Admit it, campy, you're a 'shipper.

So I started writing a Stargate SG-1 Daniel/Vala story (working title: "Bookend") that I fully intended to become a short, rough, dirty smutbiscuit, (approx. 1500 words) and now it's grown into a much longer NC-17 romance, about 5000 words long.

::headdesk::

The Daniel/Vala pairing is such an epic, beautiful mess, in the vein of Mulder/Scully, only with more energy and cosmic tragedy, without the canonical dulling squelch that Chris Carter brings.

Man, I'm losin mah hardcore slash/crack rep because of Dr. Jackson and Vala.

I'm gonna need a couple beta readers for this thing:
- canon up to "Continuum",
- typo-spotter,
- characterization detector,
- title/summary advisor,
- FanFiction.net abridgment editor

Not sure what the best tech interface would be for this: email, Google Docs, a beta board?

Any volunteers? ::crickets::

Mmm smutbiscuit!

I can take a look see, although I have no idea what an abridgement editor is. :P (email is in my profile)

Thanks for volunteering!

OK, I'm in the middle of converting the whole thing from 3rd person Daniel POV past tense to 1st person Daniel POV present tense after I got to the Sanskrit part, because you can't write about Sanskrit in the past tense.

Anyway, it may be a day or so for me to email you my final draft. I have the second sex scene and some segues to compose.

Oh, duh on me.

FanFiction.net doesn't want "NC-17" type stuff on their servers (they have advertising), so I was wondering what other authors do when a chapter or two in a longish story gets explicit.

Do they tell readers to go to their blog, or do they [bleep] the dirty words? Cuz I've got f-bombs and other Anglo-Saxon gems in there.

I wouldn't have a clue hon. I don't use FF.net, I host all my own fic on my site. You could upload it to Heliopolis 2?
