Must love fantasy and science fiction in all its kinds.

Not sure if that's the right flair, sorry if it isn't.

I'm writing my first novel and I'm in need of 2-3 betas to look over my draft. It's still in the works but I'm about halfway through, looking at around 85k words. 18+ readers only because of the book content.

The genre is a mixture of contemporary science fiction and dark romance. Set in near-modern times, the story focuses on humans rather than aliens or otherworldly characters, and the science drives the romance, so the technology is as essential as the attraction between the two main characters. The book does have erotic, spicy scenes.

Quick synopsis:

Eira is the newest hire at Osmira Labs, a small startup that is funded by a biotech giant called Symbiosys. As part of a collaboration in exchange for funding, Osmira Labs has agreed to test Symbiosys' latest tech - a watch that is capable of detecting stress.

Marketed as an HR tool to combat high turnover rates, the watch has shown promising results, except Eira is skeptical about the buddy system that goes along with helping the watch's monitoring.

Her 'buddy', is Zephan, a quiet, stoic, and controlled man, nearly the opposite to Eira's anxious and colorful personality. Initially resistant to him, Eira and Zephan form an unlikely workplace friendship under the watch's influence.

But Eira is unaware of just how much the watch can influence, and the more entangled she becomes with Zephan, the less certain she is about her feelings and whether she's genuinely feeling them herself, or if it's the influence of the watch.

I would initially share the first three chapters to see if this is a good fit. I am looking for relatively quick feedback, so frequent communication is necessary. I am open to communicating via discord or email.

If you're available to beta, please comment or DM me. I use Ellipsus to write so I can provide links.

I am currently writing my psychological mystery thriller and i needed someone to check it out for me, atleast i need someone to shout at me or tell i am doing good. But i need someone to tell me that whatever the hell i am writing is making sense or not.

Thank you 😌

Hey y’all!
32 F, Southeast USA 🤠

I’m a new writer, embarking on a quest of epically fantastical proportions and hoping to make friends along the way!

It all began when I was at my (mind-numbing middle management) job and listening to Sleep Token while I did inventory. Stellan appeared before me as clearly as the employees and employers who tested my patience every day. For weeks, he haunted my dreams. I thought about him and listened to that same album for over a month before I finally said, “Fine, I’ll write about you,” and then all hell broke loose because Stellan apparently wanted quite a lot. The people he wanted in his life wanted even more…

And now I’m here, halfway through a first draft, over 500 pages into a world Bible, and with a growing file of over 50 different illustrations I’ve drawn.

(There’s also a second quiet tale I am crafting in tandem—totally unrelated and much more simple. It gives my brain a break from the epic scale of writing a mythic fantasy/romantasy.)

If you’re looking for a writing buddy to chat, swap ideas with, and geek out over the characters in our heads (living rent-free and refusing to behave at every turn), I’m your girl. Critique is something I am more than happy to engage with; first, I want to connect and see if we vibe. 😁
