What ho, what ho, what ho!

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

I have been lurking at this community for  a very long time and was inspired to make a lj account for this fandom. Allow me to introduce myself: I am a 23 year old grad student and long-time reader Wodehouse who has been spending her evenings when not immersed in studies roaming the internet in search of Jooster fanfiction. I am utterly floored by the quality of the writers who post on indeedsir. Thank you for the hours of reading and relaxation!

I decided to come out of hiding for two reasons: 1., to express how impressed I am with the sophistication and dedication in this fandom, and 2., to request a beta reader for a fiction I hope to have at least well underway in time for Halloween.  I had intended to write my first piece as a more-or-less conventional bit of lighthearted Jooster fare, but I was oddly inspired and have begun planning something a bit... dark. For those of you who don't mind AU, tragedy and ghost stories and are willing to provided editorial and moral support for this impending monstrosity of a fic, please send me a message and I'll tell you more. If you don't want to work on it once I've given you the general outline, feel free to tell me to go boil my head. :-) Toodle-pip.

Welcome, old thing! I hope someone steps up to do some beta work for you. I'd do it, but I'm tied up at the mo.'

We very much like ghost stories round here, so your fic will fit right in.

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the welcome! And allow me to add that you are one of my favorite authors in this fandom; I have read almost everything you've written.

[storyfan.livejournal.com]

My blushes. That's very kind of you to say so, and I'm glad you enjoyed them. You really need to steal my icon, however. Just credit thirstyrobot for it.

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! I certainly shall do both.

Greetings and salutations, fellow new-person! And fellow grad-person! If it's not too bold to ask, what are you studying?

I'm already beta-ing for another chappess and working on my own thingummy, or I'd offer to help out. Hope your beta-hunt goes well.

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the welcome, old top! And no, it is not too bold to ask provided you return the favor and tell me what it is you do. I study philosophy, for my sins. (I have been flirting dangerously with an analysis of Jeeves read through Spinoza, but that is a project for another month.)

I've been enjoying Jeeves & the Missing Manuscript, incidentally, but I must confess that upon hearing you're in graduate school I am anxious that you might not find time to finish it! How on earth do you manage?

I'd love to see a post on Jeeves as seen through a Spinozan lens. That would rock the house.

If I were a fan of tragedies, I would offer to beta, but I tend to like my endings happy ones. (And also, I'm in the midst of a paying writing project, so I need to focus upon that.)

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the strangest thing about this hideous mutation of a plotbunny is that I myself prefer happy endings. I suppose this is what comes of spending hours looking at pictures of abandoned buildings and decorating for Halloween. While I would have been honored to have you as a beta I completely understand. I myself wouldn't want to beta for a sad story. Best of luck with the project.

[erynn999.livejournal.com]

I understand -- sometimes these plotbunnies, they just happen. Every so often something just desperately wants you to write it. Go with it if it's one of those.

I'm studying environmental management with a focus on fresh water resources. So, water quality problems and scarcity, and how to deal with those are my specialty. As for how I'm finding time for my own story... We make time for those things that we enjoy, eh? I'm quite keen on the thing as it's a major source of stress-release for me. Even with the dozen or so things going on, I find myself relaxing when I type out the latest chapter.

And Jeeves through Spinoza's lens sounds quite interesting! I flirted with the philosophy route myself in my younger days after taking a debate class where we read the writings of various philosophers and... well, debated the ideas behind them. As I recall, I did a paper on Nietzsche.

Can't offer any betaing, sorry, but I just HAD to comment on your username:
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I love it! *why didn't I think of that???* :)

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you. It was third or fourth down the list, but the others had been taken. So glad you like it.

[ataratah.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to look over your story. I may have some timing conflicts (another epic fic I'm betaing mid-November), but if you're still in the writing stage, that should be fine - basically, I'm game if you are! You can email me at atar (dot) atah (at) gmail (dot) com.

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

This may be optimism verging on delusion, but I hope to at least have half of it written by Saturday. Thanks for offering, and I'll send you the plot summary (some bits of which need a bit of tweaking before I begin in earnest) later this evening.

[ataratah.livejournal.com]

Cool, I'll look over the summary whenever it's ready then! :)

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Done and done. The summary was, well, summarily written and late at night so forgive the more egregious mistakes. Thanks again!

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Okay. So I will be sending you the first (very short) bit some time tonight for your perusal.

HULLO HULLO

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Hullo! I realize in this fandom it is almost redundant to tell you how much I love your work, but I'll say it anyway: your fictions are absolutely wonderful. Never stop writing Jooster.

Also, I your icon is fabulous. There is nothing that can make one feel more welcome than being greeted by Fry with an ear-splitting grin giving a thumbs-up.

[toodlepipsigner.livejournal.com]

My greeting is belated but I had to throw out there that "Sex in Spats" is one of the most excellent online usernames I've ever heard. For what it's worth.

[sex-in-spats.livejournal.com]

Why thank you!
