Meanwhile, behind the scenes

[stgulik]

Yay, temporarily caught up on all beta activities! I'm talking rivertempest's yet-to-be-posted Snupin, teddyradiator's Labour of Love, and even the long-running fic I've been editing since May, which posts over on Granger Enchanted.

Speaking of behind-the-scenes work, I've been accepted as a validator at Hawthorn and Vine, in their K thru PT department. This is my first full week on the job, and I think I'm doing an all right job learning what all the buttons do.

Hmmmm... you've finished beta-ing Teddy's story, but she hasn't posted the next chapter yet....

Teddy, you better not be fucking around with that story, girl! Just post it! We NEEEEED it! (And if abject begging doesn't work... my spider army is hungry.... Bwa-ha-ha!)

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

No, no, the story isn't completed; I'm just caught up. It's all about me! :)

[mimimanderly.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's all about YOU, is it? ;) Hmmmm... okay. But remember: my spider army is on standby. And it marches on its... erm... stomach(?)....

In my defense, LJ was throwing a wobbly today and I had to work (boo hiss), but I am posting it mucho pronto). Please stand down the spider army. Dahlra and I can't concentrate when one is in the room and we know it's somewhere we can't see. :)

Yes, it was acting up at my end, too. And my spider army is standing down... for now. They are on shore leave.

{Just had a shudder-worthy vision of a platoon of spiders crawling all over a bar, getting drunk and impregnating the local female spiders, then leaving them to raise the egg sac all on their own}

Congrats, dear! A better person they could never find. ;)

I will possibly be sending you the first chapter of my next fic tonight. Remus has a cameo, if that is any incentive. hehehe

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

So much for being caught up! ;-) Just kidding, my dear. Send Remus on over. Wait - just a cameo? ::barely holds back an epic pout::

[rivertempest.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know... I wanted to make him part of the main pairing, but I'm writing for someone that wanted 'other' people. Ahem. It shouldn't be too long, maybe 3-4 chapters depending on how wordy I get. *shakes head at self* Hope you like Harry/Hermione. :D

But I'm sticking Snape and Lupin in there, cameo-wise. I just can't do a story without them.

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

I'm actually pretty sweet on Harry/Hermione. Always felt they had a lot of potential.

Oh, cool! Hopefully you'll like this take on A Christmas Carol then. ;)

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Don't forget, I'm doing a Christmas Fic that's going to be done soon...

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

Yes, looking forward to that one as well!

That's wonderful. Congratulations to a very talented beta/validator!
