wherein Liz defeats Yuletide! (...conditionally)

[edenfalling]

My story is done in rough draft!

...Oh god, now I need to edit it.

Hey, is anyone willing to beta for me? You don't actually need to know the fandom in question -- the nature of the story is such that all relevant details are included and explained as you read. Mostly I need to know if it flows naturally, if I'm being tin-eared anywhere, if I've made any spelling or grammar goofs, and if my structure accurately mimics the particular real-world thing I chose to copy. It's between 1,000 and 5,000 words.

I can post the fic as-is and edit any time up through late on the 24th, so I don't need the beta job back until Saturday afternoon.

Help, please?

I'd like a new story to read. I presume you want mostly howlers, flow problems, and confusing bits pointed out? I'd read it on a plane without a real keyboard, so I couldn't do a worthwhile line-by-line edit. I'd also find it a lot easier to read a txt or html file than a word doc, if that's a deal breaker.

kuchinashi+dreamwidth@gmail.com if it sounds like what you want.

Yes, basically a typo check and a general "does this make any sense and do people really talk/act this way?" check. I am sending you the file as a .txt notebook file thingy. (I think.) The email will have more details. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I have sent the file. As long as it's back by, say, 6pm on Saturday, it's all good. :-)

If you're still looking, I am free. If not, just accept a wave from the internet. (Hi.)

I think I am okay, but thank you!
