Anyone Up to Beta?

So, I'm struggling to finish my U.N.C.L.E. Christmas story and just realized that I haven't lined up a beta.

Anyone on the flist want to take a run at it when it's done? I should be done either tomorrow or Sunday and I'm estimating it's going to be about 5,000 words or so.

Thank you kindly.

I'll do you if you'll do me. I won't be finished until next week. :)

Absolutely! I wasn't going to ask you since I know you're swamped.

I'll send you mine when it's done. (Two scenes to go.) And feel free to send yours whenever you're finished.

Hon, I told you I'd be happy to do it. I don't really know fanon for UNCLE, but I watched the show as a kid and am familiar with the characters. I'll take a stab at it if you still need someone.

Will you return the favor with me for S&H? I should have something to show tomorrow evening. It'll come out around 20K.

I wouldn't mind a second pair of eyes taking a look, though I'll warn you that it's gen. (That's what the recipient requested.) But someone else looking for typos and grammatical stuff wouldn't go amiss.

And I'll definitely take a look at your S&H story. Send it along when it's done and I'll give it a look either during nap time or when the little girl's gone down to bed.

Thanks!

Oh, I've no problem with gen. Especially not for UNCLE. One of the reason I haven't actually looked into that fandom was I don't know if I could see Solo and Illya getting physical with each other.

No offense to those who can. ;-)

There's some fab gen in the fandom, much of it by [livejournal.com profile] st_crispins.

Though I do slash Illya and Napoleon, I have to say my stories are rather chaste in that fandom. When I try to write sex scenes, the Illya and Napoleon in my head start rolling their eyes and asking if I must show that. At which point the Bodie and Doyle in my head start laughing their arses off and asking if they can demonstrate. (Getting B&D into bed is seriously not a problem for me.)
