SQLiteStudio is free and open source, according to its "about" thingy.

As an example, if I click on the contents of a message I sent on 2001-07-14 19:20:21 (message #251 in the listing; I can see the message #, the subject, and the contents of the message), I get a text box with:


Hi out there. Me again.



So, now I'm working on that fic I mentioned. My very

first. And I've got what I would consider the first

part done. Now I'm wondering about this custom I hear

of called beta reading...



I've never written a fic before in any fandom, but

I've read enough stuff to have a vague idea of what

beta readers do. I guess that (depending on the

reader/writer relationship) they'll do the good ol'

grammar, spelling, and consistency checks, and

possibly constructive criticism about plot,

characterization, technique, or whatever - depending

on how involved they are.



So... should I have a beta reader? Could I have one?

Is anyone interested?



To give anyone interested an idea what they're getting

in for:

It's a Mac/Vic story, very angsty, h/c, with Mac doing

the hurtin' and Vic the comforting. It's, uh, about

6000 words now and still pretty g-rated, but I'm

getting there. :)



My greatest need from a beta, I think, would be to

make sure I'm not bizarrely contradicting canon (since

I still haven't seen all the episodes - though I have

seen the pilot now, thanks so much Carla!!). Other

helpful suggestions are also welcome, and moral

support would be nice. :)



Bye for now,



Shadowscast
