Hi. My name is Jade and I'm addicted to betaing. Right now I'm listed as inactive, but please feel free to PM or email me anyway for anything from a quick opinion to a full-on beta. I'm generally busy, but if I reach a lull in life (one can hope, right?) or if the fic is short enough, I'd love to look it over.

Other than that, I frequently experience writer's block, and I firmly believe that forcing myself to write results in crappy work. I have done it if I feel that I'm permanently losing momentum, but I don't like it. So I want to assure you that if I promise to finish something, I will finish it, but it may take a while. I try to keep the in progress list fairly up to date, since I know that waiting for updates without a schedule is frustrating. Please bear with me.

Also, if you think I'd enjoy a particular fic (especially your own), want reccs, or are just bored and want to chat, feel free to PM me. I love making internet-friends and exchanging ideas.

One last thing. I want to shamelessly pimp a fic I beta: Best Days by Adi1 (Naruto fandom). It's an interesting idea and is written with a very wry sense of humor.

So look around, say hi, and I hope you enjoy my stuff.

UPDATE 8/8/11

I am starting medical school today. They told me Tuesday, which is why this hasn't gone up sooner. But I'm afraid it means that all my stuff will go unfinished, so what I will do is post everything I have and write a synopsis for what I haven't done yet. A promise is a promise, and I promised that I will finish True Love, so by God, you will at least know how it ends. Don't you just hate when authors drop stories?

Update: 3/16/12

My email has been hacked and I no longer have access to it. Please believe me when I say I'm not being rude by not replying to your review. I'd love your comments (especially your criticisms), and I will get back to you, I just need to find a new way to do so. (Addendum: technology is my nemisis)

In Progress (3/16/12):

1. True Love-- Ch 10 (final chapter) finished, epilogue written aside from some canon research I have to do. This is a bit complicated. After finding out that I had gotten into medical school, I intended to skip my original chapter 8 and 9, finished chapter 10 and the epilogue, and end the story. I am TECHNICALLY all set to post the final chapter and epilogue, but leaving out two chapters is really not sitting well with me, so more waiting! Update: Ch 9 also finished, unbetaed. Ch 8 half written.

2. Seven Deadly Sins--Greed being planned (Also, fun fact: the porn chapter has far more hits than either of the others. Oh, Internet. You're so silly.)

3. Other things--One ficlet starring Gai so far. Written, but not yet on my computer; A series of ficlets about the defining moments of Sakura's life, from other people's POVs (Ch. 1 and 2 complete, chapter 3 in the works)

4. Maybe something cyberpunk-y? Team 7 as police in a futuristic mafia-controlled world (akin to the anime Metropolis). The plot as it stands needs major revamping.

5. Messing around with the idea of a Naruto cross-over. Nothing concrete yet. Any requests?
