I have been a writing fiend this week- posting FIVE The Losers ficlets. I'm feeling pretty brilliant about this, thanks for asking. *g*

A snippet from the latest one I finished this morning (all can be found on AO3):

Jensen watched as everyone fell for Cougar. Men, women, children, dogs, cats, you name it, Cougar could wrap them around his little finger. Jensen hated being part of the crowd, so he fought hard against Cougar’s charms. Not that Cougar set out to charm Jensen. Which, what was up with that? Jensen was a catch, Cougar should be trying to get into his pants daily. But whatever. If Cougar didn’t want Jensen, Jensen certainly didn’t want Cougar.

I'm getting several short prompt fills from various challenges posted on AO3 today, they're already saved as drafts so I only need to copy/paste/update and I'm also going to be doing some more editing on my kidficstory big bang later on.

I can't share a snippet because it's from my PG rated Taggart fic for the big bang and I am still looking for a beta for it, I don't need fandom/canon knowledge because it is set post series and post canon, I mainly need SPaG, consistency and repetition that I've more than likely missed during my own editing. It is around 9000 words and finished and I'm posting on 16.2 (3 weeks from today *panics*)

If it is finished, I can help you out beta-wise? I have time this weekend.

One caveat, I'm okay grammar-wise, but sometimes commas still trip me up. But i can certainly help with respect to consistency and repetition.

[lilly_c]

Yeah that'd be great. Thanks.

I won't be free until next weekend, but if you can get it to me before Friday, I will have it to you by the end of Sunday?

My computer is malfunctioning and that has set me back on editing/posting, writing, and canon refreshing.
