A first chapter and a general plea for help

[ravenclaw42]

I'm getting a little bit desperate, and this is such a close-knit group of great writers that I hate to barge in, but at the same time I'm especially interested in getting help from these particular quarters. The lowdown: I started writing a Supernatural/Torchwood/Doctor Who crossover at the beginning of last November, in an attempt to see if I

I can't beta for you because my english sucks but I'd really love to read more of this, the setup in this chapter is more than intriguing!

I think Rain's got me covered in the grammar/spelling department -- I'm more worried about whether the characters fall flat or not. But I'm glad the setup is enough to draw you in! Now that I'm further on, the first chapter seems so tame to me. :D

I'm a horrible beta -- no sense of punctuation. I love this though, can't wait for you to start posting it. Of course with three of my favourite shows in it, how could I go wrong. Please please let us know when and where you start posting -- I don't want to miss the rest.

Oh, I have no sense of punctuation either. Two professors this semester forbade me from using semicolons in papers for their classes! XD But I think Rainweaver catches all my grammar mistakes. I'm really looking for more of a characterization/continuity beta. (Also a Britpicker liek whoa.) And since you watch all three shows, your opinion would be greatly appreciated! ^_^

I'm gonna post the rough, hot-off-the-brain version here to see what feedback I get, then do my editing and hold my breath before I post it elsewhere. Probably torch_wood, crossoverfic, and a general SPN fic comm. (I don't know the SPN fandom as well as TW/DW.)

I'm not sure how helpful I can be because I don't know much about Torchwood (I just watch the boykissing bits on youtube) and Supernatural (I've seen a few episodes). But. I like the idea of a crossover. And, I know enough about both to have gone, hey, it's the cyber chick from Torchwood when that actress appeared on Supernatural.

I like the set up. I like that Tosh gets it (she seems like she would, too me). Um. I can't think of anything else useful, sorry!

I'm totally unhelpful. I'm not familiar with any of the shows, and I'm not brit either. I do like the urgency and the nervousness of the dream at the beginning...that sense of unease is apparent even without being familiar with the characters!

Good luck to you! And either Rain's doing a fantastic job with the grammar bits, or you're pretty good at that too! *hugs you both*
