Hi all Whilst bored today I opened up the finished draft of a story of mine and fell back in love with it a bit. It needs a lot of work and polish, but I'd love to try and edit it some point soon. In that light, would I have any interested Betas? Or even readers to just give me impressions of 'this could be good/this sucks worse than eggs'? A brief synopsis is below (some of you may know this from JanNo/when I first appeared on Steve) Traitor's PathSomarrenge is not a good man. Traitor to the crown and infamous from the capital to the Chenna Desert, he has been on the run for too long. Newly escaped from prison, he plans to put an end to running once and for all being either killing the King or dying in the attempt. But when he takes a local noble's family hostage to secure himself a base he finds himself strangely intrigued by the man's son. Castanan is everything he is not - loyal, soft and kind. As they travel together on his selfish, obsessive quest Somarrenge finds himself changing. Castanan claims he will stop Somarrege from his goal, one way or another. Somarrenge would like to see him try. The fate of the Royal Family hangs in the balance. I do have to confess the story is 104k long so be prepared if you are interested! No pressure on timings, depth of help etc. would just love some external feedback!

I really liked your first draft back when it was still Show Me How To Live, and would love to read this. Is this a newer draft?

Wooo yay Siana! And Agent! Yes this is a newer draft - fixed some gaps, changed the POV etc. I'd say it's draft 1.5? Have you got an email address I can send the document to?

I'll read it, if you don't mind me 'ooh'ing and 'aw'ing at everything because that's all I do when I read your stuff And is this the story where a group was on a boat escaping a prison or something and there was that one character that got murdered and I was sad and uh... that was yours, right? -scratches head- And dear god, Jᴀy V. Aꜱᴛᴇʀ 💀🐍, what an email xD

Wheeeeeee!
I originally started that email account as a joke. It's grown its own identity since then, and it's a bit disturbing... XD
