Is anyone interested in alpha reading my current project?

Pitch:  There’s a boy with horns in the back of her yard only visible in Maggie’s photographs.   Sent away from his own plane, he tells her.  Trapped in hers.  She decides to help him without taking the time to consider maybe his exile wasn’t unjust at all.  Maybe he deserved it.  

And more.

I’ve got five chapters written, and they’re running short.  1400-1900 words.  I’ll probably be slogging out chapters at the rate of one or two per week through early fall.  Alpha reading just involves reading each chapter on google docs and leaving ‘first response’ comments.  It isn’t proofreading or wordsmithing.

If you’re interested, please send me an ask and I’ll pop the link to the first chapter off to you!

Thank you!

Alpha search

Okay. I managed to hash out an outline, so I'm at the point where I need a couple people to look at it. SPN is a new fandom for me, so I want to work out problems before I get too deep into writing.

Here's what I need:

a couple people

great with Supernatural canon

up-to-date on season 9

willing to read the outline (it isn't long, 13 bullet points)

point out anything that doesn't work

point out anything OOC

weed out cliche/overdone stuff

make suggestions about how to resolve what happened in 9x23 (for backstory purposes only; not happening in the actual fic)

make suggestions to make it a better read in general

(Optional) might want to alpha the actual fic as I'm writing?

What the fic is:

My entry for the deancasbigbang (I have a timeframe)

Canon divergent after season 9 (I mean, unless I'm psychic)

Estimated 30-40k range (outline is a few hundred words)

Domestic stuff (because that's my game)

Largely futurefic (kind of)

Includes mainly Dean, Cas, and Sam

If you're interested, please email fandomspeak {at} gmail or message me on Tumblr. I'd be so grateful!
