OD of fandom talk

[starsthatshine]

What to write? I have a new look on my journal and I'm sure I'll OD my userpics place soon with killprettyx's gorgeous icons. I'm looking for more Gilmore Girls icons to use. Know any?

Anyway. I'm currently taking a break off from every fandom I've ever written [besides Harry Potter who desperately awaits to see how much I've screwed him up] to write something little bit more fun. So I'm leaving the floor to Veronica Mars - the only fandom I havent written so far - and I'm gonna make it for Pernilla and the pairing is ... [hold your breaths] Lamb/Veronica. Who is Lamb you ask? [I asked that too] It's the sheriff of Veronica Mars land aka. Neptune. Surprised there isn't more to this pairing than she says it is.

Have I told you how much I hate swallowing my pride to phone someone and when I call there's absolutely no answer? Well, I'm telling you now.

I just got back one of the betaings on my Harry/Draco fic and it made my spirits fly. The comments were witty, make me smile, think and hear how good it was. *happy* I might after all actually make this fic through. After all, I have two years on me. That timeline I must keep!

*goes back to write Perfect Symbiosis*

Edit: The Veronica/Don Lamb fic is here

Yes, betas are my life saviours. They can see errors, possible character flaws and stuff that I dont [since i become easily blind and need a second POV]. And if there arent any such errors they give you free feedback ;)

Well, I'm a bit of a grammarwhore, so I'm usually not worried about blatant errors, and what I write is what I consider canon, but when you post your fic on fanfiction.net or something, isn't that also where you get feedback? :3 I've never actually understood the point of a beta unless the beta is just there to grammar-check... ^^;

lol. sure you get feedback on sites like fanfiction.net but the difference is that with beta-feedback you have a chance to edit something that the beta didn't like. lol

Hrm... I guess I see what you mean. ^^;; Though I probably won't be getting a beta any time soon. x_x
