BETA request for Blind My Eyes, Sew Them Shut

[greenaleydis]

Hey fam,

I'm trying to finish my fic Blind My Eyes, Sew Them Shut (FINALLY OMG) and I need some help. Is anyone an experienced BETA that can help me polish the existing story and the remaining chapters?

Thank you for considering! <3

How much is left to write/complete?

[greenaleydis]

I have about 4-5 chapters worth of stuff left, and it's a 41 chapters story already (about 2-3k words per chapter). I've been going through the story already, cleaning stuff up, but... you know when you write stuff when you're young, and then you go back and look at it and you're like, "Ughhhhhh..." Yeah.

I'm interested. What kind of time frame are you looking at? And YES, I sure do know about writing 10 years ago and seeing it again now. Haha. Definitely some cringe going on. What exactly are you looking for, in terms of a beta job?

Sweet! The story is Post DH, EWE. It doesn't need to be done soon necessarily, just at some point. I was hoping by the end of the year. I definitely need a critical pair of eyes on the middle chapters - I do a lot of telling, minimal showing, and try to say too much at once - and some help with ironing out the ending (so many options...). So draft editing, maybe some plot help?

Hmm. Well, my time is super limited, but I absolutely love doing beta work. If you don't mind lots of red. :)

I'm going to read the story as soon as I get a chance. I will let you know once I do what I think in terms of what I can offer, time-wise. With 41 chapters, even a chapter a week would take 9 months! So end of the year might be pushing it.

Ah, yeah you're right. That's fine, it's been sitting for years, there's no rush. Bring on the red, let's do it! :)
