Beta? Also some recs.

Is there anyone who would be willing to beta my [livejournal.com profile] i_revsersebang fic? I hope to be mostly done with it sometime this weekend. I could give you something in return...I don't know what..a ficlet? Something. Point is, I would owe you.

Now that the begging is out of the way, let's talk about the fics. I don't know what is UP with the TSN fandom, but people be cranking out these MASSIVE WIPs. I mean. These things are GLORIOUS. I have never even had a "WIP" tag on my delicious and now it is chockablock with things I check dozens of times every single day.

kiss by the book by anon.
Up to 8 parts and counting.

This fic has it all. It has celebrity guest appearances by everyone lovely who can even tangentially be connected to the cast of TSN. And--far more importantly--it has the world's supply of happiness and warmfuzzies under lock and key at the mo'. "What's the plot, B?" you ask. Legit question. This whole awesome epic of adorbs started with this simple prompt: College, AU fic. Andrew meets dorky Jesse in the library, and is instantly smitten. Jesse is socially awkward and can barely manage talking with persistent Andrew ... so they find another way to communicate? Jesse has to have glasses. SO SIMPLE. And yet this fic is all that is good and true and magical. You have to read it to believe it.

Only 2 parts so far. Not updated all that often. :(

Andrew is Jesse's new bodyguard. WHAT. I LOVE CLICHES. And this one is done so very well. I'm shocked more people aren't making a to-do over this fic, actually. It looks so very promising. And the entire first part is basically about how awkwardly Jesse orders coffee and, yeah, that's wonderful for my soul.

Fortune and men's eyes by anon.
5 parts and counting!

Eduardo is actually the heir to the throne of Brazil. Mark doesn't know because he is just that much of a shut-in. He invades Eduardo's space when he's in desperate need of a laptop and Eduardo's is in the cafe with him--nevermind. I can't put words to this wonderfuliciousness. Can I just say--I saw the prompt and was like, Nah, man. That shit's too Disney. Then I read it anyway because I am post-prelims and have some time to kill....and this thing has eaten my soul. I LOVE it. I love it so much. I love it to a hyperbolic degree.

Unexpected Relations by anon.
6 parts and counting!

So...ummm...I don't usually go in for this sort of thing but see the post-prelims reasoning above and you'll get why I opened this after it popped up in my delicious network a couple of times. The premise is this: Mark and Eduardo's single parents start dating and eventually get married. The boys are lovely in this--they're basically heartbreaking in very different, very subtle ways. It's looking like things might finally be getting better for them, though! Go, boys, go!

ALSOALSO. HAS EVERYONE HEARD JESSE EISENBERG ON WAIT! WAIT! DON'T TELL ME. IF YOU HAVEN'T--GO GET THE PODCAST. HAS MY CAPSLOCK NOT CONVINCED YOU? SHAME ON YOU.

A couple of points that make this an AWESOME INTERVIEW:
♥ He answers the question "what are you wearing?" with "well, I'm at home in boxers now...but I will be something darker [at the Oscars]."
♥ He tells a story about making a facebook page in Peter Segel's name. WHY DID HE DO THAT, THAT LOVEABLE FUZZBUNNY OF ADORBSNESS.

Okay, so I added you way back because I adored your fics while you were in the Inception fandom and it seems that now you're in the TSN fandom and how do I not be creepy about this.

I basically live in the kinkmeme, I update the WIP spreadsheet (this one: http://bit.ly/i4NRkP, anyway, zuck's not here) so I just want to say, EVERYONE ELSE, ALL THE FICS ABOVE ARE A+ READ THEM! (Y)

tl;dr I'm kind of creepy and all the fics are fucking amazing, okay. I think you know already, but FaME just got updated and ugh, <3.

Oh, man, you have no idea how to be properly creepy. You're coming off as lovely and possibly the sweetest person EVER. Also super hard-working! People who do things like make databases of WIPs and moderate kinkmemes are ANGELS. I don't know how you have the stamina.

If you need help upping your creeper levels, my roommate came up with a scale of 1-15 (15=GET OUT OF MY HOUSE OMG HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE???) for my creepiness so she can subtly hint when I've overstepped normal people bounds. What I'm saying is...I know from creepy. :)

i would beta cos i like reading things and talking about them ig

but more importantly your rec list asdskj, i don't keep up with the tsn kmeme and the first link slayed me, and i'm gonna read the rest of them now, vomiting rainbows et cetera

[identity profile] ifeelbetter.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, OK, that first one? I die of rainbow overdose every time there's an update. I often end up clapping at the end of an installment. Like I was in the theater or something. I have given certain installments a standing ovation. I love it so. ♥

fff basically. i had to stop reading to cover my face and laugh into my blankets for recovery.

Alright, so it's been like a month since you volunteered...but are you still willing to beta? Cuz the fic is done--belatedly--and needs some beta-love.

[identity profile] lamboyster.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
sure, sure, i'm up to nothing. you can email me at agzooless@gmail.com; what are you looking for someone to do in beta?

ps i am still all over tsn kmeme, ridiculously, and it is all your fault

[identity profile] ifeelbetter.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Just to make sure--did you get the fic I e-mailed you the other day/night?

[identity profile] lamboyster.livejournal.com 2011-04-16 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
