calling betas!

[gwendolyngrace]

Hi, all.

So, my big_bang post goes up on June 26th. I've been tweaking it fairly continuously for a while and I'm fairly happy with it as-is, but it's big and major and I'm feeling wibblish.

It's in the hands of one beta, but I know she's having a really tough couple weeks and I'd love another opinion before posting.

It's long - 43,000 words - but it reads fairly quickly. Anyone up for a sneak peek?

I just read Trust und Freude day before yesterday and absolutely loved it. It was very cool to see John get his own adult storyline in a story that was still wee!chester centric.

Anyway, I'd be more than happy to lend a hand. Let me know!

REALLY?

Cool.

I just sent you a private message to talk about email details....

[july-july-july.livejournal.com]

For serious! I just messaged back.

Thanks - I think I'm covered now.

If you still need a beta, I'd be more than happy to help out. I'm very good! <3

Well, you read the draft and liked it... which is great feedback, but I'm looking for some more detailed con/crit. I've tweaked it a great deal since you saw it, but didn't get to tighten it up by much.

Actually, I was going to email you anyway to ask what other scenes/sketches you think you'll have. I'm trying to figure out where to put the links to the art, and I'm finding a lot skewed toward the beginning.... there are a couple places I can use some of the art, but knowing what else is coming will help me space the artwork out in the story.

I'll happily send you the revised version, though!

Yeah I can do detailed crit, that's why I'm offering :) Just let me know how harsh you want me to be.

Well, this is the other reason I wanna see the revised version, to get more of an idea of what scenes I definitely want to illustrate.
