So I finished this manuscript, right? Well, it still needs some tinkering, and I've done one big bad edit (VERY big bad edit, like I rewrote a good third of it, at LEAST) and I asked a few people to go over it for me. Cause like, I'm at that blind spot with it, I don't know where it needs my attention anymore.

Right, so the most fabulous mistful did a stellar beta job on it. She sent me back a file that's ONE MEG. I'm so so so grateful for all her work, so incredibly grateful.

I'm terrified to open the file.

*fidgets*

*weeps*

I want someone to hold my hand while I do this and tell my how fantastic I am. Tell how stellar and brilliant and mind-bogglingly gorgeous I am. ("And here I am just in my pajamas, why thank you, darling.")

As a complete aside, I have raspberry-scented deodorant. Just a little bit of trivia to keep me from witnessing the joy of the beta commentary.

And you thought I didn't have a beta for fanfic because I'm cocky. Well, now you know the horrible truth.

*pouts*

Edited to say: Okay, I went through the entire beta, mistful is a GODDESS. It's a great beta and didn't even hurt that much. My love for her is great and t00by.

*dedicates reams of fic to mistful*

Heh. I'm about halfway through my beta. Eee. I probably won't be as good, but I'm trying my best.

Oh I'm very much looking forward to it, in the scared way that I look forward to beta comments. :) I'm sure it will be fabulous, everyone sees different things, after all.

*hugs*

Thanks so much.

You are the shiniest of the highly shiny. Buffed to a high degree of shininess, that's the Ivy. *hands you cookies, because everything is better with sugar*

>_> I feel incredibly guilty for not doing a real beta on it. I am much too positive to do that, and I feared I'd send something stupid to you that said *thumbs up* at the end. But I really did like it!

I will just stroke your ego instead.

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

I'm all for that. :)

Eeeeee. *claps her hands* I'm so pleased it was okay.
And did I mention, how stellar and brilliant and mind-bogglingly gorgeous you are?

*is jealous*

OK, not really, LOL.

But I will poke you to let me see revisions after you go through the beta comments :) Because I need for my J/M slash fanfiction to be accurate.

You are a raspberry-scented goddess of poetry and prose, Ivy. The candle, and not just the mirror that reflects it. And you do some rawking animations, too.
