I'm so sleepy and sick today. Swim in an hour and I don't want to move. I can't breathe through my nose and the aspirin, which I took an hour ago, hasn't kicked in yet.

Anyway, my lovely, darling friendses!

My Baby, also known as TSPB, also known as "That Story With No Title Which Won't Let Me Be," also known as "If They Weren't Straight They'd be So Doing It," also known as, "Sob, Wail, WHY IS THIS SO HARD?" also...what am I talking about? I dunno.

Anyway, that one. You know.

I started That One a year ago. The first draft was finished last January or thereabouts; half of the second draft is written and the first three chapters are edited. (Because I'm weird, that's why.) So, my dear friends, what does this mean for you guys?

Well, for one thing, I shall probably be talking about it quite a lot.

For another, I need beta-readers.

Well, I don't need them as such, I have over a dozen people waiting for That One, but I'd like some more. Namely all of you. Because I loves you, that's why. (And because none of the others have given me title suggestions, which makes me sad.)

So, if anyone's interested in seeing That One, um, tell me. And then I can email it to you. Or something. I don't want to post it on the Internet, because I think beta'ing works better one-on-one rather than in a public forum.

If this post didn't make sense, it's because I have a headache.

Yo. Still here if you want me. You've never asked for title ideas.

[naodrith.livejournal.com]

You've never offered.

That's unfair. Do you have any for me, darling?

(And your comments on the draft were singularly unhelpful. Incredibly entertaining and flattering, but unhelpful.)

I can't even remember what I wrote. When I was reading, I didn't have a pen on hand, which was incredibly frustrating because there should have been one on hand and I'd counted on it. Guess I'm used to online copies. Could you email it?

And no, I don't, because the story's not finished and it could still change tracks completely. Working titles are all you need for the moment, dear.

Awww, but I loves me some highly-monitored, ultra-tight-security public forum beta reading ;) Speaking of which, I'm almost well enough to write again, and I've been doing a lot of editing on Underworld University while laying in bed, which means about six more parts are ready to go up in rapid fire fashion now.

But if I have time, and I'll know for certain one way or another in a few days, I'd be willing to beta, if you like. *shrug*

uh hullooooo. I'm right here. We're in Soc together. Really. You need someone who can express emotion like I do. You remember the Lasa-Diamon thing.....I mean really.

Thanks, darling! I'm glad you're feeling better.
