I seem to be constantly "asfskjfjk" these days. XD Eep, I dare say. But seriously, I sometimes have moments of wanting to print out something like this so I can hug it like a kid with a stuffed animal. I know, I'm a weirdo. Still. ^__^ ♥♥♥
Anyway, you make me *sparkle* that you offered. I must admit, I'll probably have to take you up on it. :/ I have a fairly silent friends list when it comes to beta-requests, doesn't help only maybe two others are into KH. Other times I shrug when no one's willing, self-edit, and post anyway. But man, just once I want at least someone else to check it over. For some reason it's feeling oddly important to me that I go to extra effort--maybe since the mod was so gracious to let me have the prompt.
I won't lie, though. I'm massively intimidated. ^^; But I also don't wanna chicken out. I just know that between Anj here and you, it's so gonna get shredded XD; It's so run-on, and so full of passive voice (that I don't mind but Anj detests) and word repetitions, and I fear is boring as hell and requiring cuts that'd make me whimper. And I fear characters that aren't right, dialogue that's awkward, and, and I'm so doomed ahahaha XD;;
Heh, sorry. King and queen of insecurities and lack of confidence here. 8D Which isn't asking for pulled punches but does explain why after I send for betaing, I'll be hiding under my desk. ^^
But!! I also do know that these sort of things do take a really long time, and I know you're happiest doing your own writing (and life's been keeping you from that a lot of late :/ ) So I totally leave you the out that if it's too much or unsalvageable, you can totally change your mind about doing it. I know how it is to offer to beta something and then regret you did. ^^; Would never want to put you in that situation.
Right, time for me to quit making big deals out of things, heh. Just huge thanks and you made me sparkle, and I so wish I could give you hugs for real, at least 'til you started to twitch. XD
Oh, right. Just kind of the timing of it all--I'm *hoping* to finish Saturday, so I can edit Sunday, if all works out maybe present for beta Monday? Then the prompt day's July 9, if I'm recalling correctly. So about a week for the beta and then what I'd have to do to rework it. :x If that's not going to be good for your schedule, again no worries if you wanna change your mind. I let it go a bit closer to the submit date than I should've. ^^;
