Non-PPC-related-beta request! by

(I think that title has too many dashes...)
Anyway, I'm in the process of... -deep inhale- ...re-re-re-re-writing an original series I've wanted to write and publish for a good six or seven years, now, and (having recently moved from my hometown and relocating a good three- or four hours south) am currently cut off from all but one of my previous beta-readers as a result... at least until I get everyone's addresses memorized.
Which, as with mathematical rules and facts about the science of weather and cellular structure, is probably going to take me forever, and I've already lost my address book. -facedesk-
Anyway, I'm posting this long and convoluted thread to ask if anyone here would be interested in beta-ing my story for me. You don't have to beta the whole thing - you can help with just a paragraph, if'n you want - but if anyone is interested, I'm really concerned with characterization (especially with making sure none of my characters fall to Suedom), writing voice, wangst-prevention (the story is not a comedy, but I also don't want it to be a wangst-fest and there's a character or two who might veer into that if I'm not careful), and racial characterization (there is a sentient, non-human race at the core of the story... actually the non-human race pretty much IS the story...)
It's going to be on Gdocs for the writing- and beta stages, so if anyone's interested, please let me know your email so I can send it to you.
Thankies for taking a peek at my request! -bows too low and falls over- Dang it... -

So, it's an original story? Do you plan on doing anything with it for NaNoWriMo? -

I'll have it to you just as soon as the overview is finished!
I'm not sure...I have a sort of origin story that relates to it by way of the non-human race, but I don't know yet if that's the origin story I want to use... -
