Second Beta Needed, Please

[issaro.livejournal.com]

I'm in need of a second beta, please.

The Genre/Pairing is Slash, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay and it has a NC-17 for sex and violence. The story is a post apocalyptic werewolves, boy falls for boy kind of fic. It's the sequel to a previously posted big bang, Travelling With Wolves. It isn’t necessary to read that first but the story will make more sense if you have.

I have the first reader looking at it now, so it wouldn't be available immediately but I will try to give you at least 2 weeks. I'm really looking for someone to give it a clean scrub after the second round of changes.

THANKS!

I've read the earlier fic. I'd be happy to help with a general SPAG and typos scrub if that's mostly what you want at that point.

I also have an initial beta-reader (who I'm messing about, having now developed RSI!) but would be keen to get a similar additional final-check once-over for mine towards the end of the time. It'll be ~30,000-35,000 by then:
McShep plus team - an on-Earth near-future sci-fi AU with bug!John. NC-17 (mainly for sex), some D/s dynamics in the pairing at times, plot mostly action/adventure/personal journey.

Fabulous! Thank you, I'll be in touch as soon as I have a copy for review.

I will need a second beta. I have it at one beta now. I will mostly need a run through of the story to make sure that things make sense, etc.

It is Lorn/Sheppard shifter fic. It is NC-17. It takes place during 5th season of SGA. It is about 28k (but with revisions it might be slightly more or less). It is a semi-schmoopy love story about John finding his mate and Atlantis helping Lorne and Sheppard out.

Thanks!

[thothkristen]

I would also like to add that my story does not have any knotting and it is a kid fic BUT there is NO mpreg. Thanks!

[whogate]

I would love to help out. You can email me the story at whogate@yahoo.com

[thothkristen]

Thank you for your help! This weekend I'm hoping to put a lot of the "polishing" touches to the story so I'm hoping to e-mail it to you by the end of this weekend but it might not be until next weekend (I don't do a whole lot during the week due to work).

[thothkristen]

Did you receive the rough draft that I sent you?

Thank you!

[whogate]

No, I didn't. Can you try sending it to me agian?

[thothkristen]

I did. The subject line is SGA BB. It is coming from thothkristen(at)gmail

If you do not receive it, can you please let me know and maybe check your spam folder?

Thank you!

[whogate]

I figured out why I haven't gotten it yet. I accidentally left the underscore out of my email address. Sorry about that. Try sending it again to who_gate@yahoo.com

[thothkristen]

I sent it to the new address. Please let me know if you receive it or not.

Thank you!

[whogate]

I got it. I will start working on it right away.

[whogate]

I sent you a copy with my comments. Can you let me know if you received it?

I need two beta readers.

It's John/Rodney, NC-17, 60k words. The story is a historical AU (fake historical, though, with a made up society of the city state of Atlantia) in which John is Rodney's body servant, which includes sexual servicing. They fall in love, however the laws of Atlantia require Rodney to get married by the age of twenty-one, which leads to pining, denial, and angst before they get their happy ending.

Warnings: This includes underage sex (John is 16 when he starts training for Rodney), John having meaningless sex with Atlantean men for training purposes, mention of suicide and death of servants due to their situation, general themes of (lack of) consent for some of the other body servants (vaguely discussed in passing only).

I'd require SPAG, though any further suggestions are welcome too.

[wanted_a_pony]

I'd love to read this! Is SPAG = spelling, punctuation & grammar? I can do that (used to work as a proofreader/editor/copywriter), as well as continuity & general characterization checks if wanted.

Surest way to contact me is e-mail: wanted.a.pony (at) gmail dot com

Easiest way for me to edit/annotate a document is through Google Docs or a text (.doc, .docx, .odt, .rtf) file.

[velocitygrass]

Thanks so much! I'm going to do a proper read-through with some editing today (and possibly tomorrow) and then send you the file.

[mific]

I'm reading anyway, so happy to also do you a mostly SPAG and typos check.

[velocitygrass]

Thank you! I'm going over the fic again today/tomorrow. Especially the last half/third will be riddled with errors because I didn't have time to re-read. I'll send an updated version this weekend.

I'm looking for at least one more beta, mostly SPaG but I'll take concrit...

This is a total AU, John and Rodney doing the musical Camelot on Broadway... very NC17 in the end. It's ( ::embarrassed:: ) not totally finished but it's over 35K and will be over 40K (and hopefully done) this weekend. Some of those pesky in-between bits need to be written.

There is also gratuitous abuse of SG1 characters as walk-ons (hey! a musical has a cast of lots, I ran out of folk to use) but it's really focused on John and Rodney, so no SG1 knowledge is really necessary.

Hugs and cookies for anyone willing to help!

[zoemathemata]

I can help!
I can be reached at zoemathemata@live.ca

Don't you wish those in-between bits would write themselves?? I know I always do!

[rabidfan]

I've had my story beta'd but I'd feel better if I had it looked over again. If anyone has the time...and isn't put off by Hooker!John...I'd very much appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Cheri

Wouldn't mind being a reader, if you can get it to me before 4:00 p.m. u.s. central time today (Thursday). I'll get it back to you asap. Slow day at work today :)
