Does anyone know of a beta community/place that does betaing for short fics? Like drabbles and one shots? Or you know, really short, not really involved betaing?

I ask because I have about seven fics open in Jarte (my new wordpad-like program which I love) which are at various stages ranging from "needs someone to push me into posting/telling me to alter things slightly" to "I am stuck and don't know what to do" and "the first paragraph is COMPLETELY different from the last" to "I like one bit of this, but not the rest, any ideas?". Oh and the ever present "There is an outline and I shall eventually flesh that out. But no, I don't really need any help, just encouragement".

There are two Bleach, three HOLiC and two Torchwood.
So yeah, anyone want to volunteer or tell me where I might find such a beta?


Also, I still need a term for background sexing up that isn't "background sexing up".

LOLZ. sexing up.

Imma get the internet thesaurus:

array, beautify, bedeck, deck, doll up, dress up, embellish, enhance, enrich, fix up, furbish, garnish, grace, gussy up, ornament, spruce up, trim

And I have to growl at the dictionary for picking the wrong definition. I do not want "to make erotic". I want things like groping and fondling, except NOT THOSE words.

I currently have 'attentions'. It's the general tone I want, but isn't quite specific enough. Which is probably asking the impossible, as I want something not too lewd but still descriptive.

Is there an urban thesaurus?

One word I'm pretty sure I've seen used is "ministrations"...

[grass-angel.livejournal.com]

It is currently a toss up between that and 'attentions'.

I can send you the fic in question if you like. (It's the Torchwood OT4 one and is short and I am this close to posting it.)

I like "ministrations".
