Guidelines
If you post work here it can be viewed by anyone and found via search engine. For this reason, if you wish to publish your work at a later date you should post only short excerpts. I suggest two sorts of post: 1) seeking a beta-reader Post synopsis and short sample and ask people interested in helping you out to contact you by PM or email. I would expect this to work on a reciprocal basis -- do not expect to get a lot of help if you do not help out others! 2) Hit a snag A particular passage is causing you problems, post it in full for suggestions. In general, excerpts should not be longer than 1000 words. Avoid posting extensive explicit material as the forum is not age-restricted.

Wow, thanks. The information you put here is extremely helpful. I am greatful. K

Looking for a beta-reader...
I'm in the process of editing a series of three interconnected stories featuring a m/m/f relationship. I was hoping to start submitting them within a month or so, but I know they need a bit more work before they'll be ready. Anybody have time to help me out? Just so you know, I'm not a total newbie. I've written fan fiction for the better part of fifteen years, and I've just had two stories accepted for the Freya's Bower m/m anthology. I've gotten to the point in the editing process where everything's starting to run together. So, basically what I need here is another pair of eyes to look this over so I don't submit an MS that's completely incomprehensible! Best, bittermint

Helpin' you out
Hi bittermint, Sorry to have taken so long to respond to your post... but it is now that I have the time to help you out. So... if I can still be of some help, let me know. Kathleen
