Any #feminists up for #betareading my current #wip #shortstory?
Sadly, no money being offered, but you do get to #read something probably enjoyable

@alice @h3mmy do you have any really geeky friends who might like #betareading a few chapters of a science fiction novel I'm busy writing?
Bonus would be someone with an astrophysics kink

Sure, I am happy for anyone to sign up for my two ... actually ... three books that are now in beta and ready for readers.
I am also happy for #readers to announce here what they are interested in, and for other #writers to announce what they have ready for #betareading
Mine:
1. Short story collection like this: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/series/the-screw-turns-1
2. Sequel to "Book of Joy" https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-book-of-joy-8
3. Business non-fiction book on knowledge audits -
And I'd also like to pass this on to the beta readers and editors among you as a suggestion: if you beta-read or edit manuscripts that deal with such an ‘unhappy love triangle’, please feel free to pass on my suggestion to the respective authors.
Research tip: You can find more information about polyamory, open relationships and relationship anarchy for instance on Wikipedia.

A one-time offer for an individual, or perhaps individuals, to beta read a short story.
The cost of such an offer?
A promise of considered feedback on the tale, its format and content.
"PALADIN" is about 9K words and it's a fantasy developed around daily #VSS365 words over a period of a few months (back on the bird site as was).
It contains war, and creatures from the depths of hell (as might be expected for a Paladin), some of the content may cause offence.
Any takers?

CW: A mutual aid request from someone I know - includes mention of pet death, and a list of kinks in the context of commissions
Copying and pasting a thread from Bluesky! The original thread is here: https://bsky.app/profile/gqueercatboy.bsky.social/post/3lunih5gnk22l
Please consider boosting this post and/or the Bluesky thread, or even donating or getting a commission! I'm in the same circles as gqueercatboy and I'm really cheering for them to get through this.
Thread text follows:
Our bank account is in the negatives and we're trying to get out of the hole created by our cat dying-- we have #OpenCommissions #WritingCommissions #BetaReading all available https://bsky.app/profile/gqueercatboy.bsky.social/post/3ltxei62zts2j any fandoms we've written for, any pairings, T - E ratings all okay. Most kinks okay, polyam okay.
We're also accepting donos-- https://ko-fi.com/combatwombatsofficial We're grateful for everyone who's helped, and we're close to being out of this mess. (The euthanasia cost over $400, insult to injury.) If anyone feels like sharing, we appreciate it. We're trying to raise $50-75. #MutualAid #TransMutualAid
Ideally we'd raise the last $300 of our kofi goal, to offset the debt we've gotten from losing our old man kitty, but the immediate concern is our phone + overdraft fees. I'm serious when I say I'm willing to write + beta whatever depraved shit you want, lmao. Or poetry, emails, your homework, w/e.
^ end of thread
Quoted thread text follows:
It's a bad time right now, so we're opening up writing comms. 100 word min (any dono), 1k word min ($15-$25), 2k word min (over $25). Sadly we need to cap it at ~3k words because disability is literally a pain, but we'll do our very best to give you something lovely.
Our strongest suit is m/m pairings, with ETL, hurt/comfort, fix-its, canon divergence, fluff, light angst/pining, and "trapped in a cave/elevator/closet" themes being our favorites. The fandoms we are most comfortable writing for are Supernatural, Hazbin, Teen Wolf, various MCU things,
Arrowverse, and Stranger Things. We prefer SFW prompts but are willing to fade-to-black spicier prompts. We're not comfortable writing underage, watersports/scat, noncon (dubcon is okay!), gore, animal abuse, or major character death.
Examples of our writing: https://archiveofourown.org/users/WroughtBetwixt
(And sincerely, I'm willing to write for any fandom that's already on my AO3! As long as I know the characters well enough, I'll do it.)
Feel free to DM here if you're interested!

Thank you for looking or sharing with any interested parties!

I finished Book Three's edits! It's out with betas now, woo! I thought of a much stronger (I think) ending for it too, so I'm excited to see what people think. In the meantime, Book Four is calling me to finish its rewrite, but first, I have two betas to read that I'm eager to find out what happens next in.

Look what I just got! AM Stuart liked my comments as an ARC reader of the ebook, so she sent me a print copy.

@Matthewvanm We’re trying to get a constructive circle of supportive writers together every week using the #FeedbackFriday hashtag. I also hope #mastodon develops a #betareading community but I’ve had some success asking / badgering volunteers so far! 👍
