Now that my mission is finally done, I need a beta to see just how inconsistent my writing is...
Kidding. But I do need a beta. Knowledge of the continuum (Forgotten Realms) isn't required, but I need someone who can spot plotholes and inconsistencies well. I also need someone to check for SPaG mistakes.
If anyone's interested, post your email so I'll be able to share the GDoc with you.
I'm looking for a beta just to read through the latest draft of my Permission writing sample. I've got most of it sorted out but a fresh air of eyes would be appreciated.
Or share it, whichever. My email's below.
My apologies to everyone if I don't get back to you right away, occasionally university interferes (pesky thing!) But such interference tends to be temporary, so...send away!

I believe you've got my email account if not send it to either stormehawk@gmail.com or thestormehawk@gmail.com, I check both.
That is, share away!

Wow, it's really weird not to be posting as DuskWater.

Too much time in an altered mindset can do weird things to a person. I see from your later chapters in the fanficWorld thread that you're already on speaking terms with your DuskWater self; that's good. It keeps the other mindset from becoming hostile, and allows it to differentiate itself as a separate entity. You don't want it claiming to be the "real" you, or you're going to have a real problem, no pun intended.
All pseudo-psychology aside, that sort of thing is why I didn't make Cyber-Observer much different from myself, albeit a version myself from several years ago before I learned that not everything I thought up was a good idea. It feels weird shifting out of something you didn't realize you became accustomed to.
Maybe I'll diverge a little further next year; this year's Cyber-Observer was more an experiment than anything else, and it failed in certain respects.
