dracoqueen22So I need to get my Bigbang fic beta-read. My usual beta is swamped with Residencies so she definitely has the time. I thought I'd put the request out here on my personal-LJ before I post it it to the Bigbang comm.
Stories are due July 31st, so I have to have my final copy in by then. But I'll need the beta-work back by at least seven to ten days beforehand so I can go back through it, make adjustments if needed, so on and such forth. So I'd need it back by July 21st at the latest.
On my end, the fic is mostly complete. I have one scene to finish up in one part, and two scenes to finish up in another and then it'll be ready for beta-ing. I think I can have it done by June 20th. That'll give potential awesome betas a full month to go through it.
I'm a good speller and I have tolerable grammar, but me and commas are in a long-standing war and I have the tendency to repeat myself when I'm not looking. It helps to have a second pair of eyes catch those kinds of mistakes.
So here's the particulars. The fic itself, putting the two Acts together, is about 50K. It's got a little bit of everything in it so if you have any triggers, I wouldn't recommend volunteering. I don't want to put in too many specific warnings otherwise it'll spoil everyone. :)
Enticements: It's a Transformers Universe amalgam and I draw from Bayverse, Prime, and G1 and it doesn't resemble any of them closely enough to say which one is the main influence. It's a history fic, an alternate look on what paths Sunstreaker and Sideswipe might have taken if they were raised separately from one another, without knowledge of each other's existence. Other starring roles include Tracks, Barricade, Smokescreen, the Combaticons exc Blast Off, Prowl, Hoist, and Megatron.
Any takers? Or, if there's something else you'd like to know before volunteering, feel free to comment below or PM me.
