Beta Request

Hello F-list!

I am wondering if one of you would like to beta my Sanctuary/H.G. Wells fic. There are spoilers for season two of Warehouse 13, but if you don't watch the show, you shouldn't be too out of the loop. Mostly, I need someone to make sure that a) it makes sense and b) I haven't typed "Helen" when I meant to type "Helena", and vice versa. The fic is about 10K. It will be done shortly, and I am hoping to start posting on Wednesday.

Comments are screened, so you can leave your email address, or if you already have my email address, just drop me a line.

Thanks!

Book #10: Ship Breaker, by Paolo Bacigalupi

vaguely post-apocalyptic (but not in the way you're thinking), I'm glad I broke the "don't read award winners" rule, a book about a boy, heavily thematic, invented language, invented religion, really needed a map, kind of a downer, never going to New Orleans, is there such a thing as post-steampunk?

This book was recced by m_stiefvater a few days ago, so I went and bought it. And I really enjoyed it, actually, more than I was expecting to. It was a lot...deeper than I was expecting, but at the same time, it didn't suffer under the weight of its own themes. This is the kind of YA book that makes "legitimate fiction" sit up and take notice because it's better.

( Spoilers! )

I think this one gets a 10. It's a stealthy 10, but I can't even bring myself to dock points for not giving me a map.
