Wanted: Beta reader, preferrably alive
posted in Uncategorized |
Would anybody be willing to read over/rip apart a short story? I finally finished my ficathon piece and as the deadline is today, I guess, not a minute too soon. I’m not entirely happy with it–I thought up the best ending for it last night when I was at a concert, and of course lost it before I could get home to write it down–but I don’t think it’s entirely horrible either. It’s shortish, five pages, so it wouldn’t take long.
Comment with your email address if you have some time today, and I’ll send it on. I prefer using Word with its editing tracking, but otherwise, I’m available on AIM or MSN (let me know your usernames) to discuss some of the changes.

I’m not awake enough to beta for you, but HI! 🙂
*glomps*
HI!!!! I’m so glad that you replied!
I had a dream about you the other day, a nice dream, where a guy that I knew (who’s a bit of a jerk), fell in love with you but then showed his jerky side and left and you were so unhappy. BUT, but, you got trapped in this parallel universe and he realized what he had lost and redeemed his jerky ways and found you and you were so happy and I woke up in such a good mood after that. 🙂
Just so you know. 😀
*HUGS*

I’m not in fandom per se, nor do I have any experience as a “beta”, but I did go through an awful lot of fiction workshops so I’ll take a stab if you like! Mail to valancy_s @livejournal.
I’m in the outskirts of fandom, myself, really, just signed up for the ficathon because I wanted to write again.
I really appreciate your help. I’ve emailed you, let me know if you didn’t get it.

I’m really sorry that took so long. Hope it wasn’t too late! (Don’t know what time zone you’re in…)
Thank you sooooo much, Valancy. Your edits were perfect and I really appreciated the comments to help me know where I was going wrong. I really appreciate your time and insight.
And btw, you have one of the prettiest names. I knew your first name, but the combination with your middle… beautiful. I commend your parents.
