And Then He Rugby-Tackled Me!

Sorry, I must ask... Are you by any chance a fellow Italian? *bounce*

From:

eccome se sono italiana! *jump and high five follows*
I'm from Milan, what about you?

From:

Milano città? Io abito a Varedo, che è nei dintorni... Sembra così strano, finalmente una fan italiana, e così vicino! *bouncebouncebounce* Welcome!! :)

From:

Yess proprio Milano città, non che Varedo sia lontano, ho degli amici lì e in zona Monza quindi sono informatissima. Sono proprio contenta che ci sia un'italiana qui, ho provato a parlare di fanfic con qualche amica e ho ottenuto il ben noto effetto occhio a palla (se avevano un termometro sottomano probabilmente mi provavano la febbre)
ciao e se hai voglia mandami un email e raccontami di te, devo ancora esplorare bene i meccanismi di lj quindi per ora il mio posting non brillerà per efficienza
un abbraccio

So per esperienza cosa vuol dire, credimi... *sigh*

In ogni caso, il mio indirizzo è ressala @ tin.it --io e emails non andiamo molto d'accordo (comunicare tramite lj è molto più semplice! :) ) ma se ti va di fare due chiacchiere, sono più che a disposizione--e non vedo l'ora di leggere le tue fics! :D

Hiya and welcome.

Slash is also wonderful for relieving tension, and brings whole new levels to art (movie) appreciation. I'm with you on the Claimer *G*

Seeing as how I am not a native speaker myself I'll pass on the beta-job *S*
But I'm looking forward to seeing the results
*S*

absolutely right! Haven't been able to view the Fellowship (or read the trilogy at that) in the same spirit since I started reading slash. And to think that I did my graduation essay on Tolkien. ust think what I'd be able to add now..
thanks :)

Hey, there. I'm pretty good with grammar/spelling beta, though some people may think I'm a bit too picky on technical stuff. I won't be available to beta until the 18th of June, though. So, if you've got any fics after that date, feel free to send them to me at:

lamath2003@yahoo.com

From:

thanks!! I'm really a snail writer with a busy job and a very lazy attitude to weekend agendas, so I'm in no hurry. And beside the language checking I really want a brutally frank comment on my writing
ciao

Hmm... Well, I'm not too good with constructive crit, but I will tell you if any of the sentences don't flow well, etc. If you want comments on characterization, plot you might want to try someone else. I'm horrid at stuff like that. Sorry.

From:

Hello and welcome. Glad to have you around. I'd be willing to beta if you want. I'm going to be gone from June 15th to July 16th and August 1st to August 18th, but other than that I would be glad to help out. Once again, welcome!!!

From:

Wow, that's vacation with a capital V (if it's that kind of time off of course). I'll try to get the shortest of the 2 fics finished this weekend and I'd be delighted if you had a read cause I love the way you write.
tks
niki

From:

Oh yeah, it's a VACATION!!! And I am honored (and a bit shocked) that you not only know what I've written but like it as well. And after reading the other comments posted I have one thing I must beg for... a fic with some Italian in it.

milochka and I have a plan to try our hands at one when I get my Yankee butt back home this summer, but a year of study isn't anywhere near enough and I adore the language. (This also goes for <lj user="cinzia" if you're reading this.) But yeah, send your fics this way and I'll do what I can. Cheers!

From:

Why shocked? Believe me, reading yr fics was entirely my pleasure! I'll try to scrap my brain together to find a VigBean situation where the use of Italian's involved (beside food names, too cliché)though I'm no plot bunny queen, I started writing fics (and still have to deliver) to prove myself I could if I wanted.. Cinzia, any suggestion?

From:

Just shocked 'cause I'm new and I haven't written all that much (especially when compared to some of the people 'round here). I was watching part of the extra stuff about LOTR last night and I am just melting imagining Viggo speaking Italian with the voice of his. I have such a language fetish... And I loved trying to read what you and Cinzia were writing (good way to practice for my final!). Anyway, if a plot bunny bites me, I'll let you know. The only one I have is for a Sean/Orli one and I'm keeping it (even though it might work a bit better as Sean/Vig). But I can't wait to read your stuff.

From:

Sorry to butt in here, but have you heard the MP3's of Viggo reading his poetry in Spanish? *dies* If not, e-mail me and I'll send you links...

From:

Oh my goodness!!! Send it now!!! I might not be able to listen for a while (or even understand it when I do) but I just melt when he speaks. And I can just imagine in Spanish. Though I will write many fics for anyone who can find him speaking Italian for me!

From:

If only Mr Mortensen would deign to come to Italy... *sigh*
I know he's been here in the past, but apparently it was a long time ago. Believe me, you're not the only one who'd love to hear him speak Italian! *thinks about this* *dies*

Though I will write many fics for anyone who can find him speaking Italian for me!
Aaah! A bribe! :D

What about, um... well, he and Sean could marry and spend their honeymoon travelling through Italy... *ducks to avoid heavy objects thrown her way*

'Twas just a thought... *scutters off*

;)

From:

That is a total bribe!!! His voice just kills me. He makes English sound smooth. I can't imagine what he would do to a beautiful language like Italian. I wouldn't care if I couldn't understand a word. Just to hear it! *sighs*

And I don't think I will ever be writing Sean/Vig wedding fics (I don't give a damn what that quiz said). I mean, I'm all about them as a long term couple, but I just can't get my mind around married.

From:

do butt along! especially with something like that. I'll email you soon as I understand where to find the address, am afraid most of lj mechanics still elude me and need to do massive homework. i'm decently fluent in spanish and am already drooling at the idea
ciao

From:

Tks, you're a sweetie and I got your email. now there's a heatwave outside and a worse one inside. am fanning myself with tshirt. Viggo in Spanish is truly sinful and I love his accent, kinda South American more than Spanish
ciao

From:

Welcome

moldava! Looking forward to reading your fics and sharing the VigBean love.

I'd offer to beta, but right now I barely have enough time to write and edit my own stuff -- very sorry. :-(

From:

Thanks for the welcome and I certainly can sympathize with the time problem. My two fics-in-progress were the product of two nights of insomnia, which lately seems to be the only time off I'm getting. Your writing's more important cause I love reading it!
ciao
