So... I could use some help
May. 24th, 2010 01:16 amI'm working on a fic. It started as a lighthearted mildly smutty drabble. It changed into a serious actual fic. Not quite sure how, though I can identify my original inspiration.
I could use a beta. Definitely for the typical spelling/grammer/stupid mistakes/etc stuff, but also especially for a privilege check, since the fic deals with recovering from and living with a disability. I have done research, both using medical texts/studies and reading personal accounts, but I am still an abled author attempting to write about a disabled character experiencing a trauma that really does exist and affects people today (spinal cord injury, specifically). More than wanting to post a fic that I like and want to share, I don't want to hurt actual people out there with an unintentional but but still-hurtful interpretation of situations and/or experiences that I've never had myself.
So yeah, anyone feel up for/interested in being a reality check?
Fic details: Star Trek fandom, slash, rated adult.
