Test Readers Wanted

BillPratt · 02-07-2014

Looking for a few good people to look over a short script I've been toying with.

Synopsis:
Following the trap set by W.U.L.F. in issue 20, the leader of Strike Force (a daring, highly trained special mission force) is being held In Wolf's Head Castle for interrogation. Or is there some other evil scheme afoot? Find out this month in <TBD> comics.

How much looking over do you need, Bill? Like an in depth grammar and the like review? Or just plot and character synopsis review?

I'll do my best if you want a grammar review but despite being an author I'm pretty terrible at grammatical instances.

Not enough grammar in this to be worried about. Seriously, there are two lines of dialogue that the reader would see. The rest is character and staging descriptions.
What I'm interested in is:
Is it fun?
Is it good?
Do the characters and their actions make sense?
Can you visualize the scenes? Are there any areas that need more, less, or better description?

Not enough grammar? I LAUGH! FOR IT IS ALL GRAMMAR!

But sure, if you like I can take a look at it. My gmail is jeflint@gmail.com. I'll give it a read and give you my feedback.

Pardon my ignorance, but does this have to do with BE? I mean nothing against it, just wondering if this was merely put in the wrong forum.

BillPratt · 02-08-2014

Think, good sir, about what that hinted-at evil scheme could be. This seems like the best place to look for test readers.

Vengeance1701 · 02-08-2014

Ah, evil on then

Katsumend · 02-08-2014

I'd love to look it over

Metatron · 02-08-2014

I will take a read if you want.
Give you my input on it.

Sounds like fun.

SOrry, but I have to hold off for a day or two. Trying to find time to update the story with Janus Steel's comments, but work is murderous at the moment.

Finished the whole thing, incorporated comments on issue 21, and ready to unleash the beast on testers again.
