Beta Readers Request Thread! (3)

1 Name: Felis : 2017-09-11 21:43 ID:laLvl0OV [Del]

Okay, so I know that there have been plenty of short-lived threads about getting reads on Wattpad or Quotev etc. but I still want to try this.

This is a thread for writers to connect with readers, especially because Dollars supporting Dollars is always a good thing. Writers, please note the post guidelines below if you want this thread to be useful to prospective readers, and Readers, thank you for existing and thank you for any time you choose to give to the below hopefuls.

POSTING GUIDELINES:

1. Be sure to include TITLE, GENRE, a *brief* BLURB, and a link (to Wattpad or whatever site), as well as any warnings about graphic content etc. Make sure to sell your story well! This is your chance to get reads, give it your best shot!

2. If there are specific story elements you especially want a reader to lookout for/give you feedback on, note that as well

3. Thank the reader. Life is rough for a writer without them

I'll start!

TITLE:
Beta 12 (hence my need for beta readers *wink wink*)

GENRE:
Science Fiction/Adventure

BLURB:
"A virtual reality video game, a brother who needs saving, a freckle-faced girl, her boy who doesn't exist, a lion master, a vengeful thief, a civil war, and some fancy armor. And of course, no way out."

It's a sci-fi adventure through a fantasy VRMMORPG! You've got your vast open world, killer gameplay mechanics, high stakes main quest line, and an abundance of tragic backstories! But really, it's about a girl who wants to save her brother from a coma, and the game she must play to save everyone else.

Please check it out if you love adventures and/or video games and/or saving the world and/or destroying it. I'm looking for feedback on character believability and overall pacing. You can reach me at felis.dollars@gmail.com or comment directly on Wattpad! Thank you for your time!

First of all, THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!!! GENIUS!!!!

Next, my own story.

TITLE:
A two sided mystery

GENRE:
Murder/Mystery

BLURB:
When murders start in the city, the entire force is stuck trying to catch the killer. No matter what they do, the killer seems to be one step ahead. Detective Daniel Shane is put on the case with his partner, Andrew Tuber, with no leads, no ideas, no suspects, and no clues. But the more he investigates, the more the mystery deepens. Why does he kill? How does he choose who to kill?

But most of all, who is Joey?
Has Daniel finally found a case that he is unable to solve? Or will the answer shock him forever.

It's a mystery story that follows the detective pair Andrew and Daniel. Before reading, note that Daniel is a little scatterbrained. Andrew is brilliant at acquiring information, but not so good at solving cases. On the other hand, Daniel is hopeless at finding, and remembering, anything, but he has deductive skills that are ridiculous.
