 |

I have no idea how I missed this beta-site in the index but well, duh, is all I can say.
I have written 4 chapters of a story based on Earnil 2 the 30th king of Gondor and prior to being king, the captain of the Southern army during the wainrider attacks on southern Ithilien. My geography of the area is lacking and I have not found much info on who he married. Just that he has a son.
My story is canon-based but I don't have the HOME series so I am going off info from encyclopedia of Arda and council of Elrond.
It is a story about, well, that would be giving it away wouldn't it. However, it is going to be rated R for violence and romance (not dripping with it though). Mostly a sorta- sueish female OFC and one angry, terrified king. Oh yeah and some really nasty wainriders who may be the reason for the angry king.
However, I just need someone to make sure I am being good with my grammar and not losing the tempo.
It woul be helpful if someone could tell me if this story has had a cousin somewhere, wouldn't want to seem like I am using someone elses material, OC names, plots or well who writes a story about Earnil anyway. I am just worried about my characters' names mostly.
Well, pretty please, anyone interested in making sure I don't embarass myself and my college education? Thanks Ilistine |

I am not an expert beta, but searching for and fixing grammatical errors is a sort of hobby of mine. I'd be happy to assist if you're looking for that sort of help. Drop me a PM if you'd like.  |

Now Mora, no not chopped liver and you know it! I did not know there was a beta link and posted my need for a beta on another link. The next day I found this one here and reposted my request. By then Anna had already responded to my other post. So, well I hear you saying it loud and clear
"You are Daft Ilistine"!!! 
Miss you! Hope the move is going smooth. Since our fantastic beta has been working so hard, Chapter 1 is ready for your input now. Then I need some violence added to the cave scene  , and I know you are gonna have some good thoughts on that for me.
Looking forward to chatting soon.
Christine
