I have a favor to ask. I need a beta. No! Don't run away! Come baaaack.

Still reading? 'Kay. Here's the thing. This isn't fanfic, it isn't scifi, and it isn't even exactly written. That is to say, I have written two drafts, but my final draft is still in the works, and it's the final draft I need concrit on. Constructive criticism. My SSFFS betas have all graduated and are now Real People living in the Real World and I'm hoping that there are new lovely authors and betas out there. So even though it isn't scifi,

So. Here's the stats: Its working title is "Graduation". I wrote it as a screenplay but it doesn't work so well that way so I'll be rewriting it. It is about highschool. Wait, maybe I shouldn't mention that, it might scare you off. No, the main character is not a stand-in for me. But, the characters' personalities are age-appropriate. Be warned.

So, beta'ing. I need at least one beta. I am eventually going to be publishing this once I get my shit together, so I need proofreading, plot critique, structure critique, and honest feedback. I am not good at accepting criticism from those I love or whose writing I admire, so if you are close to me or I have ever at any time gone into raptures about your stories, this is not the stage at which you should be involved in this. Let's define "close" as, if I've ever cried on you, or if I've ever stayed up late cuddling or having philisophical conversations with you.

If you are interested, please let me know. I will friends-lock portions of the story at my other journal, janaki.
