Please?

Not betaed fanfic before, but I know the characters...if you just want a reader's honest opinion, I can do that.

Bear in mind that it *is* slash (not explicit, of course, since that doesn't fit this universe), so it's probably out of character from the start. If that doesn't bother you, I'd love to get your input.

I need an address to send it to, and would you prefer text or Word? Or html?

zander AT nyrond DOT co DOT uk will reach me, and Word is fine. If you still need me...

I would be happy to beta for you, I just don't know Discworld - is understanding the setting/story/characters necessary?

Unfortunately, yes. I'm sorry - I love using you as a beta.

Thanks. Another time then :)

Have a good yontif.

Just finished Guards! Guards!, and was wondering if anyone had written this. Will happily beta for you, as always!

I'd love to use you, but it's major spoilers for books you haven't read yet.

Sorry.

Will beta. Have read all of the Vimes books, so know the characters well. Have been curious about this since you first proposed writing it.

Looks like you have enough betas already, so I will only say YAY!

We'll see. I'm worried about this one.

Well, if you need another pair of eyes, I'm willing. I know the canon, and have betaed before: I'm slow but brutal.

Well, keep me in mind for next time. :) In the meantime, I shall merely bounce and await what comes. Which I suspect will be dark and wrong, ala Nightwing/Deathstroke.

Huh. That *would* have been a way to go, and I might next time.

But this time? Not so much.

The very notion breaks my brain, though I'm quite familiar with the characters. Other than that sticking point, I'd have loved to beta. I just don't think I can do it with proper allowance for it being slash.

It's done! I want to read it! I can't promise to beta it as I'm drowning in real-life reviewing, but I do want to read it when it's finally posted somewhere.
