Looking for an beta reader, please

[TarnishedPenny]

I'm a reasonably-well established writer here, with generally good grammar and spelling. I have a sci-fi tale almost done for the AI: A New Era 2026 event. It will come in at rather over 20k words and is set in a post-Singularity world, with the protagonist reacting primarily and verbally with the Singularity, but also physically with two men, one at a time. It starts slowly and there's nothing kinky, just pretty normal M/F sex. I would appreciate hearing from anybody willing to take a look at it. Thanks.

Thank you. May I have a suitable email address, please? I don't think one can attach those to the DMs. It will in any case be a week or two. It needs some tuning first.

... as in "an beta reader"..?

Probably started out to ask for an editor, then decided on a beta reader, and the "an" slipped through.

Pretty much. The need is pretty obvious.

Sent in a DM for whenever you're ready

Since when does a close reading of text equate generally to
invariably?

Good grammar and spelling don’t preclude typos, at least where my old fingers are concernd.

@TarnishedPenny, I got your story by email and managed to read it today so I've emailed you back with my thoughts and a copy of the document with some tracked changes and comments. Hope it's of some help and good luck with the event.

@TarnishedPenny, I've also been working on a sci-fi tale of AI gone very wrong. Well, two actually. But for the contest, I think I'll use my story Prototype (not the full title) if I can get it done and off to my editor in time for the event. Shouldn't be a problem. It's on the publication schedule for Amazon and ZBS for next month. That was before I started writing it. The version for Amazon is less graphic than for ZBS, but I think either would work for her.
