A request...

Feb 20 2007 10:04 pm   #1Caro Mio

Since I'm not sure who's still doing it or not:

I'm thinking of getting a beta for the new story I'm working on, since it's different than what I've done before. I don't need spelling and grammar help, only have an occasional typo. Really, just need someone to prod me about consistently adding details....and later, to say if it's dark enough.

Premise: Vampire Spike/ Human Buffy. Not canon based at all. More details only to the genuinely interested, since I don't want to spoil the fic for everybody before it even post, 'kay? :)

Thanks,

Caro Mio

Cool, thanks. I only have 3 chapters done so far, so not much to catch up on. :)

Just send me your email address so I can send the file.

Hey, anybody from Boston? I'm looking for the name of an upscale part of town - rich apartments or houses.

Thanks!

Thanks very much!

I should have remembered those names, from when I was there, but I couldn't come up with anything...really helps a lot, and you even included a link!

Awesome.

Well, if you want to take a look, I can point you to my LJ, where I just posted the first chapter. I'm not putting it elsewhere until I have more written, as I don't want to leave *more* WIPs than I already have. :)

If you still like it, then I'll tell you more of my ideas. With 3.5 chapters down, I started jotting down who's on what side a couple days ago. :)  Lots of familiar names from both shows.
