I did the same for the author I'm beta reading for.

Glad to see you liked Ode to Bullshit. I think it's my opus. Even if people don't like my stories they all enjoyed Ode to Bullshit. :P

I like your stories. But Ode to Bullshit is pretty freaking awesome. :D

Thanks. So you've read more of my stuff? Here I was thinking Beta Reading was just another job for you.

I actually enjoy Beta reading. It lets me do what I usually do in my head and give it back to the authors to help them get better. But even besides that fact, I just really like reading. Usually after I finish a book, I'll get on the computer and read something unpublished by someone I like, just for the change of pace. I try not to think of it as just another job. Although, I do look forward to one day being able to charge people for it.

And as to reading your other stuff, I haven't read too much more. But what I've read, I've liked.

Hmm, lucky for me I got you while you're still free.


Great now I'm curious. Which ones did you read? there really isn't that much in my gallery.

I've read the beginning of the one you sent me to beta read (I'm working on it as I eat, actually.) and I've read the Hitler vs. LOLCats one.

Oh...that one. Whenever I read it again I don't know whether to be immensely proud or deeply embarassed.
