shameless begging

Hi, darling Flist...

I seem to recall that several of you volunteered (fools!) to be sounding boards/readers/betas for the Epic Fic of Doom. It's going very slowly, but I'm going to have a first chunk done this week and I'd love for someone to agree to have a look at it (at this stage it really doesn't have to be a proper beta) and let me explain at you where I'm thinking it's going.

Just for info: it's the first of a trilogy which runs pretty much up to and through Arthur's reign. Obviously I'm intending to incoporate bits of the legend. It's Merlin/Arthur overall, but has various pairings along the way (in this one, most noticeably Merlin/Morgana/Arthur). It also will contain NC17 scenes (het and slash) so please don't volunteer if that makes you uncomfortable.

If you are willing to be a volunteer/victim please leave me a comment or email me at aleathiel@gmail.com

PS. Even if you aren't volunteering please nag me about this fic. I'm good at starting long fics and then getting distracted by pretty shiny other ideas along the way...

Oh, you know I expect to read it at some point. Whether you want me to read it in progress is really author's choice.

You have no idea how many shiny things distracted me from that SGA monstrosity the last year and a half!

:D Thank you! I may need lots of people to read it and assure me it's okay...

And shiny things are good. I like them!

Would you be willing to be the person who reads through a complete-ish version? I have several people willing to read chunks as I go along and make comments, but I'd quite like someone who can read it as a whole and tell me if it works/makes sense etc.

You know how I love distractions!

It will be a while... I've written about 4k and this could be 50k...
