erastesFilm Four is Free. I die happy.
The trailer for the "Dragon's Den" programme has to be one of the best trailers EVER.
Am reprising my boys from the gay science fiction piece I submitted to Greg Herren's Distant Horizons and giving them another adventure. Would be nice to have some regular characters that I could do a few stories about.
Nothing else to report. Although I tell you what, beta-ing for someone who doesn't bother to say "thanks" really pisses me off. Next time, I shall say "no"

Date: 2006-07-24 10:19 pm (UTC)I appreciate my beta's work and love her to little pieces, and I know I am very lucky that we can work together so well. I think it's just a part of the mutual deal to say thank you. In the a/n, with a link to a story or a picture she might enjoy, with a personal email, whatever. Even if you won't work together on the next fic. It's such a stupid attitude to disregard our betas, because without them, there would be a much slower development for the writers.
I know I'm preaching to the choir. So I'll just stop the rant now and simply tell you:
Thanks for betaing, for writing and sharing the experience, and for being around on LJ!

Absolutely. Happened to me, too, and it's bloody rude.

Date: 2006-07-25 06:45 am (UTC)I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding, (i hope) but I could have done without it.
