To help us all along,  and inspired by the F*** Yeah Fanfic Flamingo Tumblr   (NSFW) (thanks [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen  and [livejournal.com profile] mikes_grrl ) I've created a little meme generator...

Who better to ask for help with your story than the Controller himself - that's 'Mister' Cowley to you and me. *g*

My beta-ish read my draft and it's not the utter crap I was thinking! yay.

I'm just south of 60%, which sounds more impressive than mygodihavetowriteanothereightthousandpluswords.

I'm also a little stuck - as I posted on my LJ a couple of days back, "when I explain the plot it sounds actually pretty interesting, but when I try to write it I get stuck" - but I think it's more I need to put it down for a couple of days. It's a three-day weekend here starting tomorrow, so maybe around Sunday / Monday I'll see if I can get some writing done.

I'm pretty sure I'll make the word count. But, considering the characters have really changed since I started, and I'm trying to write rather than revise right now, the first draft is going to be oogly.

Yay for your beta being enthusiastic, that's always nice.

When in doubt, I have the lads drink tea. There, I thought you might want a quick tip on how to inject more excitement. Ahem...

*shakes pom poms*

LOL, I'm probably going to be the one with the tea. But they're off in AU land, where I don't think there's much tea to be had...

Ah, then I have no helpful suggestions at all as AU and I are non-mixy things. <--- *known far and wide for her elegant use of the English language*

This 70s gritty cop show based fandom LOVES AU though with a love that knows no bounds so you should be on to a winner.

Thanks! I keep thinking around the edges of the story, which I'm taking to mean I'm going through possibilities subconsciously. :D

Having some comforting words from your beta is really encouraging, isn't it? Good on ya!

I've only "known" her about six months, but the relationship with my beta-ish is going very well.

...I wonder if she'd be on board for the original fic I've had percolating for about 18 months?
