I'm hereby declaring October 9-15 to be Beta Reader Appreciation WEEK, so that I don't have to be late in posting. (Of course, this change gives us a rather odd acronym, but it can't be helped.)

Anyway, my partner is my usual beta reader, and I appreciate her in many ways, not all of which need to be described in LJ.

But I would also like to express my appreciation for several fanficcers who are not my beta readers, but whose support and friendship sustain me as a writer and as a person. They are. . .

Seema

august (from whom I haven't heard in a while, but who was one of the first people in Trek fandom to encourage me and who did me the inestimable service of offering to host my stories on her webpage, the incomparable "Archipelago of Angst." By great good luck, that site was among the Trekfic sites I came across. I've been aspiring to its high writing standards ever since.)

I've been fairly active on the writing front. I wrote a fairly short J/T just before my summer, which was set between "Extreme Risk" and "Nothing Human." Don't know if you've seen that--Alex saw it and didn't like the more depressive aspects. *g* I consider it a good reflection of my mood at the time.

Then, during the second week of basic I had a foreign language briefing, during which I experienced a sudden (and unusual for me) J/7 craving, and drafted out a little something on my little issued memo pad while sitting in the auditorium while being subjected to bad Russian pop. I wrote it out on letterhead later, thus worrying the roomie. Now it's posted.

Have you ever taught a VOY fangirl? Because that would be so cool. I had a teacher who for creative writing let me do fic. It was pure heaven. And she didn't even get Star Trek.
