How many birthdays is that now?

The odd thing that happened yesterday. by Mikelus on 2014-03-02 20:13:00 UTC Reply

So I somehow turned 20 yesterday. No idea how I made it this far, but I did.

I would have posted this yesterday, but I was away at Universal studios for the first time.

Nice to see you again. by Hieronymus Graubart on 2014-03-03 15:49:00 UTC Reply

I wondered whether I scared you away. This was not my intention.

You didn't. by LightDarkPheonix on 2014-03-03 17:00:00 UTC Reply

I've just had a huge amount of stuff going on in RL. I didn't even know you'd posted there. I'm making my fic private again, and I'm glad for your offer to beta.

Okay, IÂ’m expecting your e-mail then. by Hieronymus Graubart on 2014-03-05 08:36:00 UTC Reply

To make this happen, you should be aware that I don’t have a google account, and everything I know about Gdocs I learned while beta reading for another boarder.

So would I send it as a gdoc or a normal doc? (nm) by LightDarkPheonix on 2014-03-05 12:13:00 UTC Reply

There are two ways to do this: by Hieronymus Graubart on 2014-03-07 21:07:00 UTC Reply

Either you attach a normal doc (.doc, .docx, .rtf) to your e-mail, and we communicate by e-mail.

Or you include only a link to a gdoc into your e-mail. Obviously this gdoc cannot be private, because I wouldn’t see it, but it may be hidden by the fact that only you and I know where it is. Apparently it is possible to enable commenting for everybody who has the link to the gdoc (but I don’t know exactly how the gdoc’s owner does this). In this case, I wouldn’t need to quote parts of the document to point you to where my comment belongs; I could highlight a word in the gdoc and attach a comment to it. That’s what I did when I beta read for the first time.

There may also be options to limit access to a gdoc to specific persons who need to login, but this wouldn’t work for me, because I don’t intend to create an account. So, if you want to share your gdoc with me, you may want to copy it to get a new, secret link, and avoid getting comments from all over the board. (Or, since nobody ever looks at the second page of the board, the link published in the original thread may not be a big issue anymore.)

Have some Schrodinger's Cookies (may or may not contain chocolate) and a sparklewood stake - perfect for those Sue vampires.

It's a little late, but here have a silver goblet that fills up with your favorite drink.
How was Universal Studios? I love that place.
Happy Belated Birthday!

It was rather fun. I had to say the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was the best of it.

I used all of my packing peanuts on Phobos, so, instead, *showers Mikelus with dry spaghetti*

Have a lovely year!

In honor of your turning 20, here, have a Delibird! It loves giving away presents--just beware that said presents have an 80% chance of exploding.

There's you, and Phobos, and World-Jumper in this month alone. Ye gods, that's odd.

Anyway, happy birthday! Have some pie! And some... muahaha... cupcakes. They have rainbow frosting.

Congratulations! (On both counts). /hands birthday hat/ /hands candy and bleeproducts/ /hands gifts/ /sets off confetti and fireworks/ PARTY TIME!

Congrats :) And welcome to the second decade club. (Of course we have one. What do you mean, we haven't been meeting lately? Our meetings are just so secret that no one remembers anything but the pizza.)
