I've sorta had an inspiration, and I've been writing quite alot, and I think I'm overloading my beta.

I tried getting my husband to read it, but I'd really like someone to read it who has more than a two word vocabulary.

I basically need spell check and grammer check. I would really like to get someone who is strong on cannon because I'm trying to stick as close to the books as possible.

Just generally if you could tell me if what I'm writing is worth wasting my time on, or if it sucks so bad, i should just give up.

Thanks.

Have you tried the Beta Pool to see what kind of beta's are offering their services? Contact one of them and you might find a match there.

It would also help if you said what kind of story you are writing, there are canon beta readers (including me), but each have their own 'specialty'.

Just a suggestion. Smile

Oops! Guess I left that part out. Well, it's an elf fic, but not about any of the main characters. The story line follows the trilogy, but my characters are not part of the fellowship or anything like that. It's basically about the "other" battles during the time of the War of the Ring. (Battle in Mirkwood, Battle in Dale)

It has alot about elves, but also about dwarves. That's basically it.

I'll check the beta pool as well. Thank you.

Hey erinae,
I will beta, if you'd like. Or couldn't find someone to already.

I appreciate the offer. I have someone to beta right now, but I'll let you know if she gets sick of me or if (by some strange chance) I ever happen to get an idea for another story!

Thanks again. Very Happy
