Aug 30, 2017 14:54


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?

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?

I just finished reading it and I didn't at all think it was cringe. When I got chapter 41 and saw there was no ending I nearly cried. It's such a brilliant story, the mental connection between the characters was so original and enthralling. The entire concept of your story was incredible. I looked at the date and saw you wrote it a while ago and my hopes for an ending were lost. I and probably a lot of others need an ending ASAP!
