Okay, here we go. I am looking for British-type people to British-proof my fic. I'm not really looking for a beta - I'll get that through other sources and later. All you would need to do is look for words and phrases in my fic that are completely wrong in the British lexicon.

I will not lie. This thing is huge. I'm at 22,000 words now. Which is why I'm thinking maybe more than one person could do it? Maybe? Unless someone *wanted* to do the whole thing. See, I've got sections completed and I'm ready to ship off parts to get British-ized. The sections usually run around 1,000 - 1,500 words and I *will* ship them off out of order - don't plan on having it make much sense since you'll probably have no context.

Again, you would *not* have to check for grammar, characterization, etc. (unless you just can't help yourself) as I'll go through final editing and beta round later. But you do not have to be afraid to tell me anything and everything that's wrong in relation to its Britishness - phrases, wording, etc. I am used to *brutal* betas (and I love them for it) and you cannot hurt my feelings.

The fandom's Doctor Who and it's Doctor/Rose. Totally PG for language. (Sorry, kids. No smut in this one.) Post Doomsday with spoilers for just about everything in S1 and S2.

And now I will go to bed out of fear. Even though currently all British-type people are happily snoozing.

*waves hand*

I'll give it a shot.

Why not? I'm temporarily unemployed :P

Plus my friends used to take the mickey out of me for 'talking posh' cos I say stuff in the Queens English. So I'm extra-britishy, maybe?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh fabulous!! I'll ship something off shortly if you don't mind. :)

[elaminen.livejournal.com]

Of course :)

[sethoz.livejournal.com]

I am teh British.

I'll give it a shot, but only up to Sunday evening as I'll be intenter-net less for Mon-Fri...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You are teh FAB! I'll ship over a section now. No rush. :)

[hyari.livejournal.com]

I have never been happier to not be British. :d

[hyari.livejournal.com]

OMG MAKE YOUR DOG STOP STARING AT ME. PERV.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

See, this is why I use ?style=mine most of the time. So I can avoid having that dog stare at me. ;-)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

But it's such an innocent little thing!

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's cute. Actually, I use ?style=mine more to avoid the journals who for some reason have strange and blinding color schemes. The dog is pretty inoffensive, comparatively speaking. :-D

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah, some journals are really hard for me to read for some reason.

[hyari.livejournal.com]

I think it may be the giant "KATEE + JAMIE 4EVA!!!!" banners in their layouts. I'm just sayin.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Who? I know not of which to speak. Because I choose not to know.

THAT DOES NOT EXIST ON MY FLIST. AT ALL.

[hyari.livejournal.com]

He just stands there and judges every thing that every one has to say. Asshole!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Me or the dog?

[hyari.livejournal.com]

Depends. Do you self-identify as a "He?"

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Well, the "asshole" could have been in reference to me for having the dog stand there and judge...

[hyari.livejournal.com]

I was merely referencing the amusing link to your company's earthquake potty post. I was reading it and they typing and suddenly, it hit me, "ASSHOLE!"

Which is to say that it was not so much used in a *perjorative* sense, as it was more an exclamation of sudden glee that, in the case poor MV was stuck in an earthquake, certain of your most basic needs would be met.

In sum:
"Asshole! " = "YAY PORTAPOTTY!"
"Asshole!" <> "Creepy dog!"
"Asshole!" <> "Self-gender-identification-impaired MV"
"Asshole!" = "YAY PORTAPOTTY!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hobbits are not meant to be electricians

[hyari.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. But your icon also scares me because 1) it looks like he's holding a big glowing penis, and 2) I had a dream last week that Sam Gamgee was an electrician and a BAD electrician at that, and his earnest but BAD work made a building collapse.

(I got out in time).

Excuse me, I must go lie down and whimper now. Between MV's dog and your icon, I have had a pretty bad commenting experience.

Re: Hobbits are not meant to be electricians

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

See, now you're just trying to scare my new Doctor Who friends, aren't you?

This is why my dog judges you.

Re: Hobbits are not meant to be electricians

[hyari.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but your new Doctor Who friends have a picture of a hobbit holding a BIG GIANT GLOWING PENIS from the BALLS UP in the PALM OF IT's TINY HOBBIT HAND.

EW.

(Plus I am jealous of your new Dr. Who friends. They get fic! What do we, your old, faithful SG-1 friends get? *SOB*)

Re: Hobbits are not meant to be electricians

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but your new Doctor Who friends have a picture of a hobbit holding a BIG GIANT GLOWING PENIS from the BALLS UP in the PALM OF IT's TINY HOBBIT HAND.

And? Pretty sure that was the entire plot of the 2nd movie.

(Plus I am jealous of your new Dr. Who friends. They get fic! What do we, your old, faithful SG-1 friends get? *SOB*)

Um...

Virtual cookie?

Re: Hobbits are not meant to be electricians

[hyari.livejournal.com]

And? Pretty sure that was the entire plot of the 2nd movie.

NOW I finally get it. I knew Orlando couldn't be so pretty for nothing.

And no good. You stole that virtual cookie from my rabbit. >.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

No, because like I said, my dog is JUDGING YOU.

[hyari.livejournal.com]

I don't think you would be so INSENSITIVE if you knew the extent to which it is FREAKING ME THE HELL OUT. Turn it towards the wall...or something.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I think it wants your bunny's cookie.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Or maybe it just wants the bunny.

[hyari.livejournal.com]

Liek, "wants" as in "eat like the cookie" or "wants" as in "making sweet, sweet Chef love to it?" Cause either way, I think you and your dog are cracked.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Good question. I'm not sure and I don't ask. I respect its privacy.

And yes, I'm cracked. I have been made this way by a little British show that done ate my brain. People fear me now, which is EXCELLENT.

[hyari.livejournal.com]

I have always feared you, even before the British cracked your brain!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

And the feeling was mutual ever since snow!Daniel with snow!boobs.

(bwahahahaha!)

[hyari.livejournal.com]

I like to think of that as an AU. And AU WITH MAN BOOBS.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

That's fairly bold. Not everyone would go the AU route with manboobs.

hahahahaha!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Well, now you must write this. You realize that, right?

Yes.

Also, haven't thought about an Archive note in FOREVER. Hell, NASA could be archiving my fic for all I know.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Here. You've been gone a while. This is why I'm cracked. And why my journal's in a constant state of dog-judging what.

ACK! OPPOSITE-SIDES-OF-THE-WALL ANGST!

Okay, just reading those comments made me sad. *feels sudden compassion for poor MV's brain*

It made me so sad for the shippers in your fandom that a feeling of utter compassion has come over me. I am thinking about reaching across the divide and making amends with your creepy dog. It may be that he is not judgemental. Maybe he is not saying "What" to every other comment made because he is judging or mocking or laughing at us. Maybe, just maybe, he is just recently crossed the border illegally and he doesn't speaky the English. So maybe, this is all just a big misunderstanding.

And maybe we can all learn from this, and learn and grow and be better people.

Just maybe.

(And maybe I'm done with my workday and am going out for Chinese with friends!)

There was much mourning in the land.

It made me so sad for the shippers in your fandom that a feeling of utter compassion has come over me. I am thinking about reaching across the divide and making amends with your creepy dog.

Then the angst-filled epic separation between the Doctor and Rose may actually do some good in the world after all.

Or maybe the angst-filled epic separation between the Doctor and Rose was for nothing.

You never know. It's possible.

Just maybe.

Get her, boy!

(And maybe I'm done with my workday and am going out for Chinese with friends!)

Happy Friday!

[makesometime.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'll give it a go :) I get a bit of a kick out of being Brit-picky :)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Wooo!! Thanks! Am shipping something now. No rush. :)

[makesometime.livejournal.com]

Great, got the email. Getting down to it now :)

[nandamai]

Couldn't talk Jojo into this, either, huh? ;)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Jojo's on my "you may not read this" list. We have a mutual agreement - she won't read this and I won't read her HP fic. Heh heh heh.
