Actually, I am in need of a beta! So if you're offering that would be fab. My fandom twin beta'd my first fic (which considering the activity of fandom and the cest ship I was pleasantly surprised w/ comments) but she hates betaing. A lot.
Sure. My email is my LJ username at gmail yada yada yada you know the rest. ;-) I don't have the fastest turnaround on the planet, but I will try.
So where's the fic? Not reading my Friends page I likely never saw it. /is made of fail/ For the most part the fandom got over their OMG INCEST! shock in 2006 or so. There are some still new to the fandom who still act a bit scandalized, but most people just treat it like the genre it is: cest vs het or slash or femmeslash. Not everyone likes all four. (/raises hand/ I do! And gen!)
FWIW we added Twilight to ficfinishing this month. I've been having trouble getting to people in that and the Terminator fandom so if you have any suggestions on how to get the word out to those fen that would be great.
Also with cest I find it hard to work in other pairings because if it worked with someone else why in the world would X choose to be with a sibling?
Oh, there's a whole big speech that I have as to the reasons to choose incest (in fiction), but I'll spare you it for now. Suffice to say, there is no love deeper than family, no one who knows you like blood, so if they love you romantically on top of that? How can anyone you meed later in life compare?
[Heh, I am writing your bonded!bros prompt for ROK this round.]
Oh, I've submitted so many I can't remember them. Refresh my memory, please?
I trained in poetry so I consider fan fic and writing within one pairing a lot like form. It's a challenge but one I like.
I admit to taking a poetry class in college so I appreciate the drabble as my most poetic art form for fic, Cascade (http://emmademarais.livejournal.com/61823.html) being one of my more overt poetic type experiments. I love playing with structure so I've got quite a few pieces that play with it.
Okay, I'm off to give Megan cancer again. Back for more later!
