 |
|
Have you ever written something and thought that it wasn't half bad only to reread it six months later and wonder what sort of drugs had been slipped into your coffee? 
I need a beta reader for part of a chapter for an overly long fic. Fortunately, you don't need to read the entire thing to help with this particular passage. Unfortunately, the thing is a complete and utter mess.
The grammar and spelling have been checked. It's the overall construction and flow of the piece that is the problem.
Constructive criticism to the point of tearing to shreds is needed here.
Anyone brave and/or crazy enough to volunteer?

*Waves frantically* Pick me! Pick me! 
Currently I'm quite useless... might as well be productive.
