seriousfic: (The motherfucking princess)

So I finished my YA novel last night, all 70K of it, and it's ready for polishing. I'm going for something of a Watchmen feel for it, because the YA genre, both TV and book, seems ripe for some deconstruction. I've never killed someone, but I watched Unforgiven and Clint Eastwood said it was a big deal, so perhaps when Merlin, on the BBC, flambees the sorcerer of the week, it is not wholly realistic that he then immediately goes back to having subtext with Arthur.

So if anyone would like to read a free book for the low, low price of some critique, especially if one has proofing knowledge of Tejanos, the Catholic Church, Texas, high school, or just really hating Smallville, comment.

And now that it's in polish mode, I'll be getting back to work on some LotS and Rizzoli & Isles fics.

I think I'm overqualified just because you just said my whole background right there (Tejano, raised Catholic, recent High school graduate, it's a little unnerving.)

Cool, what's your e-mail? (And I'll say ahead of time that I welcome all commentary on anything.)

It's alisoniteari@gmail.com.

I can turn it back to you with corrections in a week or so. Or do you want it shorter?

I can't offer much comment on Tejanos, Texas or high school - what with benig from the UK - but my grammar is good, and I read a LOT so I'd be honoured to beta for you.

My public address is khoryos@hotmail.com - would you prefer feedback per-chapter, or in a lump sum at the end?

Whichever you're more comfy with is fine.

I've lived in CC for most of my life.
I'm hispanic.
I was partially raised by an incredibly devout Catholic grandmother who has actually thrown Holy Water on me for very random reasons.
High school was a bitch, but I survived.
I watch Smallville mostly for the impossible amount of pretty people from one town and the Geoff Johns episodes. Not a fan of the storytelling.

Do I qualify? -crosses fingers-

Absolutely, what's your e-mail address?

All I've got experience on is high school, and given that I live in the Bahamas, may not be the best judge.

As much as I'd like to, I don't think I'm up for it, what with the moving in less than a month and all. Sorry.

Sorry, it got diverted to my junk folder and I only just noticed - will start on it today.
