Beta Readers Needed

It was Snow White after all which threw me for a big loop, let me tell you. I had the basic outline of a Little Mermaid story all sorted, but no matter just another story for another day.

I bounced back and forth with my ideas for a bit, which was worrying because with all the other contests I started writing as soon as it was announced. I have actually been outlining this time, which I'm sure won't last so don't get too excited. I'm going to try though, I really want to have a good ending. I feel since this is the last time I need to go out with a bang.

I even have a writing partner this time, shout out to you Elizabeth. Hopefully we can keep each other on track.

I have two ideas, and I have the crazy idea to enter both.You are allowed to enter more than once, and I mean twice the shot right. So I might do that, considering one I have already started, and the other is an idea that will probably need a month of research to accomplish.

If I can finish both I will do that, but if it's just one well then that is fine too. My two ides are very different from each other. One is set in a circus and Snow is a circus clown. Sounds stupid I know, but it has a fey element. The Pinterest board for it is here Falling Snow

The other one is set in a fantasy version of Japan and has Samurai and Geisha's. Also a pretty good twist if I do say so myself. That board is here The Geisha

Any way so, I realized I never did a beta call or anything. So consider this it, if any of you are interested. Even if you have never done it before, or grammar is not your thing. Comment if your interested. I like having lots of different kinds of feedback, it really helps me challenge myself.

If your doing the Five Poisoned Apples contest, let me know. I would be happy to return the favor.
