Oh, yes! Black and white tvs.... Rotary dial phones... Yes, it was FUN then.

I had an old Royal manual myself. I also had a reel to reel tape recorder. And now that I've dated myself thoroughly...

I managed to avoid learning how to touch type. I can still remember trying to drop that typewriter* out the window, muttering, "Fuck the lazy brown fox..." (*There were no PCs back then.)

I missed my number...Neko got it... ::sigh:: 27779

Sablesilverrain seems to have pulled all her stories save one from our site. I'm not showing any record of staff action. I wish I could tell you more, sorry!

You can delete the stories yourself via the control panel. Simply go to the archive where the stories are published, click "Delete" and then select the story title from the dropdown menu. The account itself needs to be deleted by our admin staff. Please email technicalsupport@adult-fanfiction.org with the archive pen name and the email address information, and our tech admin will be able to assist you. The email should come from the email address associated with the account, so that she can verify ownership of the account. Please allow at least 48 hours for her to get to that.

Could it be the Birdcage series by KoumoriNeko?

Every beta reader will work differently. Most will provide help with grammar and spelling, although you really should spell check your own work before submitting it to a beta reader. Beta readers are also generally familiar with the fandom as well, and can assist with questions about the canon setting and characters, as well as offer guidance about the direction of your story. So, to some extent, beta readers are like editors, with one distinction. Most beta readers are not professionals, while most people who can rightfully call themselves an editor are much more likely to be fully versed in the grammar, punctuation, and style requirements for a publisher, as opposed to a fan fiction archive. My recommendation to you is to look for a beta reader who is familiar with your fandom, read some samples of work they have beta'd, and discuss how you work and what your expectations are. A beta might have a real life situation come up which will delay them in working on your story. How flexible are you? Some beta readers will not take work that isn't at least spell checked and reasonably formatted. If you don't want to prescreen your work, you may lose out on the services of better beta readers who don't want to waste time performing spell checks for you. Do you want them to make changes for you, or just give you a nudge in the right direction? You should talk all this out beforehand, so there are no surprises.
