Hey, squids and kids!

I just bought a new laptop! (Compaq, running Windows 7, basically the current version of the very first laptop I ever bought, only that was $999 and this was $400. Technology is great!)

So now I'm back in Windows (though still running Ubuntu on my very excellent desktop, but we've found it handy to have at least one Windows PC in the house, and I actually like Windows 7, so!) and I'm wondering, what's the cool LJ/DW client these days? Still Semagic?

Meanwhile, you can sync Chrome. This is exciting! It's like the future!

ALSO, UNRELATED (except to the extent that I'm about to start editing on this laptop) - does anyone want to beta my AU Big Bang? (Avatar, it's the AU where Zuko and Katara don't survive the battle with Azula, and then there's, like, 100 pages of angst and a little bit of plot.) weaverandom has been reading as I've written, but I think I'd like the opinion of someone whose first introduction to the story is through the final(ish) version.

There is a deadline - I'm pretty sure that the final drafts have to be submitted by 5 August, so that's a couple of weeks for reading, comments and my edits - and the fic is approximately 27,000 words, or 99 pages.

I am never quite sure if I'm doing it right when I beta for people, but I would be willing to give it a go -- anything in particular you wanted someone to read for? My grammar beta-ing is atrocious, not least because with fic I care more about what works with a character's voice than what's technically correct, but my flow and characterization-spotting skills are decent, I think.

Flow and characterisation are exactly what I need! Because there's a bunch of stuff that ... well, I was a bit out of my comfort zone with this fic, so it was a challenge.

I'll share the GoogleDoc file with you now. THANK YOU!

WAIT! What's your email address these days?
