I don't suppose there's anyone out there that could beta-read an "A Knight's Tale" fanfiction? One that is *not* slash, mind you?

How sad is it that the only A Knight's Tale fiction archive I could find on the net is slash? I don't mind slash - hell, I read slash, I enjoy slash, good slash in both cases of course, I spent a great part of the day today hesitating between trying myself at some Sparrington or doing that Kate/Wat I finalled settled on doing - I just find it sad that there seems to be nowhere where I can archive this fic of mine when I'm finished, let alone *read* other fics of the same kind. I will however sort through those slash fics, and hopefully find something that is worth reading.

Hell, if one of the cut scenes had not shown Chaucer to be 1) married, and 2) very happily so, I would have slashed him myself, though in an "unrequited love" way, and thus a "not getting any" way, or at least not with the one he so dearly wished to get it on with. Might still do it one of these days, I'd need to give it more thought. I just love the character so, hard to write though he might turn out to be. (And I apologise in advance to fans of the *actual* Chaucer out there. I don't know anything about the real man (does *any*one?), apart from having read the Wife of Bath's Tale, and I'm all with the character here. Just blame it on Paul Bettany. Guy's too good not to make me obsessed.)

Anyway, to come back to my point: again, I don't suppose there's anyone out there that could beta-read an "A Knight's Tale" fanfiction? I'm beginning to fear I'm the only one fascinated with those characters in a non "let's slash them" way. Wat and Kate were just begging to be written about! I'm only sad I could not write Edward in - Chaucer and Germaine each had their cameo, but writing him in would have been pointless and simply for the sake of it, so I refrained (note to self: one more reason to write that Chaucer fic).

If anyone is, I'd be quite grateful. This fic might all turn out to be one huge piece of shite, and I'd rather I was told that much than I went ahead and published it without having a clue.

Anyway, I'm off to write the third and last part.

Have had the time to cool down from learning that the first French gay marriage has been cancelled. Am now eagerly awaiting what is coming up next. My claddagh is gonna get fixed, it's just weird not to wear it now. I always feel like I lost it, before remembering it's not on my finger on purpose. Need to phone the Iceland Consulate tomorrow to figure out whether I can get into their country with my so-very-recently-expired passport, since I lost my ID card and cannot get another one made in time.

On the plus side, it seems that many more people than last year will be able to make it to our birthday party this year. Yay!

Had a drink with Elodie this afternoon; we stumbled across a friend from university (Marie-Clémence, who says hi, Jo!) and had her and her friend (Audrey, remember her from the Fete de la Musique?) sit down with us. It was all manners of nice. We stopped by the Fnac and I yet again had a crush on a cheap DVD (after preventing myself from buying the Richard III with Sir Ian McKellen), Nick of Time with Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken and Roma Maffia. I do not have a clue whether the film is good, but with such a cast, how could i pass up on it? Again, it was cheap.

Now, am hesitating between watching that, or the commentary to A Knight's Tale. I think I'll flick a coin over it.

On a sidenote, if there is one thing I did not miss about being at home, it is arguing with my sister.
