|

Hi I'm looking for a beta for my story "From Tragedy to Triumph" the first 4 chapters of which are already posted on here so if you want to have a quick skim over it to see what it's about, feel free. I'm basically writing Legolas a history because there isn't one (which is the one sentence summary) and it will be rated R at some point in the future for all sorts of reasons. This is not going to be a short term project judging by the speed I'm writing at and the sheer amount of time I want to cover.
I'm really pleased with the way it's going at the moment and I'm updating one long chapter about ever 3 or 4 weeks. I have a wonderful person helping creativly, Thuriniel, but the grammar side is totally beyond me and I could really so with some help. I'm not looking for anyone who can turn chapters over in 12 hours, because that would probably be impossible and an unfair thing to ask. My updates are so irregular anyway that a few days to a week or more is totally fine with me. Any creative criticism would also be welcome if you wanted.
Please help someone!

If you'd like, I can do a grammar check for you.
I promise anyone I beta for that I will not rewrite the story in my style. I will leave your voice alone. I won't swamp you with jargon or technical terms.
I will make changes needed to keep the narrative flowing smoothly. I will show you what to do. I won't touch the plot unless something totally OOC or illogical happens.
If this sounds OK, email me offlist & we can set up the details.
