Nothing serious, but it does have a few mentions of rape and other nasty things, like body horror.

I'm looking for someone to beta my Permission request, with the two writing samples and all. You can access it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1avB9y94ULTFtAGyZcBgNcOaW8Umzmczw-StakmGMolw/
Perhaps this was shoved down too fast by exiting stuff going on further up-thread and nobody even looks here? Maybe you did it wrong and everybody assumes that you don’t need a response here because somebody else already commented on the linked GDoc? (*checking* Nobody did.) Or they talked to you on the discord and I didn’t notice?
Formality: While presenting agent concepts for general discussion is okay, you shouldn’t link your GDoc when asking for beta readers. Since everybody who follows the link can read it, you published an un-betaed version of your permission request. We don’t do that because having your mistakes pointed out more privately is less embarrassing and some beta readers may be too polite to be totally honest when they know that everybody can see their comments. You should have omitted the link, waited for volunteers who usually would tell your their e-mail address, and then mailed the link to them.
You not knowing this, and me barely knowing who you are, may be indicators that you are not ready to ask for permission. (But then, I’m never on the discord and didn’t pay much attention to the Board lately, so other Permission Givers may easily recognize you.)
Anyway, next steps: You respond to the comments I left on the GDoc and tell me when you finished editing (preferably by mail, my address with more or less usual substitutions to ward off the spam bots can be found on my wiki user page); then I’ll read it again to catch new mistakes and what I may have missed on the first read.

The reason why we don't know each other is because I spend more time on Discord than on the Board, but I've been around for a few months, and I thought it was time to start trying for Permission. I did reply in e-mail, but I've also conferred with Calliope, my other beta, and I corrected the text based on the suggestions you two had made. Thanks again for your help!
I remember Xiaolin Showdown! That particular fandom has been untapped here. Sadly I will not have time to Beta this but I hope it all works out for you.
