Betas, anyone?

[lagilman]

I have a short (2000 word) story I need fresh eyes on before I decide where it should go. Any volunteers?

(caveat: please don't volunteer if you don't feel comfortable giving useful and specific feedback. "I liked it" is nice but it doesn't really help at this stage. I like it too...)

Names taken, file to go out today. Thanks everyone!

I'd love to take a look, and I can promise to give you more feedback than "I liked it." (Though I'll most likely say that, too.)

What sort of response timeline would you like? I took too long with the previous request, and don't want to do it twice.

When would you want the feedback by?

[lagilman]

ideally, within the week.

I'd love to help, but I wouldn't be able to finish it within the week. I'm stuck in training during the day, which means I have a full slate of regular work in the evening.

Would love to read it, if you'd like me to, and am happy to give feed back :-)

[lagilman]

an email would be useful....

Ah, so it would :-) smcleod99 at gmail.com

I'm in if you still need folks.

Sounds like you have the volunteers you need, but if you need yet another pair of eyes, lemme know.

Maybe I could, unless you want someone with a bigger fantasy background.
Because I don't really have one, Sookie Stackhouse aside.

If you still need the eyes, I'd be happy to give it a look

2000 words? Sure, no problem. You have my eddress, I believe.

[fireun.livejournal.com]

you can send it my way if you still need folks. I actually have time on my hands for once.
