Post by Amarië Fri Dec 27, 2013 11:56 am

I'm trying to finish a little story for a secret santa event on livejournal, and I need to be done on the 30th. We were given a promt, the likes/dislikes and favorite pairing of the secret person, and we won't know who we are writing for until we have delivered our story.

But I need someone to read through it and help me with spelling, language and overall consistency. And if you have an idea or two for improvement, that would be nice too. (I seem to be a bit stuck, or maybe a bit paralyzed in fear of disappointing the receiver. I am SO looking forward to read the story I'll get, and feel mine is too short and rushed and meh...)

It's Merlin fandom and slash fic (cuddling cute stuff, nothing graphic) but it's modern AU so you don't really have to know the characters at all. About 1000 words.

Would you help me be a good santa?

Again?  Laughing 

You seem to have more that enough expertise at hand already Amarië, so you probably don't need my help. But you shall of course have it if you need it.

From what I've read of your writing it'll probably turn out great. Nod

Oh you are too charming.

I think I have the help I need now. I knew I could rely on the Shire.  I love you

If you needed a bit of sauce, I think I might know someone who could help...  Very Happy I also know someone who has a very extensive provacative vegetables and fruit collection...  Laughing

What? Me?  Shocked 

Well, maybe a little bit.  Very Happy 

Still I did just use your joke at Petty over in the Freedom thread just like my character used it at Pettys character in your Bandersnatch story.  Laughing 

Will there be any more Bandersnatch writing by the way? I was quite enjoying that one.

I had to do this secret santa thing and another other story first, but there will be more of Bandersnatchers and Work-a-hobbit soon now, I hope. Smile

I'm glad someone else said that, as I might have come across as oh so girly.  Laughing 

But, yeah ... what Norc said. Nod

It's that time of the year again and I should have had my story finished, beta read and sent yesterday.  :facepalm:
Can anyone offer an emergency read through of the mess I've made?

It's Merlin fandom, canon age, AU, pairing is Gwaine/Merlin (nothing explicit) and sort of Merlin/Morgana but not really. Plot may remind you of the episode "servant of two masters". And it kept growing, so it's approx. 4k words.

Bung it a pm and send it to me Amarie- or email me it- whichever.
I am about to go out for lunch but I will be able to take a look over it once I get home later this afternoon.
