I wrote! For the Five Things Challenge on [livejournal.com profile] sga_flashfic.

Four Times John Sheppard Didn't Really Get Married And One Time He Did

which is 4300 words of McKay/Sheppard, humor, with a little romance thrown in. Exactly what it says on the tin.

On the beta front [personal profile] naye and [profile] tacittype just rocked at making this a lot better.

Was my pleasure to do beta for you! I had lots of fun. Much more fun than doing edits on my own fic.

That's awesome, because on this end it was a blast, too! And I can't even begin to imagine how much work you have to put into a 60k word edit!

I'm glad! It's really rewarding to work on someone else's story - niggle the details, and let them work out how to fix it. *g*

...not to terrify you with our insanity or anything, but the fic is close to 90,000 words. 88,000 is the average we get from our respective word processors. SO. Yes. 30K more than 60K! Whoo! WE ARE MAD. (And [livejournal.com profile] friendshipper is away without internet, which is why I'm having semi-public freakouts rather than just throwing it all at her.)

I remember now! 60k was an in-between count you mentioned a few weeks ago, I think. 90k! You really are insane. *g*
