Makes you wonder if there should be a shipping forum.

If you wanna chat shipper/anti-shipper, start another topic. Is ne1 gonna help me or is anyone who actually cares gonna wait forever to hear how Kaila falls down a hole, breaks her leg, gets knocked unconcious and needs to be rescued by sg1? Anyone? I'M LAZY! GIVE ME A HAND HERE!!


Oh, and if you haven't read my fic, my character:

Kaila "If I'd had my hand in that any longer I'd barely be able to feel it if I stabbed myself. It would still
hurt, just not as much, and I'm against self-mutilation anyway. Oh...um...who are you people?"

"The hell you ain't! Welcome to the land of Oz, Dorothy!"


The series is called Down Under. I need help. Please.

Well, um, I'm not big on fanfic, as in I rarely read it, but I'm happy to beta read and stuff, and check out plot lines and grammar or whatever. What exactly would you want doing?

I'm willing to help as well. What was it you wanted again?

I read the fic, I am 100% positive that I did but I can't seem to remember any of it any more so I'll go read and again and get back to you.

Kaila, I think Heliopolis now has a list of beta readers. You might want to ask one of them to review your fic.

I don't want a beta-reader. I want someone who can duplicate my style of writing, take the pre-determined events and write them into a workable story, and basically do half of the work for me! Is this too much too ask? I know, I should write it myself, but I'd really like to work through it with someone. Oh, by the way, if you're gonna respond to this positively, I suggest you read the fanfic first. Anyway, my email is [email protected].

Actually, it is. Why should I spend my creative energies on someone else's fic?

No flames please

Kaila, you want a 'co-author' and I suggest you ask for as much, and don't credit anyone who would help with much less

Maybe you could find one on the beta list?

Cumtraya, Kaila!

I've already told you to do the bull gag. It works.
Also, gotta get more Teal'c into it! Remember the Paul/Jack character, you should try it out! Red high heels would do him wonders! How 'bout Tok'ra involvement!?! And if you really love your cousin, you'll put in Charlie (not the dead kid), Martouf, and Makepeace.

Ah, yes. I start to get depressed after seeing page after page of people telling me to do it myself, then i come across a reply from my cousin. Truly inspirational. I did use your bull joke, thanks, but lets keep the red high heels out of it, shall we? Thanks anyway. I'll give the beta-reader thing a go....sigh....if i must. Oh well. Better get back to it.

Oh, by the way, how does one get a beta-reader anyway? I tried at heliopolis but it didn't make any sense whatsoever to me. Either I'm just too easily confused, or it was too late at night/early in the morning. I'm guessing the latter. Anyways, any help here would be good. Sigh, if I say it enough, someone might respond. I hope.
