Greetings all,

I'm currently looking for a Beta for a story I'm working on centered around Eowyn. I usually write about Elves--particulary Legolas/Thranduil fics so this is my first foray into Rohan. (However I do have one story posted here -Dreamflower Book One: Lalaith and am thinking about a serious re-edit as I'm working on Book Two, so anyone willing to beta for that one would be most welcome as well.)

The purpose of my fic is to get into Eowyn's head in order to uncover the motivations that forced her into actions that I've always thought described best as suicidal. The fic has some very dark and angsty moments but also some levity.

A little about me and my writing style:

I'm a canon-fanatic. Even when I veer slightly to the AU I tend not to wander far and always circle back. I'm most familiar with Elves, so that's where my heart lies but I must admit to be thoroughly enjoying my vacation in Rohan.

Things I excel in:

Plot
Characterization particularly character voice and development (yes my folks ring true.)
Tolkienesque verbiage
Diaglogue
Descriptive Narrative

Things I suck at:

Grammer
Punctuation


I'm looking mostly for someone to help me with that at which I suck-obviously, but it would still be nice for someone to keep me on track--particulary when I get stuck.

I am looking for a beta who enjoys reading stories on the long-side. Who loves good characterization and stories that delve into the psyche and motivations more than action oriented tales.

I write mostly PG 13, lean a bit towards the romantic but only when it furthers the plot or serves to develop a character. In other words, I don't write gratuitous sex or NC-17-not that I have anything against those stories and have indulged in reading more than a few in the past, nor do I write Mary Sue's or 10th Walker's.


I prefer to work via email. Love cats, dogs, chocolate, tea and crumpets, long walks on the beach--sorry, getting a little off-topic there.

Anyone interested please let me know.


Many thanks,

Lessien
