possible fic

[greengerbil.livejournal.com]

drayce,
I'm in something of a dilemma here. I have a fic which I was already working on when you came up with the third list of quotes, and one of them fits rather well. Only trouble is I'm not sure if the fic itself is suitable and I think it needs a good beta regardless. And since londonronnie isn't back until Sunday I don't think she'll have time to beta it before time's up on the challenge!
It's a George Gently crossover, set in 1963 so it involves only a young Ray Doyle and no Bodie at all... and it's also maybe a bit violent. (the quote is the T Rex one about blood and tears, just to give you some idea...)
I'm not being deliberately obtuse here, honest - I really have no way of judging my own stuff. I can say it is nothing like the other piece I posted, which practically wrote itself!

Hello!

I'm just the guest challenger around here, but I *think* you'd be fine to post that story. I think the only requirement is that at least one of the Pros lads should be in there somewhere, so if Doyle is in there you should be all right.

sc_fossil posted an answer to the challenge just a few days ago using the John Deed character along with Bodie.

byslantedlight is the Mod around here if you want to double check with her. I know she also is very agreeable about acting as a Beta. If she can't help you, I could probably beta it for you in a couple of days time -- the challenge runs until the 30th. I will "point" her at this post. *g*

*puts on moddish hat, which looks alot like an icon...*

As far as being suitable for a challenge goes, well, generally the only rules are the ones about posting with trailers/lj-cuts etc - as far as the actual stories, anything goes really - as long as it's Pros! - and as long as it's not pure het. We can stretch to gen if we have to (my co-mod is much kinder than I am *g*) but we're really not het-y over here.

Violence etc is fine, it's up to you whether you give a warning for it in the trailer, that's not compulsory. There's no warning for violence in real life, and not much at the movies/on tv - and we're Pros fans, for godsake, it's hardly violence-free! - so I reckon people should be able to cope with coming across it in fic without having the vapours... *is mean* *g* If you want to be kinder than I am, use the trailer to let people know.

Beta-wise... if you throw it my way via email (of course!) I'll see if I've got time to have a quick look-through tonight, once I've finished marking for the day (3 scripts to go - whoohoo!) *g*

Yeay fic! And a George Gently crossover, too... (though sighs for no Bodie...)
