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.

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.

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.

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

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.
