Need British beta
Hi there.
As I am finishing up the last bit on my fanfic I have some questions about British slang. I'm from upstate NY and while I have seen a lot of British television, I am sure I am not using the right slang terms. Is anyone interested in taking a look at my last couple of chapters to see if I got it right?

Hello there,
That post was not made by Emily. She must have been using my laptop to visit the site and I didn't realize I was logged in as her.
In any case that request for a beta is from me.

Thank you SH. I'll send you a PM? The two chapters are just finished so they are rough drafts. Would you like me to just include the phrases I am unsure of for slang or would you like to see them as a whole?

Re: Need British beta
I'm happy to proof read as well if you pm the phrases, or the whole thing.

Will the PM system handle 4,000 word messages. My chapters for this story are averaging that number of words.
I'm on my way home from work in a moment so I'll send them along later after a nap. (Night shift in the snow Urgh!)

Maybe the phrases you are unsure about then.
