anybody want to be my beta?

[ivyfic]

I've been attacked by a power rangers fic and it won't let me go. Yes, another one. And I did say power rangers. Man, I need to finish writing this thing so I can stop thinking about it and actually get work done.

Once it's finished, does anybody want to beta it? Preferably someone not utterly repulsed by the idea of short Japanese people in spandex overdubbed by English actors yelling, "Hiyah!!"?

>I mean, Jason always has been my favorite.

>>*LOL* You're a brave soul for admitting that.

And here I thought I was a brave soul for admitting I liked the power rangers.

At the moment my story is not slash, and has no pairings. It's slightly AU, as I am writing it as if Lord Zed were not a freakin' moron. I don't think I have Billy's speech down right... I'll have to go back over that. I guess I would classify the story as Action/Angst/ Hurt/Comfort. Or something. Right now it topped 3000 words, and I'd estimate I'm about a third done. Who knows how long it will actually end up being. The more I think about it, the more stuff I want to add.

While I'm at it, I have a few questions about canon you would probably have a better chance of knowing than I. 1 - When Tommy moved to Angel Grove, where did he move from? 2 - Do we know anything about any of the power rangers' parents or home lives? Especially Jason's?

Ah, some of us have been embarassing ourselves for years admitting that. not to mention all the trips to the toystore...and then trying to bribe your sister for use of the nephew just so you could go see Jason David Frank in person, only she wouldn't cooperate...

and then there are those of us who are embarassing ourselves still with the new Power Rangers spinoffs (looks meaningfully over at j_crew_guy).

*giggles*

Wow, that's pretty damn long.

1 - When Tommy moved to Angel Grove, where did he move from?

I don't think they said in that eppie, but mentioned it in a later eppie... so, I'm not sure I'll be able to find it in my eppies. I'll look if I can find the tape. Here, lemme dredge up a link for you...

*shuffle shuffle*

http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/EpisodeGuideSummary/showid-1905/season-1/ Here's an episode guide that might help you out, if I can't find the info.

2 - Do we know anything about any of the power rangers' parents or home lives? Especially Jason's?

Jason, I could't say. I know we get a lot of Kimberly, coz I think she was the one with divorced parents and had a thing with her dad... and we meet some of Zack's relatives. Again *points to the episode guide* and I'll see what I can come up with, if I can find the tapes. Jason doesnt' really stick in my head, coz... well, I think he was normal as far as the show goes. *grin* no divorce, no abuse, no poor family, no weird relatives... just plain ol' jock.

The now practically epic fic is done, and reasonably proofread. How should I send it to you?

[elekdragon.livejournal.com]

in .rtf or .txt form, attachment. I will return it in .rtf, with comments/suggestions/questions/corrections in bold and brackets. May take me a few days up to a week or two or three to get it done. depends on how long it is, and how much extra time I have to devote to it. elekdragon AT yahoo DOT com
