This isn't a fantasy work, but this is the most active of the forums; so forgive me for transgressing.
S.H.R.A.I.D. is nearly to the beta-reading/input stage! (For details on the series, see here and here).
As such, I need at least four beta-readers. And no, I'm not asking for fans of me or my work, though I am very glad for the... two... I have.
I want skeptics.
I want people who don't know really me from Adam, who won't hesitate to give me "harsh" feedback, who will have no qualms about pointing out shortcomings in my art and craft.
If you think you can do that for me, here's my full disclosure:
The story is going to be ~20,000 words.
There is some mild (by secular standards) language. Our heroes are military men and women. Some swearing is to be expected-- that said, I ascribe to the 'representative, not immersive' school of writing, hence only 8 words in the entire book.
There is violence. We're killing supervillains. Stuff's going to get blown up.
There are some disturbing scenes. Supervillains are not sane. They do things sane people wouldn't, and our heroes have to witness and deal with the aftermath.
Are you still here? Great. PM me, and we shall work out the best way for me to get my work to you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
P.S. I put the above in a spoiler because I'm not interested in debating my writing, writing philosophy, or artistic choices on this forum.
Please be polite. If you disagree with my writing philosophy, that's cool. But don't start an argument over it. This is not the time.
Thanks.
