Betaing

Have I mentioned that I suck at betaing? I never feel like I'm doing a thorough enough job. And I always feel like I'm rude. And then I get irritated and pouty if my advice is not heeded, even if it's the author's prerogative to change or not. I suck.

Today I read through marguerite_26's Spike/Anya fic and helped a bit with ladycat777's Angelus/Xander fic. Actually, I was glad to help, but I hardly got anything written myself.

This morning I fiddled with my own Spike/Anya fic but I didn't get past the road block, I merely managed to edit out a few superfluous words and I replaced an explanation of what was going on with an image that conveyed the same thing. That was satisfying.

Yesterday I sent Marcee the latest version of chapter 43 of TPTP - after extensive re-writes. Hopefully, she'll manage to read it this weekend.

Tomorrow I have to game-master a fantasy roleplaying session at a convention - and I'm completely unprepared. The thing is, because I am affiliated with the publishing company that produces the game in question, I'm considered an 'official' and players expect me to be a brilliant, clever and competent game-master. Ho boy.

I really should have spent a few hours preparing but somehow ended up doing other stuff. Now I feel guilty. And tomorrow I will feel both guilty and stressed. *sigh*
