I realized last night as I was whining to [livejournal.com profile] wojelah that my fic wasn't finished and I didn't know what to do - and she immediately started giving me time goals and helping me - that I really have the best writing support network ever.

I thanked everyone in my author notes, but I just need to do it again - cause they are very, very awesome.

[livejournal.com profile] smittywing stayed up until 2am helping me fix the story and make it better. She didn't just correct mistakes, but she explained them. She's also hilarious - which makes going though a story a lot more fun.

I was flailing a bit so I asked [livejournal.com profile] daisycm83 to give the fic a once over and even though Sam and Daniel being romantically involved makes her want to run for the hills, she did it for me, and made some excellent suggestions. She also suggested about 80,000 titles and gave final approval on the I picked.

[livejournal.com profile] wojelah knew I was on a time crunch and gave me check in points and encouragement. When I said "OMG I can't think of a way to write X!" She would respond with about 80 ways to fix it. (also, she put in tons of time on A Little Crazy)

[livejournal.com profile] omglawdork doesn't even watch SG-1 and she let me spam her with bits of the story (and also flails about The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars.)

[livejournal.com profile] thekatebeyond did not help with this particular story, but if I'm going to do a big post thanking my support network - she has to get a spot. She's the foundation of my network - my first beta. :-)

Awww. *hugs* Thanks for including me.

(Also, for some reason, the phrase "my first beta" makes me think of My Pretty Pony. I feel like I should have long pink hair.)

Of course you're included. :-) You were the FIRST.

(Long pink hair could be fun! MY and MO might think it's cool?)

MO would, actually. But I don't think I'm going pink any time soon. (Red maybe, but not pink.)

Aw! You're great to beta - you're always so calm and receptive and you totally give thought to what I say. I love helping add a little polish. *HUGS*

Yay! That is a good thing to know (that I'm a nice betaee). I always just start with the assumption everyone knows more than me so that helps. :-)
