Boot. Camp! Boot. Camp!  Hehe. ;-)  I've had an Australian beta reader who
thought the job should be a 'blood sport'.  That your returned fic should
be covered in red to rival a horror flick.  Suffice it say, I didn't stick
with her for long. {g}  For me, it's a very slow learning process because
grammar isn't strictly about memorization; it's about adaptation.


Oh yeah, and that Harry/Percy script example posted to the group almost
made me curious about the pairing. :-)  I'm not much of a Potter/Weasley
gal.  Though...
