Looking for a beta by Neshomeh on 2012-10-11 05:28:00 UTC Reply

I need somebody willing to take on a somewhat lengthy DMS mission in Lord of the Rings. The length is due to there being two fics involved, a prequel and a sequel starring the same OC. Canon knowledge is always a plus, but attention to characterization, pacing, and continuity is a must. I'm really hoping to get some feedback regarding whether everything goes together smoothly and makes sense from beginning to end, since this mission was written in many spurts over more than a year, maybe even closer to two. I've changed direction and rewritten various segments so many times there are sure to be some details I've forgotten to fix here and there.

Is Gdocs okay with everyone? by Neshomeh on 2012-10-11 16:57:00 UTC Reply

I should've asked before. {= P Anyway, I've got the thing up in a Gdoc right now, but I know I personally prefer Word for the "Track Changes" feature, so I can e-mail the file to you if you like. Or I guess you could download it from Gdocs. Whichever.

Either way, Kitty, I'll need your address. {= )

Thanks, guys!

My LotR knowledge isn't brilliant, I mostly only know movieverse now as it's been too long since I've read the books. But I have had quite a lot of practice at checking for continuity, as I often end up going back over and re-writing multiple sections in my own work.

I may be able to catch what Kitty might miss, provided that happens at all.

I feel pretty comfortable with the Lord of the Rings canon, and I like going through things to find mistakes. Not that I'm the best beta in the world - I'll probably miss something someone else would catch - but I'm willing to give it a go.
