Beta needed

[luzula]

So, I have this story which I first started working on two and a half years ago. It's been through several drafts, and then lain dormant in my WIP folder. But it felt like a pity to do all that work on it and never get it done, so while I was up in the mountains this summer, I took it up again and did some more rewriting.

The story is about Martha Fraser's youth, and it's mostly gen, although there is some Martha/George. It's 10,000 words long and rated PG-13. If you know about the 1920's or about Chinese culture (there's a Chinese OC), that would be awesome, but I will happily take your help anyway--just having another pair of eyes on it would be great. (If you do know about Chinese culture but don't feel like doing a full beta, I would love it if you'd look at just those aspects of the story.)

I can't commit to it right now, but if you still need a beta reader by the end of the week, get back to me-- I'll have a better sense then of what sort of timeframe I could get it back to you on. I know nothing about Chinese culture, though, and very little about the 1920s, so I wouldn't make a full-service reader in any case!

Yes, I'll keep you in mind! If it helps, I wouldn't need it back within a certain time--it's been a WIP for two and half years, so a month more or less isn't going to hurt. Although it would be nice to get it finished before the holiday fic exchanges.

I don't know Chinese culture, Luz, but I would be delighted to look at it.

Yay, thank you! Let me look through it one last time, and then I'll send it to you. : )

Might be able to help with the Chinese stuff. It's hard to say without knowing more about the context. I'd be happy to take a look.

Oh, cool! Thank you. Will email you soon, I just need to look through the story one last time.
