 |
|
Hi all,
Haven’t done this before on this archive but I could really do with some help on my current story. I’m looking for a beta for a story that’s for the LACE trim Challenge. It’s set during the Last Alliance and then runs a little into the beginning of the Third Age, and is an Elrond/Celebrian story mainly. It will be NC-17 I think and does contain quite a lot of violence, since it starts off with the siege of Barad-dûr and lots of nasty orcs and stuff.
I’m looking mainly for a plot-bouncy person [as I’ve seen it put on another post here  ], someone who can tell me if I’m boring the socks off everyone or what have you, and find any little plot knots that don’t make sense to a reader etc. Someone who wouldn’t mind being asked stupid, incessant questions about which plot twist would work better and so on.
I have the first chapter done and about to undergo a few brief revisions. This does look like it’s going to be quite a long story though.
If anyone is interested, please let me know…
Thanking you all in advance,

I've never betaed before and my grammar ain't so good (just ask Haleth and Andreth) but I have a some experience at plotbouncing. And anything Second Age NC-17 definitely has my interest.
However, it might take me a couple of days to get stuff back to you.
If those terms are acceptable then I volunteer. Just end it to the email in my profile

Terms sound ok  although maybe I should warn you that this is my first attempt at anything NC-17…so God knows what it may turn out like.
If you are still interested, what’s the best format to send it in? I work in MS Word 97, but I can convert stuff to plain text or just paste it into an email?
