This post is tl;dr. D:
Hey everyone, hope the new year is treating you all well.
I am still a moderately new writer in terms of fanfiction.
I am in search of a (or some) beta reader(s). I host my stories on Fanfiction.net (I know, I know, it's the MTV 'Jersey Shore' of fic hosting) as well as Livejournal, and the 238947289347 pages of beta readers listed on FF.net make my head hurt. Also, the sheer number of listed readers represented by incoherent user names like xXKiTsUnEkAwAiIXx (and subsequently list a bunch of "(=^_^=)" drivel in their profiles) are kind of a turn off after the first 30 pages.
I have two projects on the go right now:
1. "The Doctor Series", which I've spammed all over the Internet. It's a McCoy/Spock, hurt/comfort with the story opening with the direct after effects of Nero raping Spock. God, that sounds so stale/cringe-worthy when typed out. It started as an 'xi_kink_meme' response to 'Bones treating Spock for rape'. Anyway, what I am looking for regarding this story is some assistance with sorting out the 10 different ideas I have for where to take this story in the following chapters. I am also toying with the idea moderate re-writes of previous chapters. Looking back on them now, I don't dislike what I did with them, I just think there could be a little more bulk. This will be long and it will have explicit scenes eventually. At the moment, I do not intend to describe in detail the rape scene. I also welcome any grammar suggestions/corrections etc.
2. A series of Dominant-Spock/submissive-Kirk one-shots, that could possibly morph into something with a plot. I have had a poll on my FF.net profile since November, asking the many people who appear to read my stories, if they would desire a plot. I've managed to scrape together 25 votes, and failing lol. I would personally like to introduce a plot, and bounce some ideas off of more seasoned writers/readers for this one.
I love harsh, constructive criticism, and unfortunately find it difficult to receive. Any feedback is fabulous, but a lot of reviews/messages received on FF.net don't exactly inspire my creativity when it's good ol' xXKiTsUnEkAwAiIXx giving me "(=^_^=)".
I don't tag/organise my stories on LJ very well, so here's my FF.net link for easily archived viewing.
