I need a beta too!
Really though I do need a second beta just in case the first beta can not do it. Any kind of help to help me make my story look a little better would be appreciated greatly. I have been a member and fan of this site for a couple of years now. I love reading just about all the stories here(and I haven't even got to the halfway mark yet!). But anyone who can help will be appreciated. Tell me truthfully, or suggest what I need to do to fix it(before I post it) or whatever is usefull. Don't worry about changing it I do put mine on disks to save it. Thanks in Advance. Maria

Can you tell us a little bit about your story? Characters, time period, etc? That would help the right Beta find you.

Well, where do I start?
My Story will involve a young woman who is looking for her roots to where she came from. Only remembering kinda of fazingly people who raised her for a short time before she was adopted. Her past is a very strong part of her life & could be were she is suppose to have been in the first place.(amnesia?) As you read, you will read about a people who lived in the Great Northern eastern region in the deep dense forest of North America and Canada. They are called the "Winono's" or "First Born" in the Iroquois language. Haldir is a part of her past, but she doesn't know that either. There are people who are interested in her as she holds many secrets to what they are looking for. I won't go any farther than that. But basicaly it does start off with her past as where she came from. Then it goes into the future where she is at (2006!) Then she somehow finds herself back in the past. Does she end up there...who knows?
But it is a story of a native american Iroquois woman, with a little native american flavoring. I had read some stories in some of the fanfiction archives on the internet that introduced some languages and cultures which interested me. I thought hmmmm! I can do something like that. I only used a few words though as I wanted to keep it simple by doing the major majority in English. I will be doing a little in elvish as well.(which I will be learning elvish 101). Time period starts in 1460 before Columbus. Then 2006, and then somewhere into the first age or before. But the main character is Haldir/and the one ofc.

And, not meaning to be rude, but how is this based on, or expand on, Tolkien's works besides having a character named Haldir in it?
