 Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2005 11:22 pm Post subject: Hug your beta today? Funniest thing you beta ever said |
 |
|
I have been laughing about things one of my beta has said so I had to post this. Maybe I am the only one that has betas that crack me up but here what my two betas who shall remain nameless coughcoughGhettoEllethcoughcoughVivcoughcough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounds self-kinky. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dude, they just *saved* her and hauled her
unconscious carcass all the way back to her home.
I want to pop her upside the head right now.
You'd think a thousand-year-old creature could
be a little more gracious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm-immmortal-and-you're-not angst.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She seems very concerned with people touching her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next time, read the fecker before you send it to me,
I almost got a brain seizure trying to figger it out
before I gave up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Girl, fix yer feckin tenses, are you talking past or
present? Send it back when you’re done so I can
beta this paragraph.
Anyone who knows my two betas should be able to tell which one said which comment!
Is it just me or do all people have betas with skills as comedians???
So for my two betas as well as the other betas who have to put up with writers like me, this bow is for you! 
 SMOOCHES!

Quote from a beta:
"Reading this makes me want to throw things at you, you are much better than this." "Are you schitzophrenic! sometimes this is brilliant and sometimes it is hamster bedding!"
She was right and I later dropped the fic entirely... it was a disjointed monstrosity of a self insertion and repairing it was going to take more effort than I wanted to put into it.

I say funny things to you on a daily basis. Just because they are, gee, I can't believe they let you out of your cage and took the restraints off of you long enough so that you could type that crap, funny, not I'm your beta funny. You sure are picky Spaceums.

Yeah, see if you were my beta, then I wouldn't mind you saying that.
(But yeah, suppose I must admit you have made me laugh. On a few rare occasions...  )

I have two betas. One of them is Panneth and she always has the funniest comments . At then end of my last chapter, I asked her:
Horrible moments?
Her answer:
Aragorn dying. The American spellings.
I still chuckle when I read that ... poor British girl dealing with a non-native who uses American English !
My second beta is hubby. In the Epilogue he changed all references to "merrymaking" with "orgy." Then, when the chapter was posted (and all "orgies" changed back to "merrymaking"), he complained profusely that I had overlooked his suggestions !

'Where the FUCK is your brain?'

Jes has said worse things to me in IMs but I don't keep records of them. But then again she is a little hobnobber so I ignore her!

LMAO Thur, our husbands must be related. Boz changed my fic once when I went to the bathroom. First time lovemaking with my OC and I had the male character thinking to himself that he wanted to keep the situation under control so he didn't ruin her first time (something like that, really sweet) I came back and Boz had changed it to.
So and So thought to himself, I'm gonna tear this bitch up and ruin her for all other men!
Now THAT"s romantic.

Did Boz have anything to do with the rewrite of my Orophin scene or was that all you?? I think I know the answer to that one. POF (pervy Orophin fancier)

Me either. I get all the serious Betas. We can be left out together ... But, then I guess we're not really left out at all, are we?  Or, are we those two girls at High School who don't think they're outsiders because they're together, but really everyone else ignores them? Gee ... guess who I hung out with in High School. Wanna join my Reject Club? I think Ghetto is a lifetime member
