Now I Can Share

So now that the authours for the Highlander holiday fic exchange have been revealed, I can share my amusement. I betaed [livejournal.com profile] amonitrate's story, though I didn't know who it was for. Then the stories went up, and I saw it was for [livejournal.com profile] pat_t, which was cool. But the amusing part? I saw it was listed as slash. I hadn't realized it was slash when I betaed it, you see. So I had quite the giggle when I realized I'd betaed a slash story for [livejournal.com profile] pat_t of all people! Not to mention her reaction [g] I've been waiting oh so patiently for the reveal so I could share!

Oh - you're too funny. You didn't know it was for me? When Tray beta'd mine, I asked her to look at my receiver's post to make sure it woule be suitable for what she asked for *g*.

I'm sure you didn't read mine though. I'm afraid you wouldn't have any problems figuring out it was slash. It had het in it too though.

I haven't read any of the stories, other than the two I betaed - and I'm still amazed I got that done!

Nope, I had no idea it was for you or that it was slash [g] When I found out, I really did have a giggle fit.

In all seriousness, a slasher can read slash in many stories even if it isn't explicit unless the story is designed to absolutely exclude the possibility of a relationship. I kid Tray because she never writes sex - she just implies or fades out. Not that I kid her about that, she's so talented. What I kid her about is betaing my explicit scenes because I tell her she closes her eyes during those scenes *g*.

ROTFL!! I used to close my eyes when I wrote sex scenes [snicker] Hard to explain, but I'd sort of dissociate myself from what I was wrting and was always surprised when I went back and read the results [g]

LOL that's brilliant so many stories are tottally open to interpretation. I tend to assume my favourite pairings if there's any hint of it in the story.

See, slash is sneaky like that *grins* It can creep up to you and bam! you had no idea *laughs*.
I guess that means we can nominate you an honorary slasher now?
Oh,and happy holidays!

Well, I did verbally write a Red Dwarf Cat/Lister story, many many years ago. It involved fish oil [g]

Happy holidays!

It was!

Stealth slash indeed. That's funny! I don't remember if I changed anything after you beta-ed to make it more slashy or not, but since it was mostly about the banter, the slash wasn't really the focus.

I've never known you to write slash, so it never even occurred to me to ask, which I normally do before I offer to beta [g] So I was quite clueless - as per usual!

[identity profile] amonitrate.livejournal.com 2009-12-25 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
heh. I'm mostly a gen girl, but I've been known to stick in a bit of slash when writing for a slash fan recipient.
