Lars_B spurred some delightful creativity on a recent Disqus page, on expressions that would be no-nos in the Known World due to changing contexts.

Lars_B
"Grow a spine"
"He is so spineless"
"Show some backbone"

Linz 
"Two heads are better than one"
"With time they grew together"
"You need group therapy"
"We are all in this together"
"It is time for a melding of minds"

Euodiachloris 
"Put your back into it."
"Keep your eyes peeled."
"I'm all over this like a rash."
"So tired I could lie down and die."

corncobman 
Other things no-one says:

"Give him a hand"
"I'm all thumbs"
"Two-faced"
"Two left feet"
"Nappy [diaper] rash"

Auleliel 
"lend me your ears" or "I'm all ears"
"I've got your back"

Blackfrost 
"Eat your heart out."

corncobman 
"Get together"
"Let's join up"
"What crawled up your ass?"
"Let's stick together"
"I don't believe in trolls"

Celidah 
"And the two shall become one flesh"
"You're such a troll."
"Stop trolling!"
"He's a giant in his field of experience."


Ceceoh 
"Group hug!"
"Let's hang out."
"I've got you under my skin."
"Don't be rash!"

Edmund 
And nobody gets away by the skin of their teeth anymore, either.

Looking for a Beta reader.
« Reply #112 on: February 06, 2015, 11:15:35 PM »
Not sure if this would be the right place to ask. . .anyway . . .

Okay, I am looking for a beta reader for a story I'm writing. It is a SSSS fan fiction, and I would love someone, or someones, who is apart of the fandom to bounce ideas off, and to check over my writing to make sure it makes sense. I haven't gotten really far into writing it yet because I'm having issues with introducing an outside character into the world and then to the crew.

The fanfic is centered around language barriers, as I am using an OC of mine who only speaks English. How does he get there? Magic, no seriously, with the reemergence of magic in the world it allowed small rifts to be opened between different words and my OC, having bad luck, stumbles through one of these rifts. He has no way home, and will have to learn to live in this world. For simplicity's sake I have remodeled the character's abilities, but he's still an able magic using Ranger. There won't be any romance. Just a focus on character interaction, especially nonverbal and the like.

What I would like in a Beta Reader;
>someone who is friendly and doesn't mind being asked dozens of questions, often in rapid fire,
>that doesn't mind reading sometimes dense or strangely worded passages,
>that is reachable at lest once every few days, once a day would be awesome, but I understand everyone has a life outside the Internet,
>that can keep me encouraged to continue writing, even when I want to give up,
>I would love someone with knowledge of the Nordic languages as I have very little, as I would like to ask about wording/common words the crew would be saying.

If interested pm me or leave a message here. Thanks in advance.

I'd be up for it! :) I've been learning Swedish for a few months now and I've done a few stories with multiple languages. I'm also pretty good at editing if I do say so myself.

Awesome. I'm going to use Drive, as I have had great success with sharing with it.

Hmm, just wondering whether we could use this as a sort of official beta-reading thread for fan-fics?

Why not just use the scriptorium, wasn't it created for these things anyways?
