Msg# 3067

wanted: Beta-reader Posted by pipkinsweetgrass December 07, 2004 - 17:42:07 Topic ID# 3067

One of the reasons I joined this group was to help me become a better
writer. I adore JRRT fan fic, and writing it has been such a help to
me. I wrote a monster of a story, one of my first, called The Bee
Charmer. It needs a beta read something awful. If anyone is interested
in helping me out with this please let me know.

What I need in a beta reader is someone who loves Boromir and his
relationship with Merry and Pippin, and who has a sense of spiritual
values, as this story deals heavily with self-redemption and a
familial love shared between my favorite Gondorian and his two
favorite hobbits. It also deals heavily with the afterlife, and is
unashamedly non-canon. Boromir goes through a lot of changes, but the
story explains how he traverses this inner journey.

Someone please have mercy on this poor hack and help me with
this...it's too good a story to not be beta-ed. I hate the first
couple of chapters. If you can beta this I would be eternally
grateful. Puncuation nazis are more than welcome, as I hate bad
punctuation, but a sense of humor is a plus as well.

Anyone interested may contact me by e mail at pipkinsweetgrass@yahoo.com.

I'm learning a good bit just by visiting this place and look forward
to getting to know you all.

Thanks for setting all this up. The workload must be awesome and I'm
sure the pay is lousy. ; D

I would recommend that you ask Aeneid at HASA,
she is writing herself an AU-"Boromir lives" fic
with allusions to Greek mythology.

If you are willing to wait until after the holidays, I would be honored to
beta for you. Unfortunately, I have several items to beta, a son coming
home from college on the 17th and the typical insanity that is December.
