*I'M A NEWBIE*
Penname and e-mail: lj: BndJsFagHag15, Meg, whitex0xrabbit@aim.com
Are you planning to post as a WIP, or is this the start of an intended series?
I'm working on two projects, they're both WIPs. I have completed fourteen chapters out of fifteen+prologue&epilogue for one story (Karmic Redemption), and three *working on four right now* chapters out of five+epilogue story (No Goodbye).
Length, either in file size or how many pages (if incomplete, please specify how long so far, and intended length)
As of right now, Karmic Redemption is about 32,000 words, and No Goodbye as of now is about 7,100. I'd estimate, as Karmic Redemption has one chapter and an epilogue to go, I doubt it would be more than 40,000 words altogether. Longest thing I've ever written. No Goodbye, I'd say, won't breach 15,000.
Categories: (Choose all relevant, including Short Form Fiction, Parody, Angst, PWP, Romance, Crossover, Violence, Humor, AU/AR)
Karmic Redemption: Angst, Romance, Humor, AU, Violence (re-telling of experience, nothing major) No Goodbye: Angst, Romance, AU POST-513, all chapters are songfics.
Pairings and principal characters beyond B/J, if any:
The whole gang is there. Mel&Linds, Michaal&Ben, Emmett and Ted. Ethan and Chris Hobbs are minorly in Karmic Redemption.
General summary/outline of story:
Karmic Redemption: Brian got the job in New York in season one, then moves back six years later to open his own agency. As Brian and Justin aren't together when he does this, his agency is not called Kinnetic. Justin has become a sort of father in Gus' life while Brian is gone, and it leads to some major life changes. No Goodbye: Justin didn't go to New York that night. How does everyone handle that?
Warnings: (you must include everything you can think of, eg. squick, BDSM, main character death, heavy angst, non-con or semi-con/rape, mpreg, etc. Note that the archive does not accept stories that are ultimately Brian/Other or Justin/Other)
The violence mentioned in Karmic Redemption is the re-telling of an almost-rape story. Implied Justin/Ethan in Karmic Redemption, as in they dated in the past. There's some Anti-Mel&Linds sentiment in No Goodbye, and it seems Anti-Michael but it changes its mind.
Are you looking for someone to help with grammar/spelling/punctuation, or characterization, or just someone to help polish a finished product?
I'm looking for someone to help a bit with grammer/spelling/puncuation and someone to help polish what I have so far.
Toughness level: (Do you need blunt constructive criticism, or are you new to writing and in need of gentler guidance?)
Well, there's no need to be mean. I want to hear your honest opinion. I trust you. ;D.
Are you in need of someone who can get this back quickly, or are you hoping to find a beta who will really delve into your story?
Delve, since it's a WIP, and I'll just post it and then go and fix it. Might as well, as I've already posted as I went. So yes, no rush.
If you are not a new writer, do you have other fiction posted somewhere? If so, where?
I'm not a new writer, but I've never had a beta before.
