 |
|
I'm in need of a beta for 'Sun and Shadow' and 'What Comfort You May Find'. Anyone willing to take them on? I would like spelling and grammar, sentence structure, and character consistancy help, please.
Thanks in advance to any brave soul willing to do this! |

Can you contact me off-forum and give me a bit more detail? I'd be willing but it depends on a few things, like estimated size of WIPs and who the characters are. Can't help you with characterization if I'm not very familiar with them. 
do.

Whichever one Do doesn't want, I'd be willing to read. Based on the quality of work you've already posted, I'm sure it would be entertaining
One thing, though: I tend to focus a lot on grammar, sentence structure, pacing, paragraph-to-paragraph and scene-to-scene transitions, and those kinds of small-picture things. Every once in a while, I'll notice when a story is lagging overall, but by and large, I don't have a very good grasp of big-picture story movement (this is something I'm working on as a writer and an editor, alas). So if that's something you're interested in, I may not be the beta for you. |

Actually, it might be a good idea for me to ask both of you. I do need the things you mentioned, Viv, plus some canon help as I KNOW I've made a few blunders there although I think I can fix them with a bit of clever re-writing. The stories I'm wanting help with are my Thranduil-centered fics. One detailing the meeting and courtship with his wife and the other detailing her death and the aftermath of it. The characters are Thranduil, my OFC Valilis, Elrond, Celeborn, Galadriel, Celebrian, Mithrandir, the twins, Arwen eventually Legolas as an infant, and several OCs. I do have the first few chapters of each posted in the archives but I want to re-post after they have been beta'd. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give.  |
