(To the inevitable questions about the timestamp: I woke up early because it's
hot. After I finish posting this, I'm going to take a shower.)
Firstly, I'd like to mention that this is entirely a
Card Captor Sakura-related thing, so if you're not interested in CCS fanfic, this is probably not going to be of much use to you. Sorry.
Now. Seeing as I'm horrible and I haven't been very good at writing long fanfic recently, I'd like to try this method of betaing my fanfics.
- I'll be posting the fanfic parts on this LJ, and I may or may not be putting them under a filter. I'm not sure if I should, since I'm not arrogant enough to think that it's going to be a zOMG!spoiler if anyone sees some parts ahead of actual release time, but I don't want to clutter up friendspages with random fanfic chapters in progress. Comments? Opinions?
- If I do put it under a filter, then if you'd be interested in being part of that filter, please say so in this post. If not, then, well, never mind. Keep in mind that it's not exactly a waiwai perfect preview of the fanfic; if you're in the filter, then you should expect to see the fanfic in its first draft, likely to change and be altered in various ways. You'll be seeing many many many versions of the same section, as many as it takes before I'm happy with it. In effect, if you're in the filter, then you'll be betaing the fanfic, not just previewing it. You're obviously not obligated to make any detailed comments if you're on the filter; this is just a warning that whatever appears there will not be polished.
- The fanfic in question is a CCS/2001 crossover fusion. Kind of. Kinda-sorta spoilers for probably the whole CCS series, and major spoilers for up to at least
2010: Second Odyssey. The Wikipedia entry for
2001 is
here, along with links to the sequels at the bottom. (And if you're really interested for some reason, the related Wikipedia entry for CCS is
here, although I have to mention that there are plenty of other, better sources of information.) Detailed knowledge of both canons is not necessary, but useful. (Yes, this is what I wanted the books for.)
- I'll be putting the tag "fos" (for the title: "Full of Stars") for all posts related to this, and also sticking it in an appropriate memory.
- Do not, repeat DO NOT, expect any sort of schedule for releases.
Suggestions on refining the above guidelines welcome. I'm not sure whether anyone is even interested in this sort of thing, so if I get no replies or no signs of interest, I'll just make the filter anyway, and look for interested parties in this post.
