Could someone spare the time to help me polish a fic?
Subject: A Very Proper Elf gains insight in some of the vices of mortals and learns a bit about himself in the process.
Book-verse, Gondor late 2nd age, some 5500 words. Has been through the mill at GoI, so shouldn't be in too bad shape. [Edit: Forgot to say: Mature-audience-only (due to some graphic language).]
Most of all, as an ESL I need help with the stilted, formal language of the Very Proper Elf. Second, due to a.o. much wonderful feedback, the story has taken a couple of unexpected turns on its way so a critical eye on the storyline and general progression of events, as well as on characterization, would be a great help.
Thank you!

Pffft. If it's the story I'm thinking it is, it don't need another set of eyes. It needs gushy fangirly reviews. Post it already!  |

lol - it IS that story. Thanks!
But seriously, I'd feel better to have someone take a good, hard look at it. I didn't ask you, Viv, because I know how incredibly busy you are atm, so decided to try my luck here. |
