Sorry I'm late - I managed to come down with a cold yesterday, and in my busy-ness of sulking at it, everything just slipped my mind... I'm hoping that better late than never might apply here...

As far as I know, Rozel is interested in general comments and any kind of constructive criticism for the story. For those who've not played before, the idea is that Beta Central is a way of gathering all kinds of constructive editorial comments on a story, that might help make it better (obviously that's going to be subjective, and the final version may or may not take the suggestions into account - that's all up to the author). It's always useful to have another eye read a story for wee things we might have missed - a missing comma or mis-placed full-stop, sentences that read strangely, sentences that read brilliantly and we'd like more of, twists that might make something more realistic, or fantastical, or fascinating or homely... any comments at all are welcome! Our collective Beta Central has been beautifully and gently constructively critical in the past, so I'm sure it'll all go swimmingly this time too...

The story is beneath the cut - what do you think?!

I feel slightly embarrassed at offering this review of Slippery When Wet by Rozel because I beta’d this for her. However, my input to her stories is minimal and on this occasion superficial. It is a beautiful story, though, and one which I don’t think should be lost in the wonderful, but now very large, Archive of Our Own.

As with many of Rozel’s fiction, this is set slightly outside of the CI5 arena. The boys are still CI5 agents and completely recognisable as such, but the setting does not involve a plot, but the everyday lives of two secret service agents.

Quite simply, the partners get more than they bargained for when helping out Doyle's niece when she has to produce photographic work for the final part of her course and to complete her portfolio. The final paragraph will send you off with the most wonderful visions ... this is merely a taster!

The image showed Doyle, still half clothed, leaning against a lamppost, hips canted forward, knee bent and one bare foot resting on the base of the post. Again the water showered down on him, small rivulets running down his body His head was thrown back and his eyes were closed. The expression on his face was that of a man embracing the sensual feel of the water as it caressed his naked skin. (this paragraph is supposed to be in italics!)

Rozel is able to paint the most wonderful pictures with her words and has the boys down to a T. I love her work. (Hopefully, she’s blushing now!!)
