Alternate history spy story

[feuervogel]

Draft 1 complete.

Anybody want to beta this? It's 6700 words. Turnaround by the 15th. (Antho subs close 1/15.) Tentative title: Something There Is

(Reference linked because Ben didn't get the reference.)

Sure! E-mail it to me and I'll get it back by 12/15.

I was wondering if you'd had a chance to crit this. (Let me know if the file never showed up! I sent it right away.)

[smarriveurr]

I'm not a very good beta at all (I have no established settings between "proofread" and "rewrite in your own style"), but I just wanted to pop in to say that I got the reference without the link.

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

Sure. I like alternate worlds.

[feuervogel]

Yay :D

Comment or PM me with the email address you want it to go to and what file format you want (I can do doc, rtf, pdf...)

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

e[dot]amundsen[at]gmail[dot]you know the rest.

[feuervogel]

I was wondering if you'd had a chance to crit this yet.

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Soon. By the middle of next week?

[feuervogel]

That works. As long as I can edit it & get it in before the call closes!

I'm not a very good beta, but I'd love to know what happens next :-)

[anacoluthon.livejournal.com]

I've got time to read it! Plus I like what you posted so far. :3

[matt_doyle]

I am sometimes a slow beta but I'm certainly willing to give it a shot!

[beth_leonard]

I'd love to know what happens next. Given the comments you made the last time someone beta'd something out-of-favored-genra perhaps I better just read it and not comment.

I think you're capable of commenting on something outside your usual genre without saying "you don't know how to write; you don't even know what science fiction is," which is what Mr. Only-Reads-Hard-SF said, pretty much verbatim. So it's not so much an issue with people reading outside their preferred genre as with said people insulting me rather than accept that other subgenres exist and are valid.
