fencer_xHeeeeey, so I need some help.
Anybody wanna beta for an AU *pnish* fic? I usually make![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
analineblue do my bidding on big projects like CurryFic, but this one's not TxN (yet...? XD) and I dunno if she'd be up to reading through a bunch of crap about those boys when Nagayan isn't involved (YET..........?). Naturally, if she wants to still, it won't hurt to have more eyes looking it over, but I'd like at least one person who wants to be subjected to some AU *pnish* who can help me on a few different issues.
It's AU, but not really... More of a "one thing happens differently and the whole mess falls apart" what-if kinda deal, so the guys themselves are much the same, but their friendships and relationships with each other and in their own world are going to differ drastically. I'm hoping to make in my NaNoWriMo project, and am gathering momentum as I expect it'll be a task of some magnitude XD;
Things I'm going to mainly need help on:
--characterizations (in the beginning, most of them are teenagers; that's kind of a big difference XD; then of course you'd have to assess an interpretation of a relationship that doesn't exist IRL, like Wasshi and Nagayan meeting in a cast a hell of a lot earlier than MahaMo :D "Would X act like this when meeting Y for the first time without Z around?" kind of thing)
--timelines! (this may be asking a bit much, but at least if you see something REALLY weird, call me out on it :P Case in point: I almost mentioned Eiji's role as Ibu Shinji in 1997...when he didn't get Shinji's role until 2002. I want this to be as CLOSE to what happened in real life as possible, with the only changes being how people interact if they meet in different times and places, under different circumstances)
--spelling and grammar, durr :P
Soooooo, anyone wanna be my beta bitch for this thing? It's not gonna be ready any time terribly soon, probably, but just to get ready :)

Date: 2009-10-09 07:46 am (UTC)What kinda schedule are you thinking? I know you said NaNoWriMo writing, but would you need things beta'd like immediately after sending them for review, or would the beta be given a day or two leniency? I ask because that's the only problem I might foresee with taking on this job. I do still have classes and homework, as well as a part-time job. :X

Date: 2009-10-09 08:13 am (UTC)I always love reading your fics. I would love to get a "first peek" but then again I should probably not make extra excuses to not get my own NaNo done...
Mine has very skewed characterizations of some of the boys and combining some of their Prince of Tennis characters too. But they are my basis just my audience has no idea who they are. My husband and roommate just call them "my gay Japanese boys" Don't I wish they were mine! Anyway good luck with NaNoWriMo!

Date: 2009-10-09 12:47 pm (UTC)But yeah, I totally don't mind helping out on this, so if you want another set of eyes, feel free to send it my way too. I'm not so great with timelines myself, but I could certainly point out things that seem glaring and do grammar and stuff. Yup. :D
