It's very short, only about six hundred words. It's a conversation between Annatar and Celebrimbor. It contains very mild slash (i.e. some kissing), which is why I really want a beta; I've never really written romance-ish stuff. (Though Annatar is manipulating the Glaurung out of Celebrimbor, so it's not exactly romantic.)
Anyway, is anyone interested?
Well, I'm not sure I'd be the best person to do it, since I have no knowledge of the Silmarillion whatsoever, though I can promise to do enough research to get a gist of the characters and the story before I look at yours. On the other hand, I do have a decent amount of experience as a beta, a slash writer, and a romance writer, which is what you said you wanted help with.
I'm on The Pit if you want to take a look at some of my stuff. I'd warn you away from the earlier stories, since they were written years and years ago, and I will warn you that Emerald Fog contains a 'Sue as a (very) minor character, though said story is in the process of being edited and she is slowly dying a gory death.
The best way to contact me is either via pm on The Pit or by AIM, where I'm known as anamia8742. You could email me (thirteenskater(@)gmail(.)com) but I'm not as good at checking that as I should be.

Thanks, but I've already got two. I appreciate the offer, and I'll definitely check out your stuff on The Pit though.
Glad you found people to help you. Please do check out my stuff; I'd love to know what you think.

I'm not as familiar with the Silmarillion as I'd like to be, but I've got some beta-reading and slash experience (albeit not in any pairing involving the local equivalent of Lucifer) and can offer a hand. If it's easiest, I can be emailed at gattsuru at gmail dot com
Thanks! That would be awesome. I'll email it to you ASAP.
I could do it. Though, perhaps I should not be the only one to do it. I have not too much beta-ing experience.
Hey, if you're interested in doing it, I'd be delighted to have you beta. If you want to, what would be the easiest way to get the story to you? I'm on Fanfiction.net, and I know they have something set up for betaing, or I could just email it to you or something.
I think email would be best. I will mark anything I add/correct/suggest red. My email is deborah.g at gmx dot net.
Cool, thanks. I'll email it to you.
