hobgoblinnSo, last night, I ran out of stuff to read, er, procrastinate with. Boy went to bed obscenely early (still not sure what's up with that.) And I got some pieces of two WIPs written.
I think I'm at the point now where I could use a beta or two on these fics. A good portion of the draft is there, but in addition to general reading for mistakes, I could use brainstorming on where these fics should go and someone to point out if I'm painting myself into canon corner. I have some plot decisions that are still up in the air on both, so input might prove invaluable.
Any takers? Comment on this post in the affirmative, and tell me what your experience, strengths are. Also need a contact e-mail. Of course, if I can return the favor, I'd be honored. Comments to this post will be screened.
ETA: I should point out that these are both fairly long fics. Speedy turn-around is not expected or required. Just a willingness to get enmeshed in the process.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sahiya suggested a summary, which is also not a bad idea.
And in a totally random aside, conversation with co-worker this morning:
Hob: "Last night I downloaded..."
CW: "Pr0n?"
Hob: "Er. Well, not visual, but auditory, maybe. Alan Rickman singing? Yeah...." Glazed smile.
CW: Backing away slowly "That was really more information than I needed."
So there you are. "Pretty Women" is auditory pr0n. There you go.
Also downloaded the Sweeney Todd script and saw a lot of the parts Anthony Stewart Head would have sung (Gentleman). Wonder if there will be some of that material on the DVD? I think I read somewhere a lot of the chorus got filmed, except for parts with Depp. Shame it got cut. Also, there was originally more material for the Judge to sing-- would be cool if any of that was filmed before it got cut.
