Request: beta

[fleurione.livejournal.com]

Hear ye, hear ye, the call to arms for beta readers from around the camp!

Our humble camper fleurione is in need of a pair of careful eyes to keep her aim true as she throws sharpened sticks at our favourite punching-bag and to ensure she patches him up okay at the end.

Currently required for two sick!Wilson fic (and possibly more!); one posted already and one wip. Candidates would ideally have reasonable medical knowledge or at least strong Google-fu, embrace House/Wilson in all their slashy and non-slashy goodness, be able to pick up Briticisms in American characters' dialogue and be on constant lookout for over-use of commas and semicolons.

Marshmallows toasted on said sharpened sticks will be provided for any late-night campfire sessions to come out of this ;)

[Thankyou!]

hey--I hate the idea of someone going beta-less :(

I'd be happy to help with the ameri-picking and grammar--also the embrace of House/Wilson. My medical knowledge is nothing to write home about, though (hence my avoidance of all complicated diseases in my own fic, lol).

you can pm me on lj if you'd like.

well then, thankyou :D I've got the one in this comm, here (http://community.livejournal.com/sick_wilson/312274.html), it would be great if you could have a read over and do the beta-ing thing on that (comments on improvements, any glaring or not-so-glaring error, problems with characterisation? I don't think there's much medically wrong with the smoke inhalation as I made it minor, so there wasn't any *real* need for medical attention..) If that works well for you, I have a work-in-progress that I would love for someone to read over too, for this comm? I have doubts about it, but can discuss in more detail by email (which is better than PM - see below) if you are happy to.

Thankyou :) :) :)

(also, I had one new 'message' in my inbox which I ignored as I also had 700+ updates, but in clearing out the junk I inadvertently deleted the actual message too... no idea who/what it was, so if that was from you - apologies, it'll need to be done again!)

Sure--school's out and I have a house full of kids today, but I'll take a look at it tonight. I didn't send you an lj message, but you can email me--or send me the other piece via attachment--at ariadnesstring@yahoo.com

cheers!

Hey--I have it beta'd for you--but just realized you didn't leave an email where I can send it! Let me know an address and I'll send it along. Enjoyed the fic a lot, btw--sorry I missed it before--

[fleurione.livejournal.com]

oh, of course - oops. I meant to email you last night but fell asleep super early. My @livejournal.com address will work, and I can reply with the other fic if that's okay?

[ariadnes-string.livejournal.com]

okay--have sent it there--not sure if that address can handle attachments, so let me know if it doesn't come through--
