Howdé

Back in January, Aramina got some folks to critique a chunk of novel around here, so I thought I'd try something similar.

Got a (dark, mildly Angel-esque) fantasy short story (about 10,000 wds), and I wondered if anyone would be willing to beta-read before I send it out. I'm worried that the ending may be a bit dark (don't want to be upbeat, 'cause happy endings are clichéed, but don't wanna be too dark 'cause I'll depress the editors and they won't buy it ). I figure, since Firefly(/Buffy/Angel) fans are such a discriminating and artistically critical lot, I'd look here.

Lemme know if anyone's interested and I'll email it.

Heck, I'd be happy to read it for you. Problem is, I'm rather new here, so I'm not sure how to go about giving you my e-mail address without letting the world see it.

Also, I love a good dark ending.

The way you'd go about sending him your email is click on his screen name. That'll take you to his personal info, and on the left hand side is a place to send him a message.
Good luck! Oh, and let me know if the stoy is any good, becasue if it sucks, I'm not gonna buy it. :big grin:

Hey, Ath, have you tried to reach me? I ask 'cause I've had experience of Cyberus auto-kilfiling people for no apparent reason.
