So amused.

I know I'm airing dirty laundry, but this is too funny. (My co-writers can kill me tomorrow.)

You thought your beta was bad. Try writing with three other people who are used to being extremely critical betas.

Ha!

[livejournal.com profile] josephides, [livejournal.com profile] poohmusings, [livejournal.com profile] nandamai, and I are writing a fic together. Do not ask why we chose to inflict this upon ourselves. (At least this time I've actually written something, instead of just weaseling my way out of it.) So I open up the latest...what would you call it...beta draft and stop. And nearly die at the first paragraph.

The first paragraph is 66 words long.

24 of those words are highlighted.

2 words are stricken.

2 words are underlined.

*10* paragraphs of notes after it. HAHAHAHAHA! 10! Color-coded! Okay, I admit, 3 of those paragraphs are mine...

Hang on! The jacket's back! How'd the jacket get back into the story, guys??

(Yes, I'm supposed to be napping. Lousy cold.)

*snicker* Once we're done with this fic, we'll show everyone the map that it came from. Heh.
