 |
|
I am currently working on a Middle Earth talk show. The LOTR characters will vary from show to show and the topics will always be different. I was wondering if anyone would want to be a beta reader for me. Some of the fanfics will be in script form though. (Really in need of a beta reader  )

Looks like no one is willing to beta read for you. I'll continue to beta your submission for you until you find a beta reader. If you don't find one i'll just have to do it completely then, i guess.
SOMEONE PLEASE BETA READ FOR HER PLEASE

Okay! I will,  if you don't mind. I'd be happy to help and can just read for grammar or for more stylistic stuff, characterization etc. if you want. G'head and send your story when you're ready either here by PM or to my addy: graceomyheart@yahoo.com. I'll look forward to reading it.
I wouldn't be able to look at it until Thursday but should have plenty of time after tonight (Gotta date!  ). |

I'm getting a little concerned here that the newbies aren't bothering with reading our submission guidelines...
LegolasLover, do us all a favour and check if this archive is suited for this fic you're talking about.

do.

Thank you Nancy 
The guests on the talk are being asked questions like how has life been since the ring was destroyed? Is that ok for the submission or should I start on a new idea? |

I'd avoid that one, LL, if I were you.
Banned items include:
| Quote: | | Chat Room Fanfics - These aren't stories with a clear narrative and are better suited for archiving at Fan Fiction Net. |
There are plenty of places for fanfic on the Internet; at this stage OSA is starting small and is not lookng at question & answer type stories (amongst others).
Once you've posted a few stories and/or got known in the fanfic land, then you'll understand more what people like and where to post your stories. But for now, please read the guidelines before going to the tremendous effort of writing the story for the challenge on OSA.
You've joined the community - you're doing the right thing by trying to attack the challenges (and good luck!), you've arranged a Beta reader (thanks) so you're going about it the right way.
It takes dolarabee and Scribe about 2 days to try to cook up e-mails to send to authors who breach the rules - and it is something they hate having to do. They don't want to knock the authors, but aim to be helpful. Even so, receiving a knock back can be hurtful. So it's best to avoid being knocked back by just not reading the type of story that OSA is about.
Good luck with the challenge, though.
