Looking for a Beta/Co author for an AO3 Fanfic. See Details.
Looking for a Beta or Co-Author from the trans community to help with a fic I plan to write for AO3.
The fic is a oneshot for the Merlin BBC fandom, the ship is Merthur but in this story Merlin is a trans man who ran away from his own royal family because they wouldn't accept him, and is about to be found out cause his birth fam showed up in Camelot for reasons I won't divulge here.
it is heavily inspired by this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/26950681
However while I am not cisgender, I am not trans either. Nor have I had to deal with the struggles people from the trans community deal with.
As such I am looking for either a beta or coauthor from the transgender community to help me make sure that I accurately portray the struggles that Merlin has to deal with. Must have gmail as I use google drive to write my fics and one-shots and will need to share the document with you.
As I am writing this there is no draft or work text for the fic. Only a detailed plot outline.
If you are interested send me a DM on insta. Username styxhuntress. Please include the following in your message.
Whether you want to co author or simply beta the one-shot.
If you want to co author the fic please provide a link to where ever it is that you post your own fics, assuming you do post your own fics. If you do not post fanfics I would appreciate a small writing sample (100-200 words) as I want to find someone who's writing style goes well with my own.
How much experience you have as a beta (if you plan to purely beta read the fic.)
