Um, hello. *waves*
I'm usually a lurker, but thought I'd come out of lurkdom to introduce myself a bit and say I'm really enjoying all the fics here. I was just recently converted to the awesomeness that is Lorne and I'm so glad to have found this community and all the wonderful stories. :D
Part of my reason for delurking is to ask (and hope I'm not breaking any rules, but since it says in the com info that introducing oneself is ok, I thought it might be ok to ask while introducing myself) if there is some place specific I could ask for a beta, or if someone here might want to? A couple of the challenges for this month caught my eye, and I figure having a beta would improve my first attempt.
ETA: Does anyone know the time frame for Coup d'Etat? I'm wondering specifically how long Lorne and his men were missing. I watched the ep several times but haven't quite been able to figure it out.

Second, good question on beta's... I have seen other comms or groups frown on asking for beta help...NOT here. If it’s for any Lorne fic I seriously have no problem & will add that within the rules so other new comers will know ;-)
Third, like everyone mention in canon I don’t think it was long within a weeks time, but if your bunny wanted Lorne & his men to be held longer? I say go for it… you have the power & let your muse guide you ;-) Just add a note in the header to the readers that you’re going to deviate from the episode canon timeframe & most important have FUN!

Good to know that it was ok to ask for a beta, thanks.
Yup, my bunny is bouncing around me saying it needs longer than a day or two, especially since Radim said something like 'we've been taking samples for some time now' to Sheppard and then the scene cut to show Lorne and his men. *shrugs* I'll put a note in the header like you say if I get this thing written, which I really want to do.
*is very grateful for the advice because total noob at fic writing*
