Okay, so it's technically the third

Well, whatever. It's 2am. It's still Sunday enough to be called my post for the 2nd, so I refuse to believe I have failed NaBloPoMo already.

So exhausted from work, and just took a bath, and am feeling slightly antisocial (dealing with customers for nine hours will do that), but will reply to threads/pop online soon.

Have to get up early tomorrow and take my car over to the machanic for a new tyre and a wheel alignment. Balls. Hate getting up early. Hate taking my car to the mechanic (oh my poor wallet).

Nearly finished this random St. Ives fic. Is anyone willing to beta? I don't think it really matters if you know the fandom or not, since it's not very plotty, but I'd appreciate someone who at least has a passing knowledge of the Recency era? I mean, language-wise. I haven't even begun to attempt to make my prose period correct, but I'd prefer it if the dialogue wasn't glaringly modern. The setting is 1815, at the end of the Napoleonic war.

Anyone?

Let me just give you a huge hug for even caring about this stuff at 2 in the morning. And for caring at all.

There are all these people out there who insist on writing 19th century fandoms, and every time they write "Are you okay?", I want to repeatedly bang my head against the nearest wall. Gah!

Anyway ... don't let those customers get to you!

I don't think I'd be good at checking the language, but omg I can't wait to read it! I loved that film, and *guh* Miranda in it....
