I am definitely in need of a beta. Make that as many as I could get. I just never got around doing it. One of my resolutions this year happened to concern polishing my old fics and I would really be grateful to those who are willing to help me.

The fic in question is actually one already published and can be found here; http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=1112&chapter=1

Another is an unpublished raw material I wrote about two years back and scraped off again, rewrote it, then pushed it aside for 'later' which apparently has no end. It's about this lost young lady named Morfiwen who naturally falls for Legolas. Cheesy, and oh, she's mute.

I have a third in my hard drive which I had dug out from my old pc, written around the same time as the second one which is a Haldir/OC fic. The girl's name is Morfae (what was it with me and the letter M then?) and she was a warrior beyond compare. I deem it embarassingly teenage to publish, and I'll make that third and last.

So... *puppy eyes* pretty please?

I don't think I can help with that one: I'm not really up-to-speed on scriptwriting, which is a whole different can of worms than narrative prose. (Not to imply that your play is a can of worms!)Anybody around here know the high art of dramatic writing?

What does the script require? Is it a screenplay or a theatrical script? Humorous or no?

I once wrote a chapter that ended up being two three four AND five, I know what you mean, sometimes you just want to take a shoe to it and kill it. Shocked

It wasn't meant as a play, although written in the scriptwriting style.

Just testing the boundaries of poetry humour. Since it'd be confusing for me if I didn't label who's speaking at the time, I just so happened to draw the style from a former project of mine, scriptwriting.

I failed to continue the humour on Act 3 and Act 4...somehow it turned to a more serious note.

Basically, you see... Smash Smash Smash I was told that the first two acts are just fine, but I'm having trouble retaining the flow.

Help!!!

I've no idea how, what, where, when, argh... I'm basically stuck!
