure you'll do a great job, Daggi. The first one is really nerve-wrecking though.

I checked her first chapter.. she is a french girl, and made a few corrections in time and with articles .. she now has an other offer from a secretary, who applied like she wants to get a job..

motherlanguage, secretary for so and so many years.. good grammar knowing.. so lets see if I get thje second chapter too to read..

and maybe its just because of her not being perfect in englisch and the phrase sounded strange, but when she read the corrections I made, she answered me, that it is ok what I corrected.. they are all " apropriate" ..

well.. I asked her what I should pay attention for, and she told me tenses and writing and so on.. what was she thinking I'm doing that could be not appropriate?

change her story? I think that is not what a beta is ment to be..

but it was fun to do the first chapter.. it was the first time I worked with google docs.. didn't even know that exists

Perhaps her use of "appropriate" is the same as good?

Google docs is really cool. I remember I got Kathy on the phone and I was asking her questions about her intent, while I was editing and she could see it while I was typing.
