✍ do you have a beta reader and 💋 first kiss fics. Love em or hate em?

✍ Do you have a beta reader?

I do! Silvia ( @morbidlizard ) is my beta reader, my RP/roleplay buddy, and a damn fine artist, and also one of my closest friends, we've known each other for many years now and despite living at opposite ends of the earth (she's in Italy, I'm in Western Australia), we got to meet a few years ago, before the great panini.

Depending on how hard life is, Silvia can't always get to chapters before they're posted, and in those cases I edit along in the AO3 file instead once she's seen them. But that's only been during some truly rough years and hasn't been the case for a while! :D Together we don't always catch everything, I produce a truly huge amount of work each year for any one person to voluntarily deal with (I have offered to pay Silvia many times and she has refused every time), so sometimes typos slip by us. But any errors in my writing are always mine, and never hers.

💋 First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?

If it's a fic just about a first kiss, I think that's personally a little boring.

But I write first kisses a fair bit in longer fics that also have a lot of other things in them. I'm just not sure if they count. I've never even heard of 'first kiss fics' before. I'm usually looking for 'first fuck' fics, lmao. I'm wondering if I just auto-scroll past them if I see a T rating dsalkfjdsa
