Reason #4,752,927 I love my betas

[jadesfire]

Since my sga_santa is so overdue already, I've opened up the googledoc to my betas, to get instant feedback and corrections. What I hadn't counted on is that they might start talking amongst themselves. Details have been omitted to preserve my ficly anonymity for the challenge.

Me: [*writes a paragraph of Thrilling Action*]
Donutsweeper: (this seems ooc for Sheppard, he always does X)
Rustydog:(Maybe Y was going on)
Donutsweeper: That would work, but then would need to be made more clear- that he did Z first in order to do Y, that sort of thing.
Me: Ladies, please! No fighting in the editorials! Yeah, the idea was Y. Will fix.
Donutsweeper: But pistols at dawn were up next! No fair!

*pets them*

*hides pistols*

I'm at home all day today, as is the other half who's still down with a lurgy, poor thing (before anyone asks, it's not man-flu - he's quite ill :S). Looking at the state of the flat (and him) booking these few days of holiday was a very good idea. There's a long list of stuff to get done, but today I might actually have the time to do it \o/ I like days off.

How's everyone else? I'm very jealous of you guys who have snow, but hope everyone's keeping warm. Apart from in_the_bottle who I hope is keeping cool ;) I'll try not to spam you today but time off means more time for posting. Mwahahahahahaha

Ahahahahahaha.

Haha.

*Ahem*

ETA: *flail* I CAN HAS DUKS! You know how we live right by the river? You didn't? Oh. Anyway, we live right by the river and sometimes feed the ducks from the living room window. This morning, they were right up on the lawn so I went and sat on the front doorstep and fed them! And they cam right over to take it out of my hand *flails*

I think this morning is now officially made of awesome.

I'm guessing the ducks were on your lawn because they're thinking 'freezing water' vs. 'heated home' and drawing the logical conclusion.

"Across the gulf of the back garden, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this centrally heated building with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

I am *never* going to look at a duck inthe same way again, ever. *is creeped out*
