BETA READER WANTED:

Ok, for those of you interested in “Out of the Ordinary”, I’m just going to confess that my writer’s block isn’t exactly writer’s block. It’s more of a “Chapter Stuck”. There’s just one or three parts in the next chapter that I’m having problems on and I can’t seem to find a Beta that will last more than a month. (No offence to Saru and Stars; you guys did help me, but you ether had too much on your plate or just up and “died” (so to speak).)

So, in plain terms I am in DESPERATE need of a Beta. UNDERLINE "DESPRERATE"!

You don’t have to have good grammar skilz, you don’t have to have written 5+ stories, the things I need in a beta are as follows:

A: Is good with Dialogue; I’m good with narration but my dialogue sucks.

B: Has a small knowledge of ether Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek or both. Seeing as OotO has a ton of references to those two, I’m gonna need someone with at least a tiny bit of knowledge on one of those. I’m not talking about something ridiculous, just something simple.

C: Can write at least 1000 words…Ok, this one isn’t that clear; but basically my main concern is that I have this one part with dialogue that I have no capability in writing but has to be written. So I need someone to pretty much co-write this one chapter with me. I always set standards for myself and write at a MINIMUM of 1,500 words per chapter. This chapter is 3/4ths of the way done in plot but not in dialogue and characterization. So, I need someone who can write at least that much.

And finally, D: (With no offence to those of you who fall under this category) ABSOLUTELY NO TWILIGHT WRITERS! NO, UNEXEPTABLE, NOT PERMITTED, BANNED, etc, etc. (Sorry, I just had a REALLY bad experience with one beta that was and it turned my plot into a mushy cliché’ Twilight parody. I had to re-think everything all over again.)

All those who still think they can help, please send me a line ASAP, so we can get this thing moving again.
