Let's see now: I've grown into an old Phart without becoming a Smart One. I'm still addicted to and fascinated by all things Gatch-related in all their multifarious, bizarre and often illogical detail.

Yes, I will beta read -- if I'm given strict deadlines to adhere to (if you say anytime, you will never, ever see your work again) and by previous negotiation. I'm willing to consider most things. I don't consider grammar and spelling to be the most important things to a story: they matter, but it's not the be-all and end-all of fanfic writing. And besides, that's letting writers off easy...
