But I'm Too Afraid To Really Seek One Out - Tumblr Posts

I'm working on a multichapter fic, and I'd like to start publishing it soon, but I'm having a bit of an existential crisis.

It's been suggested that a beta could be useful and I agree with that, though I feel at a loss of how to find one. I'd like someone who could point out issues with phrasing, word usage, who could tell me if i need to include a bit more clarity or if I'm getting a little too verbose, etc.

At the same time, it'd be nice to have someone to talk to about the fic, maybe fling some ideas for plot points around a bit with, etc.

I guess I'm a little intimidated about asking anyone for help as a beta, though, since this would be a fairly long term project until I'm ultimately finished with it.

I guess I don't want anyone to feel obligated to have to put in so much effort for me. 🥴 IDK
