Beta-reader query

[winter]

Hello, everyone :) I'm new to Coldfire - I finished the Trilogy this Sunday and immediately started to write fic. Since I'm so new to the fandom, I'm not entirely confident about it.

Does anyone have the time to take a look at the first chapter (just over 6,000 words) of a post-Trilogy fic? I'd be looking primarily for comments on the accuracy of my characterisations (Gerald, Damien, Narilka and Andrys) and canon nitpicking, though any other constructive criticism will also be welcome. I'm not a native speaker, but I've been writing fanfiction in English in various fandoms for over 10 years and posting my stories online for almost five of them; people seem to like them, so I trust my writing's not too horrid.

Needless to say, if anyone can find the time to give my story a quick look-see, I'll be eternally grateful :)

Well, not much of a hurry, since I'm watching the ice skating as well ;) If you could take a look at my fic over the next few days, that'd be great - your LJ e-mail, I assume, and would a 81KB Word file be okay, or would you prefer .txt or zipped?

*makes note of another potential reader for her Tanz/Phantom crossover >:)*

Fine by me, then! I seem to end up beta-ing more Coldfire fics as time passs. It would be strange, were I not enjoying it so much. Still, better get anotehr person to have a look at it as well. Two opinions are always better than one, and I'm biased where Gerald is concerned. *laughs*

Word file to LJ email address is fine - it forwards stuff to my Yahoo address anyway.

Crossover? Sounds very interesting indeed! ^_^ Let me know when it's ready!

Mail sent :) And I'll let you know about the crossover, once I manage to convince Krolock that he doesn't need another impressionable teenager and Christine's better off un-vampirised...
