If, HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, I were MAYBE writing a short fic about Jake and Nog working out the complexities of a human-Ferengi relationship (rated, at this point, PG-13, but with lots of discussion of alien kinks and cultural assimilation), would anyone be interested in betaing it?

Before you say yes you should probably be aware that its working title is "tube grub fic." /o\

Yes!

[epershand]

Hurrah! It's still pretty nacent--I'll reach out to you when it's ready for a set of eyes other than mine.

[epershand]

Ok, so questions: first, are you a vegetarian? I am definitely going to need to get some meat-eater feedback on the food descriptions.

Second, do you happen to know the name of the S2 episode where Jake and Nog have the awkward double date? I suspect that I need to rewatch it for this story.

[sasha_feather]

1) I'm not a vegetarian.

2) Nope! While I watch random eps, I haven't done a rewatch in a long time, so I'm rusty on some plot details.

[allchildren]

Also yes!

[epershand]

Hurrah! Don't suppose you happen to be an omnivore? I'm going to need a non-vegetarian to look over some of my food descriptions for a "is this actually appealing?" review because I am mostly like D: D: D: DEAD ANIMALS WHY and it is supposed to be about getting over disliking food.

(Also I am trying and failing to find the S2 episode where J & N have the awkward double date... do you happen to know which one it is?)

[allchildren]

Alas, I am also veg. However! I believe that episode is S3's Life Support.

[epershand]

YES. I knew it was a Kira episode! I was convinced it was "Second Skin" but that turned out to be false. Thanks!

(omfg I hate the Bareil plot of that episode. FUCK YOU RON D. MOORE. FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUU)

[epershand]

Aaaarrgh yeah. I especially like how Ron Moore totally didn't turn around and rip it off for Anders in s4 of BSG. #ohwait

Man, maybe I don't want to rewatch that episode--the Jake and Nog parts are basically all embarrassment squick all the time and the Bareil parts are all rage all the time. But part of the point of this fic is facing up to the embarrassment squick factor and overcoming it, so I probably should...

Hahahah omg! I'm a little busy this and next week so I'm afraid to say "yes" to beta-ing, but I would LOVE to read this when it's finished!

[epershand]

Hurrah! Don't know what the timeline is going to be, but yes! I am excited.

Don't suppose you know which is the season 2 episode where Jake and Nog have the awkward double date and don't talk again until Odo arrests them for being failboats? I am trying to find it and failing, and the fic is in conversation with it, so I should probably watch it at some point...

Erm. Yes?

[ungelic_is_us]

I haven't done much beta-ing since college, but I am omnivorous and would be willing to help with food descriptions, if you would like my help.

Re: Erm. Yes?

[epershand]

Oooooh, you are pretty much my ideal food-writing beta. This makes me happy.

Re: Erm. Yes?

[ungelic_is_us]

If I'm going to be someone's ideal, I suppose that would be it. Not a bad ideal to be, in my opinion.

[prismakaos]

OMG, it's a fanfic universe that I'd actually be able to understand!

Sure, I'd be happy to read it.
