But I'm puzzled by one remark you made. What did you mean when you said that Debbie was your beta? If it's some kind of inside thing between the two of you, then please feel free not to answer.
Hiya Gary! Sorry for the late reply, just saw your question.
I'm in the middle of writing a slash story called "Tribute". Debbie is acting as my beta, meaning I give her my work before it is posted to my Live Journal account. She proofreads it for mistakes, and to check for continuity, and returns it to me with corrections (spelling, grammar) and makes possible suggestions (that I am free to take or not) and then I post it to be read.
