(cross-posted to Fan Fiction) Is there anyone out there who would be willing to beta-read a Code Name Verity fic I'm finishing up for Yuletide. Right now, I mostly need someone to help check character voices and to make sure I didn't muff any major bits of canon.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Scholastic actually does a really good job of matching up age with reading level (so if you've got a 1st grader reading at a 4th grade level, you can find more difficult books with stories of interest to a 6 year-old, or vice versa).

I don't have a good enough memory of canon to do so Anne, but I can't wait to read it at Yuletide!

Thank you, meara! I did get someone to volunteer over in the FF thread, so I'm covered.
Good to know that about Scholastic, Jessica.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am reading Outlander on my Nook, and it's gripping. But I can't work out what I've bought. Is the first book 800+ pages? This might be the end of me.
That and the way she writes pain, the swiving sadist.

Yes, each of the books is ridiculously long.

Shit. Good shit, but shit nonetheless.
Let's try and post this only once.
