Beta-reader required...

I was hoping to find some-one to beta-read 2 one-shot stories for me, sometime in the next week or so.

One story contains rough-sex and what might be considered dub-con (although within the story context it isn't actually dub-con), and light BDSM, as well as anal, oral & wanking. Not sure about length yet.

The other story includes fairly standard slash-sex - oral, anal, wanking - no rough stuff! It's approx. 3000 words.

I'm particularly looking for some-one who could offer constructive criticism and make suggestions, rather than a simple spelling/grammar checker.

Neither story is ready for reading yet, I'm working on them now. One is almost complete.

Thank you!

Two quick things:

1) If you have registered for an account at the Snupin Santa Fest archive, and you want to receive review notifications for your Snupin Santa stories/art, all you have to do is log in, go to "Account Info" (the link will be in the light green bar at the top of the page), and then go to "Edit Preferences". Once you're on the "edit preferences" page, click the box next to "Contact for new reviews", scroll down, and click "submit". After that, you'll receive notification for new feedback to the email address you used when you registered.

2) I'm extending the deadline for uploading stories from 2005/2006 until January 31. If you're an artist, you just need to register for an account and let me know what your user name is so I can create a post for you because all 2005/2006 art is already uploaded to the site.

If you're a writer who participated in Snupin Santa 2005/2006, however, and you're still in the ship and are in fact reading this post right now and you haven't uploaded your stories, PLEASE do so before January 31.

Because I will be very cross with anyone who takes advantage of me by waiting until I've uploaded their stories and then asking me to flip the posts to their account, thus letting me do all their work for them after I've just finished busting my butt with almost 100 participants and gifts for Snupin Santa 2007. That is Not Cool, people. (ETA: And I'll also tell you, "I'm sorry, but I gave you two opportunities and plenty of time to do it along with an explanation of how to do it, so I'm not taking requests to switch posts to your account".)

But McKay, you might protest, I'm not a slacker! I just don't know how to upload my story to the site!

Well, never fear. I've written up a lengthy and detailed description of how to register AND how to upload a story, and it's right here on the site's Help page. You can follow that guide, and it will walk you through the process step by step and click by click.

So there you go.

On January 31, I will close the site to outside submissions (meaning from anyone other than an administrator), and the site will remain closed until I've finished uploading all the rest of the 2005/2006 gifts. Since I'll be working on it on my own time, I have no idea how long it will take, and I'm not going to set any deadlines, but the fewer gifts I have to upload myself, the sooner the site will be opened up so you can edit your stories and art again.

Hello, Fellow Snupiners!

I posted my Snupin-Santa story without having it beta-read, and now that the reveals are up I am hoping someone might be interested in reading it through for me.

Generally, I need help with punctuation use... commas in particular. I tend to use them stupidly. But I would aslo like constructive criticism of any nature.

If you want to look it over before agreeing, you can read it here
It's PG-13 with no particular warnings.

Comment here, or E-mail me at Stoicstella at Yahoo dot Com if you are interested in helping me out with this.

Thanks in advance.
