Beta a Self Harm prevention convo in a fanfic?

[feliciacraft]

Dear friends, would anyone be willing to help me beta a scene centered around a self harm prevention conversation? It takes place in a Buffyverse fanfic. You don't even need to read the short story -- I'll fill you in on the very simple plot. Given the sensitivity of the matter, I really want to get the conversation right. I mean, it's imperative.

I'd love to help, honey, but I'm afraid my next couple of days are pretty well packed solid thanks to shortage at work again. :P If you can't find somebody else, I could get it done Tuesday morning, but that's probably the earliest... Sorry!

Oh, I totally understand. I'm always scrambling to meet deadlines at the last minute. My fault, really. Thanks anyway! :)

I'm not an expert with this subject, but I think I have a pretty good guts feeling on things like that (and am an elementary teacher, so not totally unexperienced with everything pedagogical and psychological). If it's about a kind of 'first impression' (or really a deeper impression) concerning, well, guts feeling about how it's going down, I think I could do that.

Yeah, "gut feeling" is exactly what I'm looking for. The goal is to make it sound realistic and plausible. I sent you a private message so that we can go from there. THANK YOU!

I sent you an email, I hope you got it?

Yes, thanks! Will send you the draft later today (still mulling over some details). :)
