Temporary beta request

LADIES.

Okay, so here's the deal: my next writing project is huuuge and convoluted. Normally I wouldn't say my writing was beta-suitable, because frankly, I make up a lot of words (I love me some compound adjectives), but I'm verrrry aware of wanting to do this absolutely right.

So, would anybody like to take a look at the prologue I have for House of Cards, and just give me some really brutally honest feedback on it? I'm not looking for typo checking as such (although I'm sure they're there, so if you see them, holla) but just a sense of...I dunno, whether or not there's something you would do differently.

I'd also like to compare some notes on how this fic is going to go, so maybe don't go for this job if you ain't happy with a few spoilers!

Yes, this is a big and ridiculous ask, so gird your loins, ladies.

ThanksBYE

heya^^
I'll be more than happy to have a look at your fic(though I've never actually beta-ed before but I'll try my best to give you some constructive criticism)~! What is the fic on?

Thaaaank you!

So, I'm trying to remember if you read 'Protect Me'...essentially, this fic is the prequel to that. There's a lot of details to get right to make sure that this new fic slots into that world!

Oh thanks, but I don't wanna put you out by making you read that whole long thing!
I always find myself thinking that from fic to fic I've improved, but my favourite one ever was The Glasshouse. I think I hit a plateau with that, thinking about it, so I decided to go back to that kind of style.
Darkfic forever!
