A plea for help

[niektete.livejournal.com]

Hallo-allo-allo! How is everyone doing this lovely evening?

I have a request for a Jooster adviser. See, the thing is, whenever I start getting the hang of a new fandom - like now with J&W - I start writing fic like mad, with nary a thought for the mental well-being of the fandom I'm spamming XD This is the case. And now I've got a new fic going, but the problem is - it's a total shambles. It started out as a pretty clear idea, and turned into chaos. No coherency. And it's long, too XD

So, I'm looking for someone who will read it, and advise me what to do with the thing. I'm strongly tempted to just delete the whole fic and rewrite it, but I'm not sure I have the motivation, so I'm afraid of just deleting it, period, ha ha! ^^ No grammar/spelling skills are required; I just need a second opinion - a Jooster reader's opinion - about the fic's future.

Well... any volunteers? :)

Cheers,
froggy

How long is it at the moment, and what genre is it?

[niektete.livejournal.com]

It's a new genre I've invented: FAP (Fluff And Porn) XD And so far, I'm at around 8,000 words. But then again, people here give the impression of liking long fic? :)

I offer my services, if you'll have me. My email's camaden[at]gmail[dot]com.

[niektete.livejournal.com]

Yes, please :) The story is emailed to you ^^

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

I've got the email, and I'll settle in and read it soon. :)

I'd love to help out.

I don't write Jooster. I am an avid reader however and am pretty well up on canon (having read all the books and watched the series), and have beta'd for a few other people.

My only problem is that I'm in the middle of studying or four Alevels and am pretty busy with a fic of my own, so I might not be able to reply to you promptly, but I wouldn't keep you waiting for too long either.

So drop me a line if you want my help.

Thanks you ^^ I've sent it off to three people now; I think that's enough for the moment, but it's very good of you to offer :)

I'm another willing set of eyes, should you wish to have more than one opinion.

[smutnazi.livejournal.com]

As am I willing to be a secondary set. Don't trust me as a definitive voice, as I've yet to finish off all of canon, and am wading my way through it slowly but surely. (I have to intersperse Wodehouse with something darker, lest my teeth rot of my head from all the sweetness and innocence, and love that's in Wodehouse.), but I'm always willing to lend a hand in guiding plots along, as that seems to be the only thing I'm good at.

[niektete.livejournal.com]

I would love your opinion! The plot wasn't all that strong to begin with, so I'd like some guidance for it :) Should I send it to you, perhaps?

[smutnazi.livejournal.com]

Go right ahead...either through lj or to goddessofsnark@gmail.com

*squees* Thanks! *goes to email*

I'm good with concepts, relevant questions, characterization, and figuring out why things suck. If you'd like, send it on to ihavewillsmithinmycar[at]live[dot]com. A tale hangs to the address.

Thanks so much! Story is underway :)
