Looking for a beta/co-author

[littlequeer-43.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone,

This will actually be my first time writing a story and I already have all these ideas in my head and everything, I just need help putting them down on paper(so to speak). I would really greatly appreciate it if someone could help me write the story. Please oh please if you would ever be so kind.

What you probably want is a beta, someone who reads what you've written checking for continuity problems, grammar, and so on, not what you seem to be asking for which is someone to actually write the story for you. I've tried to beta but I'm not good at it because, as a writer, I want to be more controlling of someone else' story than I should be. Maybe try looking for a beta but only after you've actually have a decent story written down.

Writing isn't easy or quick. I've taking several months to a year to work out a story. Take your time, get your ideas down in a decent order and then ask for a beta to help you tighten your story down.

Make sense??

I need you to change your subject line to something specific to your request, and preferably without the all-caps. Maybe "Seeking beta and/or co-author"? (Or one or the other of those, if you're sure which you want.) Thanks.

If not beta, perhaps a co-writer ...

I sent you a message from my LJ account about this.
Good luck!
