#beta reader search

Im writing a post canon byler fic, and my ADHD has been making proofreading this (Making sure i'm not adding plot holes, and making sure it's good in general) feels like nails on a chalkboard. I don't write chapters very frequently, so I would most likely only need beta reading every other month or so, but I'm trying to get more consistent with chapter updates, and if I can avoid having to reread my own writing 20 different times it would be an absolute blessing.

The fic is linked below! I will warn there are definintely a couple TW's that you should look at before reading this fic, but if your interested in beta reading please leave a comment on this post and I'll reach out soon!

So yeah, if anyone would like to help me out, pls let me know, I would really appreciate it! More details about the fic under the cut if you'd like to know more!

Hey! I'm Cryptid, and I'm working on an animated pilot called Circus of Strings. I have a script written, but I need people willing to read it and give feedback and advice so I can make it better.

I am accepting people of any experience level, don't be scared!

It's about a circus where The Ringmaster has physical control over the five other members with magic puppet strings. It's character and relationship driven, and will likely have long seasons that are mainly episodic, but with serialised character arcs.

The characters are: Ruffles, a hardworking clown with teen angst; Spiral, an anxious perfectionist contortionist; Fawn, a gentle lion tamer; Ariel, a closed off acrobat; Sparkle, an annoying magician who's a bit of a bully; and The Ringmaster, who is the one in control, and a little bit crazy.

If that sounds interesting to you, keep reading to find out more!

— pleeeease have discord!!!

— i dont mind working with <18 people too much, but keep in mind im a minor!!! so <18 would be better

— have an account on ellipsus!! that's how ill be sending u the fic to beta

— im BROKE and UNEMPLOYED so i unfortunately cannot pay you in any way. i also wanna stress im not looking for any sort of professional assistance, this is a FANFIC you guys.. so only volunteer if you're up for some free work here and there. truly no pressure, you can be totally unqualified — as long as you like yuri, know what kpdh is, and are somewhat literate, we can work💗

— i dont have a full manuscript, i have a rough outline and will be posting chapter by chapter as i write them! so yeah dont expect a full fic

i'd also love to ask you for advice or maybe to help me with the plot here and there so if you'd be up to do that that would be super swag too!!!! so yeah if you're interested comment below this post or dm me 🦖

This is my first time doing this sort of thing. My writing style is very blunt and I think my pacing is rather fast.

I write for Minecraft, the videogame, NOT the YouTubers. I write in other fandoms too but I have nothing to be beta read there as of now.

Been reading a lot lately, and I'm reminded how much a good story stays with you. The way a character's voice can feel real. The way a plot twist can make you go back and reread everything. Just appreciating writers today.

🪲 beta reader search 🪲

In The Scholar & The Unbound (92k words long, romantic fantasy), a magicless scholar and a wayward paladin pair together to brave an arduous religious competition. You can expect:

a brilliant, grumpy scholar who lost his magic

a charming paladin with more power than he can control

a soul-bond that will allow them to share magic (and bind them closer than they bargained for)

a weird little girl possessed by a violent creature

a surrogate father/daughter relationship

pining men who need to learn to trust each other (and themselves)

healing, hurt/comfort, all the feels

a dangerous magical competition

a magic system that transforms the laws of physics

a critique of the elitism and colonialism of academia

Interested? Being a beta reader means reading the draft and filling in three feedback forms over the course of your reading. It’s not about fixing spelling mistakes, just telling me what you thought of the story. :) I don’t have a firm deadline, but I would like this to take about a month, two at most.

The link to sign up is here 🪲 Thank you! ❤️
