Beta request

I’ve finally stopped procrastinating and decided to get a beta. The request itself is a seven page Google doc (in twelve point font). Agent fandoms are Sharpe and RWBY, with a mission to Star Wars in the creative prompt, although cursory knowledge of all would be enough.

By which I of course mean the TV series based on Bernard Cornwell's book series, but I know it because of Sean Bean, so. >.>
I'm holding off on volunteering to beta because I want to remain available as a PG, but if that's the case, color me intrigued!

I think I read a few of the books, too (my dad had a bunch of them), but it's been a long time since. A long time since I saw any of the episodes, too. I remember bits and pieces, like the awesome theme song, the explosives guy with the mask, and Pete Postlethwaite's role. That guy is always memorable.
And of course the two leads. According to the wiki article I just read, Bernard Cornwell himself was so impressed with Sean Bean's performance that he incorporated some things, like his Northern accent, into books written after the series started airing. How 'bout that!

...That I mostly know Sharpe as "that thing that Gaunt's Ghosts cribbed off", like how I basically know Flashman as Cain's inspiration.
I should probably read it sometime.
