For my first story involving Sesrik and Carnage!

There's no sporking taking place; I wanted to introduce Carnage and Sesrik first. Plus, they're not going to be through either agent's POV-the missions are gonna have a similar format to SkarmorySilver's.
Even if there's no sporking taking place, if you intend to make this story a part of the PPC canon, you need to get Permission first.
On getting Permission.
Come on, dude, you've done this before, you know what it entails.
...not to make your docs available for public view. Crowdsourcing for betas is not a good idea. Just say that you want someone to beta your work with a brief description, and send a PM with a link to anyone who's willing to help.
I'm honestly touched that you wish to take after my style of mission writing, but please be aware that I may not necessarily be the best source of inspiration, especially since I feel that my missions began to drag quite a bit this past summer. The stress that began sinking in caused my prose to plod a lot more than I feel it should, which is an example I wouldn't want others to follow. You can use my earlier ones as a reference - now THOSE were a lot of fun - but I would kindly advise working towards your own unique style of writing once you get the hang of things. Imitation may be the most sincere form of flattery, but it can only get you so far, especially when it comes to writing.
I think I can beta read your stuff tonight... if RL doesn't get to me first.
I used a sharable link. I don't think it's possible for anyone else to edit it, so at least that's one problem that doesn't need worrying over.
Yeah, I'm mainly looking towards your older stuff. I am trying to make my writing style as original as I can, however.
