therhoda: Yup, the TP quality is important, no doubt. I won't go into the yucky details, but... ERM. Anyway. ;D Karots: WoW! What a story. You might have wanted to split it up in three parts, or something... for better readability. From a technical POV, some scenes were a bit rushed (you might want to employ a beta... ;D *runs for cover*), but I loved the fun little details you brought in. Fics like that make me crave for more interaction between the groups...

Yeah, looking back on it, I probably should have split it up, but because the scenes ranged from extremely long to rather short, I wasn't sure where to cut. I know that some of the scenes look rushed ... honestly, they kinda were But the thing is ... a) cut me slack, I'm sick ;D and b) I plain ran out of things to say. There are only so many descriptive words and speech tags, and my mental arsenal has about four at the moment. Major brainfart, if you will. I'm still pleased with it, but it's no literary masterwork After a while, it was just tough to ...wax philosophical... on toilet paper and retain the stuff I wanted to really save for the next few chapters of Breakroom. So in that respect I kinda shortchanged it too. Opti said the b-word. Ooh, heinous

*huggles* Sick??? That's not a virus transferable by the internet I caught last week and transferred to you... isn't it? Get well soon, and colds suck. You seriously need a beta Might help you calm down and think. (she says and runs away ;D) But don't worry, you'll get serious and constructive feedback to bite you in the butt from this old hag

Heh, yeah, colds suck. I'm still sick. Grr. It's just an annoyance by now, but still. Mmf. As for a beta: I was wronged once, and I shall not be again! ...Or something like that. (*Nac Mac Feegle infiltrate my brain*) I just never found a beta that was a) timely (as in within two weeks of sending ><) b) technically skilled as a 'beta' beyond "Omg give more!!" or "...what?" with no other constructive comments. I'm a big head case and need nurturing P'raps I'll put out an ad, whenever I get some free time to write again. Wouldn't -dream- of drafting you into something you didn't have time to do

That makes two of us sick... I was out and down the past two days with a fever. It's better now and I'm back to work, but I'm still not doing too well :/ In any case, I hope you're doing much better very soon. As long as it's just content-betaing, and non-'Boy's Love', I could give it a try. I'll try to be fast, but with RL, I sometimes just can do work on the weekends, and I don't know if that's fast enough for you.

Eeq, we're both just a couple of invalids Oh, so much fun. Hope you feel as good as I do - 85% isn't a bad place to be As for beta-ing, I think all I really *want* is a content beta. Just to make sure I'm still in character and sorts of stuff like that. As for RL, I can only -write- on the weekends We may suit one another yet. Blackjack does have two m/m relationships, but that's been on the back burner for -ages- in favor of Breakroom. I *know* you're okay with Breakroom

Ah, that's just fine, then. And I'm perfectly okay with Breakroom, yep. You know my email address, send me the chappy, and I'll give it a nice shear (of course, I can just shear the rest of it, too, if you want).

*snickers* This all sounds very amusing, i believe I shall have to go look you up KarotsaMused. For some reason I haven't read any of your fics for awhile but I enjoyed those I have read before. Toilet Paper? *runs off laughing to look for fic* Zell
