Video (Locked to Friends/Family of Killian and Ariel)

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

So, I thought, with a certain pair having run off on their little jaunt to Vegas, I'd surprise them with a gift when they got back. Nothing much, just a drabble or two of friend-fiction.

But I could use some beta readers. Any volunteers?

Oh, dear.

You know it's Ariel's birthday on the first?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

All the better timing, then!

[espigeonage]

If she hurts herself blushing, I'm entirely innocent.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

You know, I've never seen anyone do that before. Now I sort of want to.

[espigeonage]

When you blush hard enough it kind of hurts! Well, general 'you'. You might flush, but it's not quite the same.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Is it smut about the two of them?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Well, not all of it. There has to be a plot in there, too.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

It's kinda weird and creepy to read smut about him and Ariel. They're both related to me and Killian's kinda like a brother.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

And that's why I need feedback! From someone who really knows them. You understand, right? Wouldn't want them out-of-character!

...I don't think he wants to know. =/

What the hell is friend-fiction?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

What do you think it is? It's like fanfiction, except you write it about your friends. Don't worry your pretty head, they're in good hands. I'm a professional.

[arrowpoint]

Okay, why would you want to do that? You actually get to hang out with them. In real life, you know? You don't need to write pretend stuff.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I think you misunderstand the meaning of a gift. Real life has all these unfortunate inconveniences. Friend-fiction allows you to make a lovely little fantasy for them to indulge in. It's just for fun, sweet thing.

[Gabriel is rather confused and also looking a little younger than he did when he hosted her at his flat when everyone came round.]

It's like you're speaking a foreign language. 'Drabble or friend-fiction'? 'Beta readers'? I'm sure whatever it is they'll love it, but I can't help unless I know how to!

No worries! ♥

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Oh, sweetness. You know I write professionally, right? Published author and all that? All I'm wanting to do is use my talents to make a lovely little personalized gift for our friends. But, no good writer just whips something up and presents a rough draft. Other people need to read it too and make sure everything works. That's all I'm asking for.

[thebalrogslayer]

No one had bothered to tell me that, no. What kind of novels? I shall have to go look them up. [He's smiling, earnest. A new book or two won't kill him, and he is interested.]

Well, in that case you can count me in if you don't have enough help already.

Dude, you have no idea what you just signed up for. LOL

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Oh, I write romance novels, but under a different name: Naishe Rivera.

Glad to have you board with the project, sweetness. How do you prefer I get them to you?

[siesinddasessen]

Are you taking suggestions, too?

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Maybe. If they're good ones. You have a few?

[siesinddasessen]

I might, once I've seen what you're planning on.

Consider me your beta.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

I knew I liked you for a reason. What do you prefer? Should I just email it to you? Or do you prefer something else?

[proudbraveandtall]

You did what?

'S ok.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Wrote a story or two.

Yay~

[proudbraveandtall]

What kind of story?

Re: Yay~

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Romance, naturally. I'm a professional. It's what I do.
