Anyone out there who isn't easily squicked?

[dubu_dubu]

I'm working on something... interesting right now.  It's a fic that's going to involve a lot of things I've never tried before, some of which might be troublesome for more gentle readers.

I would like 4 readers to whom I can send the story as a WIP in order to receive feedback.  I've already chosen one person so there are 3 slots left.

The story will

omg I would love to do this. I, personally, have an interest towards supernatural AU with animalistic tendencies and I can withstand the other elements you mentioned pretty well so I could be your girl!

I strongly believe that characters are an, if not /the/ most, essential part of the story. They need to have multiple aspects to their personality and interaction between characters also needs to be credible. If you add a compelling world and plot to that then you have the basics of what could be an amazing story. It's no secret that I adore your stories (I really, really do) but I can take an objective perspective when needed. I've been writing a paper and reading up on scientific and linguistic published works so I am very much in the mood of (over)analyzing and taking it to the core of things haha.

I wonder when you need the beta reading to happen though since I am not always free.
Please consider me! ^^

P.S.: oh god I hope I'm in the first three. I've probably taken too long to write. *fearfully presses enter and prepares for

[mafuyuchains]

First! Aw yeah! *fistpump*

[dubu_dubu]

Yay! Thank you for showing interest :DDD

You sound like you would make an excellent test reader. As for how much time this would involve, well I don't have a set schedule so I will be sending you the story piecemeal. The story will comprise of 3 parts (and hopefully an epilogue) with 5 chapters in each part. Each chapter will be told through the POV of one of the SHINee members. So it will be like this:

PART I
Jonghyun
Key
Minho
Taemin
Onew

Each chapter will be fairly long and I expect feedback for each of them. HOWEVER, I don't expect a thesis-length response. Just something akin to a long comment about what you reacted strongly to and the 3 questions I've mentioned.

I plan on releasing the story by part, which means that there's a lot of time between when I send you a chapter and when the I actually intend to publish the story online. You will have lots of time to mull over things. I'm in no rush and I want this story to be good before I release it into the wild for public consumption.

Does that sound doable?

[mafuyuchains]

That sounds very doable yes (no pun intended). Can't wait to get started! I will admit that most of all I'm curious about the knotting part and how you'll fit it in.

I've read the comment below about omega-verse, I didn't know there was such a genre. I think I'll go get myself acquainted with them since it could help me with your WIP and- I just really want to. God, I love linguistically skilled fandoms.

I'll be waiting for your PM then! ^^

[_keepthebeat]

Oh, good god. I'm almost ashamed to say it, but this story sounds...right up my alley? Blaming Sherlock fandom for acclimatizing me to weird stuff with all those omegaverse AUs right now.

If you're still looking for people to test-read this, I'd love to help you out. :)

[dubu_dubu]

Lol, no shame! If you think Sherlock fandom is hardcore, try Supernatural fandom. Those fans are like the champions of the bizarre and kinky.

Glad this sounds like it's something you're interested in! Please read the comment I left above and once I get one more test reader, I will PM all 3 of you.

[_keepthebeat]

Just read the comment. Sounds like quite a project! I'm sure it'll be loads of fun to read, though, and I look forward to giving you feedback. :))

[dubu_dubu]

Thanks! Oh, and I went ahead and checked out the omegaverse!Sherlock fic you mentioned. I think it's the one by velvet_mace? I've just started and it looks AMAZING. Just the world-building involved got me hooked.

[suntaem]

As soon as I read knotting I was like "ok this not what I thought it would be" I'm looking forward to it!!

[dubu_dubu]

Lol, I'm curious, what did you think it would be?

[kiku_cha8_8]

Hey you ♥ So those three questions, eh? Gonna keep them in mind then! ‎ I"ll try to be really thorough (･`ㅂ´*)ノ。・:*:・°'♥,。・:*:♪・°'♥

[dubu_dubu]

<3

[linnhe]

I see you've already found your three, just stopping by to say adfhjqshfjdhfj. This has werewolves and nuns and just, so much potential for awesome *-* I am really excited

[dubu_dubu]

Actually, kiku-cha8_8 was the first person that I had already originally chosen so I'm still looking for one more test reader.

Thanks for your anticipation :)

[linnhe]

Oh! In that case, I would really like to participate! I'm not sure what kind of qualifications I can give you? But I promise to work hard and be honest <3

[dubu_dubu]

Don't worry, you don't need a detailed resume. Just be ready to give your honest opinion and constructive criticism.

I am adding you as a friend and I will be PMing you soon. Thanks for your interest! :D
