I am more in need of a second opinion. A second eye to catch things I may have missed.
I will forwarn: I am a perfectionist and Obsessive Compulsive. This is also not only an adult rated (no yimmy's!), but it will also contain dark themes. If you are offended by adult and/or dark themes (or are yimmy) stay away.
I have a ton of ideas coming up, but I will only work on one at a time. Right now, the first story is a tester. I am basically going to post a couple of chapters to see how it fares. If it does not seem popular or that anyone enjoys it, I will discontinue it and start on my trilogy. If anyone wants to beta these for me, I will be greatly appreciative. I do have requirements:
1. I do work. I may not also be able to update weekly, daily, whatnot. I may also wait until I have the whole story finished before posting, though I will send the chapters one by one. If it does not appear anyone likes the story, it will be discontinued and I will start the other idea(s) I have.
2. I need someone honest (will not be afraid to tell me what they think), at the very least, moderately good in grammar and spelling (and a good grasp of the English language as that is all I am truly fluent in, though if when I am done someone wants to translate it, I will be happy to accomodate), and has a good eye (for things like inconsistancy, areas that need more or less attention, etc...).
3. I would prefer to send things by e-mail. I will not divulge it here, but will send my e-mail through pm. I find it much easier that way.
4. I also need to know what word editing software is used. I use Office 2007, which is compatible with nearly everything. However, I do need to know so I can ensure the documents can be opened in whatever program the beta-er uses.
5. Finally, I ask that if there are "changes" that I do not agree with, it needs to be possible to meet in chat or somewhere else (aim, yahoo, msn, whatnot) to discuss 'why' if need be.
I thank all in advance who consider helping.
