Unsung Heroes

My beta's... I have the most amazing, wonderful beta's and just I love them all!

In no particular order except maybe chronological...

bloodshedbaby  Beta'd Axis of Love and A Fortune Told for me... she is an unbelievably busy lady with not only her own fics to write, young kids to be Mum to, she also has The House of Bloodshed and The Bloodshedverse to maintain and run... yet she took time out to help a new author who knew NOTHING about how things were done, showed me the ropes, beta'd for me, archived my fics, talked me into getting an LJ (thankyou sooo much for that!) and enchouraged me every step of the way!! And also made my lovely banner for me.. **squishes BSB and banner**

oracleholly  Is a wonderful friend as well as being my beta... she Beta's To Live Again  (which is kicking my butt severely atm) and mine and mefiant_aus's collaboration fic Cornpone and the Bloodsuckers  as well as having beta'd my BSV Round Robin chap and my Watcher's Diaries fic When Death Comes Calling. On top of this she is also a great writer for whom I have the privilage of betaing Poetry Slam and Spike's Way.

amybnnyc  What can I say... she is like a sister I never knew I had... we are on YM all day and most of the night together EVERY day... she talks me through when my wip's are kicking my butt... she is a shoulder to cry on, a cheersquad, a personal shrink LOL and pretty bloody scary when she catches my reading or playing with Photoshop when I am suppossed to be writing! LOL.. Amy beta's.. In Dreams What May, and has beta'd Two chapters of A Fortune Told for me when RL was keeping poor BSB so busy she didn't have time, Between the Motion and the Act (My Wesley fic), To Sin--Divine and its sequel Dawn and will have a new fic to beta very shortly which at this point has no name... **glares at BSB..thanx for the plot bunny!!** AmyB is also another incredible author I am honoured to beta for, her Fear In a Handful of Dust is excellent as is Staring at your window (which was my B'day pressie!!) and her Wesley fic
A Smaller God.

I have also been lucky enough to have mefiant_aus  and Slaymesoftly beta for me on occasions when RL has been a bitch to my other beta's and I greatly appreciate their time and work too... thankyou ladies!

OK, take 3, and this one is going to be uber-quick because LJ is an evil bitch goddess:

I love my C! You truly are the sister I never dreamed that I have, and I think that one of the luckiest days in my life was the day that I decided to delurk and stumbled into Verse chat, where I met you. You are my best friend, my confidante, my mentor, my cheer-chiatrist, and oh so much more. I can't imagine a day without you in my life, and don't want to try.

Thank you for the sweet things you said about my stories (and for being my beta, natch). It is truly an honor and a joy to beta for you, too.

Huge hugs, dearest... *squishes C*

I also thank the day you decided to delurk on the verse... I gained so much that day, apart from the obvious in a wonderful and much loved friend and a fabulous beta.. also one hell of a good story in the shape of 'Fear' so... like I said... much gain that day!!!
And yes **nods emphatically** LJ is soooo evil sometimes...hate it when it eats posts!
