Hey guys--I had the honor and privilege and absolute pleasure to beta a wonderful fic written by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fishponies, also known as amand_r and her little bro (and my b/f) cruentum. This is an rps fic, based on Nick's favorite man John Barrownman, his partner Scott Gill, GDL and his lovely partner Gemma.
Check it out: Follow this link to Closed Set
I don't often get the chance to beta my own SO's work. I usually am his first reader, true, and always am there to watch his writings evolve from initial creation to final presentation (which is a very interesting process--I love experiencing how someone else creates a fic), but beta? For credit and everything? Nah, that's not usually what he needs from me.
I've had the pleasure of being the beta for a Mandr fic once before (or twice? once I think! I can't remember--once for sure!). I love Mandr's stories simply because they come from her brain, and her creativity and love for writing is just wonderful to see and be a part of. I don't care what it is--who it is about, what fandom, doesn't matter to me. I just plain love her writing.
But...this wasn't just a Nick fic this time, and not just a Mandr fic this time. This was a fic written by them both, together, in tandem, side-by-side (and alot of other tricky things they evolved into doing in order to write this story).
Each writer brought their unique talents to the creative table (or, maybe rather, to Googledocs). They are good, very good at what they do and this fic showcases that. I hope you'll bop over there and read Closed Set, and see for yourself what a real treat it can be when a fic is written by a collaboration that works.
