A few little thingsWell, obviously, I have to write up Christmas. Hell, I even made a new icon to celebrate. But I think we'll get to that in a little while, as it's a gazillion degrees here, and I'm suffocating. So, I thought I'd post a few little bits and pieces that I like.
Sincerely Your's - I've been meaning to write something along these lines for ages. Having been an editor / beta reader for so many fics over the years, after a while one gets really sick of seeing all the same mistakes. Should you be wanting me to read something of yours and help you improve it, at least read this guide before you do send it, cause it'll cut out a fair chunk of the most common mistakes.
While you're at it, you could also examine the advice of the Fic Bitch, who has been an idol of mine for years now. I'm guilty of breaking her rules as much as everyone else, but at least I'm trying to change.
And if after reading those two you still want to send me your fics, go ahead. I promise I won't bite... hard.
What else?
Eh, I'll going to go bum around for a few hours, and then I'll be back to tell you all about the joys of Christmas just past.
