In Search of a Beta
Apr. 10th, 2008 09:13 pmOkay...so here's the thing. "In Service"...I have been working at converting it to original fiction.
I need sanity checking and a beta for technical stuff (like did I catch all the scene changes within chapters, is there enough detail on the world building end of things, did I catch all the name changes, etc) because my eyes are bleeding and it's all blurring together.
Ideally, I'd love to have two betas before I send it in. More eyes are always better.
I still think it's light on the world building side, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to put the exposition...or how to do it without great big chunks of exposition. In total, it clocks in at over 101,000 words. Thirty chapters and an epilogue.
M/M sex, dubious consent, slavery (of a sort), sickeningly sweet love story (yes, even with the first warnings)...as warnings to those who never read it in its fan fic form.
I'm going to post this over on
amara_m too.
