 |

Hello all,
I am looking for a beta for my first LOTR story, called Ties That Bind, that I wrote back in 2005. It features Legolas, Thranduil, Haldir, Orophin, Rumil, Elladan, Elrohir and others that will be mentioned later. I did have a beta that I was working with, but I haven't gotten much feedback due to her busy schedule, which I understand tremendously.
The requirements of a Beta is:
You must be an expert in middle earth events, and Tolkien's world as well as time travel.
Must have experience in grammar and spelling, and sentence structures and also elvish.
Must have good judgement when finding conflicting or confusing elements in story.
Must be honest and truthful in your opinion about the plots. Don't just tell me what I want to hear, tell me where I need to improve.
Be respectful of my final decisions. Don't get offended if I decide not to use your ideas, but instead use my own.
Must be able to keep characters' personalities, appearances, attitude, etc., in line. For example, since Legolas is the prince of Mirkwood his appearance should reflect his status, such as he had a noble look, he held his head high, or he looked down his nose at the woman before him. Those are examples of what I am looking for from my beta to implement into the story.
Must be available to commit at least 2 hours once a week to beta'ing.
And must be able to communicate with me at least 2 times a week.
Any ideas that my beta would like to contribute to the story is welcomed.
I have written up to chapter 4 of this story. The first 3 chapters, are already beta'd so I would need a beta for chapter 4 and on, but nevertheless I would like for the beta to read the first 4 chapters so that he or she can get a feel of how the story goes. If you are interested, please reply and I will send you the first 4 chapters offlist.
Thank you in advance,
Lynn |
