I've got a little over 18,000 words of my entry done (11,000 words had previously been posted to a meme, so I've got to write at least 22,000) and I desperately need a beta reader. I know that some parts need tightening up and some parts need a little more, but I'm finding it hard to focus on exactly what needs what. I need a fresh pair of eyes. I ( Read more... )

Hey guys, I'm just over 14,000 words and about 87% finished my big bang, and I know where I'm going, but I'd really appreciate having someone to smooth over the last leg with because it's snagging me a little bit. I'm after a beta for when I finish as it is, but if there was anyone who was willing to jump on board a little early and help me end ( Read more... )

Hey guys!

I've written about two thirds of my draft, and with deadlines creeping up on us, I could really do with someone checking over what I've written so far, since I've hit something of a block. I'm looking for someone who'll be willing to act as both a beta and a reader. I need someone to help smooth out any rushed moments, as well as to tell ( Read more... )

In addition to the old reliable resource of Write or Die, the gsd_rtfn ("Get Sh*t Done Right the F*ck Now") support community is a great resource for all fanworks if you've been struggling (e.g. finishing that first draft of the art or fic, or polishing the final beta) because there will be a whole motley crew of people just like you and, through mutual ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm so sorry that real life took me away but I'll have a tinychat up for the next two days, and anyone that wants to pop in for Word Wars can do so  here. Please sign in as guest (it's a tinychat but you don't have to link anything to twitter or facebook if you don't want to)

I'll be there all of today and most of tomorrow.

Again, sorry for the ( Read more... )

Okay, so my project has 2024 words and I have NO IDEA how I'm going to get it to the actual required word count in time ( Read more... )

So, rough drafts are due in a week, and I'm stuck. My story seems to have stalled out at about 2k, and I can't seem to get the ball rolling, again ( Read more... )

Also, I meant to ask in that last post, sorry. Does any one know the exact words Shaw says to young Erik after the boy has destroyed the lab. I seem to recall it being something like fear and pain, or anger and pain, being the key to unlocking Erik's potential?
