Sadly, I'm not about begging:

Dear Friendslist:

I need a favor. A kind of really, really huge favor that I can't pay for with anything other than my eternal gratitude and things like icons or graphics or perhaps fic if I ever feel like writing ever again.

You see: I am handing in my thesis on monday the 17th of November. And my advisor wants me to "elevate" my language, and I don't know how to do it anymore than I already have. Normally I would have asked one of my friends here, but all the people I go to school with who would be the only people who could help are writing their own theses, except Stine, who is grading 25 English papers at the moment.

Basically, I need a thesis-beta.

Grammar and lexicon - he wants me to sound 'more academic'. The final product will be around 65 (maybe longer. But it's doubtful) pages (2000 characters + spaces per page) And yeah. Please. Please, please, please. Help. Even if you think you can help me out with ten pages or five, I would be so, so grateful, I can't even explain it.

So yes. Please. And thank you.

I'm not so much on academic language, but if you can wait until after the coming weekend, I can see if one of my parents (both w/ post-grad degrees) would be interested in looking over a bit of it?

I have a big ass project this weekend that the whole family is kind of involved with, but after that we should all have some free time. :)

I don't know when you need this by, but I am reclining in the pastoral enclave of Tennessee, and, while I must attend to imaginary perambulations and documentation thereof to garner my meager wages, I'd be pleased to assist you in my otherwise unallotted time.

That is, I'll do it (or at least part of it), babycakes! *mwah*

What the Hell, I'll give it a shot if you like. Free time's a bit random at the moment, but I'll commit to a couple of chapters/30 pages-ish, then more if there's time. My academic language-ness (note: not an actual example of a word I'd use in an academic document *g*) tends toward physics, but hopefully it'll do.

I would offer but I have soooo much work. Sounds like you have some fabu help though.
