Betas?

So... I have this little Psmith/Mike fic I'd like to post on here but I'm thinking I'd quite like someone to beta it for me cos I don't think I've got the voices quite right. Only thing is, I haven't a clue how this whole beta-ing thingy works so I need someone that won't object to explaining things ve-ry slow-ly for me, preferably in words of one syllable.

Pairing: Psmith/Mike
Rating: Erm... maybe PG-13? Nothing stronger than kising
Word Count: About 2,500 at present

It's all written so don't worry about having to prod me for it. :-)

I am super excited to read Psmith/Mike :O

I would be happy to give it a go! I'd probably be more useful for the grammatical/plot thingummies than the characterisation, though, as I am not as well-versed in all things Psmith as I should be (gasp).

Basically, beta-ing of any sort is much appreciated.

Will it work if I PM you the whole thing?

Having read through all the Pslash I can find in significantly less than a day, I feel it is my solemn duty to increase its number.

PM me with it while you're at it. I love me some Pslash, and characterization is pretty much my thing.

Sure thing - or you can email to lateralfricative [at] gmail [dot] com. :)

Oh wait, I just saw you already sent it. Never mind - this will work!

I was late seeing this, so I guess your beta needs are fulfilled, but if you would like another lookover I might be up to it (read "I desperately want to get my hands on Psmith fic as soon as humanly possible!"). Looking forward to seeing it come out! :)

I agree with your icon. :D

I'm only on "Psmith, Journalist" as of now, so I can't help much with characterization.

HOWEVER.

IF YOU WRITE/POST THIS FIC I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
