I've been thinking often of Dreamflower lately. I hope she's feeling better. (Words are so inadequate.) Blessings to both of you.

Hi, I love this fic of y'all's. It's quite different from the romances I normally read. I'm currently trying to work past writer's block in the fanfiction I'm writing for the Riddick series. But I'd be willing to Beta.

On Dreamflower's behalf, I want to thank everybody who has responded so far. I sent a link to this review page to her inbox. So far, I haven't heard back from her, so I don't know if she's read it yet. But she'll read it and respond when she's able to, I know. K.G.

Hello, I'm interested to discuss further.

Here's my email adirion@yahoo.com

I am not applying for beta-position, but please tell Dreamflower I'm thinking about her!

There's an SoA listserv? Did it take the place of the old Yahoogroups group? (It's possible I knew about it and forgot, and it's also possible I never heard about it, as I was away from all things fanfic for much too long a time. My old email that I used for Yahoogroups and many other things, including SoA review-writing and sign-in, is also long gone.)

Please disregard this question if it's inconvenient or inappropriate somehow.

I'm sending warm thoughts Dreamflower's way, and yours. I imagine you'll find some excellent beta readers who still read here. If you don't, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Hugs,
Lin

Yes, I would like that. Do you have access to my email on this site?

Lady ForlongReviewed Chapter: 999999 on 1/2/2024
I'm interested but I don't know how to "post a reply on the list serve" (or even get on the "list serve," so I don't ever get any emails from SoA). I don't think it's wise to post my email address here, so if you can tell me how to send you a message....

I'm posting this here in case there are any other technologically challenged people who have the same question, so you don't get cheated out of other possible beta readers.

What exactly does a beta reader do? Is it something like an editor? I'm not a writer but I'm willing to give it a shot -- beta reading that is, not writing! I don't normally read stories that aren't finished but I'd make an exception in this case.

Best wishes for Dreamflower's recovery.

Author Reply: Well, in our case, we first write the chapters on Google Doc, and then we go back over them to make any changes and additions that are needed. Once that's finished, I get the chapter ready for posting, and then I copy and paste the chapter onto a Word document. There, I get it ready for posting onto Fanfiction.net, Archive of Our Own, and Stories of Arda.

If you decide to accept our invitation to beta-read our story, Dreamflower and I can send you an invitation to access Google Docs. K.G.
