Help Wanted

dracoqueen22Good afternoon, my friends.
I've come to see if there's anyone interested in helping prod me toward the finish line for my BigBang fic. My usual cheerleader is waving her pompoms for a different fic and I'm having a hard time staying motivated. The plot's going in directions that leave me second-guessing myself constantly and the structure is bouncing all over the place. I could really use someone who wants to tell me that it's crap, or encourage me if it's not, or help me figure out a few plot-fiddly details when I get stuck. Beta-checking not required but I wouldn't say no either.
Normally, I'd just leave a fic sitting and come back to it when the muses are being this fickle, but since I'm on a time-crunch I'm left with the option of either switching to a different plot or asking for help. I can take criticism, in fact I crave it. I can't fix it if I don't know what's wrong, right? So I promise not to get all huffy or offended. :)
Details, you ask?
Well, it's a G1/Bayverse/TFP/WTF-universe AU in which Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were raised separately, without knowledge of their being twins. There are craploads of OCs as a matter of course, but I'm also sticking in as many cameos as I can possibly and logistically fit. The fic is not for the faint of heart (one such dark twist is what's currently cramming up my plot) and if you have any triggers, I'd suggest not volunteering. I don't want to spoil and give it away by saying which triggers exactly.
To entice you, however, I will mention that Tracks, Drift/Deadlock, Barricade, Smokescreen, and the Combaticons have several starring roles. Jazz, Blurr, Prowl, and Hoist make pre-war cameos. Even more of the mechs we know and love are mentioned in passing. There will be smut of all sorts -- pnp, sticky, tactile, and spark -- and I intend for the final relationships to end up a surprise.
I also, hrrm, don't know how it's going to end. *facepalm*
Any further questions feel free to ask! If I have any volunteers, feel free to comment below or PM me. I pretty much need someone who can communicate through e-mail at least more than once a week (and I only say this because of the aforementioned time crunch) and who doesn't mind listening to me whine.
