Looking for a beta! by Desdendelle on 2013-09-30 20:32:00 UTC Reply

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.

Send it over. by DawnFire on 2013-10-02 02:17:00 UTC Reply

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!

Just sent it. Don't worry about Uni interference etc., I have that problem as well so I know what you mean.

I've opened it and, well, your first sentence looks good...

You know how it is. I'll hopefully get you some feedback within the next few days :)

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

Be careful your alternate personality doesn't take over. by Outhra on 2013-10-01 04:24:00 UTC Reply

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.
