"And the Joys We Share as We Tarry There..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Issue: I think I could start to write fic with a slightly higher rating. That is to say, most of my slash is v. fluffy and G-ish right now, but I think if I wanted to, I could do more with it.

Difficulty: Mum beta-reads all my fic. More than that, she expects to read my fic, because I've been showing it to her for ages. I have, I confess, hidden certain fics from her (such as the Courfeyrac/Combeferre/Feuilly menage a trois *g*) in the past, but she has a slightly unpleasant way of finding things I'd rather she didn't ("Synonyms"). And I would have to start actually attacking other people for beta-reading, which I am loath to do.

What shall I do?

I suppose in the long run there's nothing wrong with G-ish slash, but Other People would perhaps beg to differ, and I am sometimes frustrated at my limits, due to their being largely because of my worry over bothering Mum (sparklychibi will, perhaps, understand this).

Hm.

Meeble. Yes.

Mind you, though, she told me it was okay. Am now convinced that she only skimmed it, caught the sad and beautiful parts and missed the sex (how she managed this I don't know, but it's what I tell myself to keep myself sane).

mmebahorel's answer to this is eversomuch more eloquent than I could've put it, but I would like to add that, in case you really feel you want to raise your ratings, you can password-protect Microsoft Word files.

Oh, good! *hops* One can only hope. Argle. (>_>)

Really? Well, that is a useful thing to know.
