Beta request for long McShep story (found!)
I've written a McShep story for the extreme_bigbang, and it's finally in a state where I can ask someone to look at it.
I'm looking for two beta readers (as per the community guidelines for the challenge). The fic is 107k words long and due to be posted August 7th, so there's not much time considering the length of the fic. Due to that I'm primarily looking for someone who can check spelling, grammar, incorrect vocabulary (I'm not a native English speaker), and sentence structure, instead of detailed line by line edits which would require more time. (Though if you're a lightning fast beta and feel up to it...)
Summary: While most come to Atlantis as a last hope to find safety in Pegasus, Rodney McKay looks for an opportunity to work on his inventions. Nobody in Pegasus has been untouched by the Wraith, but Rodney has a shield that protects him. As a citizen of Atlantis, Rodney learns some truths that challenge how he thinks about the Wraith and himself.
Rating: NC-17 (for sex and violence)
Pairings: John/Rodney (primary), Teyla/Kanaan, Carson/Cadman, some Rodney/Katie and Rodney/Jennifer flirtation, and mention of previous Rodney/OC and John/OC sex
Genre: pseudo-historical AU (American Old West as a vague guideline, though with more modern technology in places)
Warnings/content notes (these are spoilery for the story): cannibalism (the Wraith); there's violence that goes beyond SGA type violence including the mutilation of a body in order to hide it and a rather graphic mention of a dead baby; brief recounting of an attempted rape (Rodney); recounting of having sex for food and shelter, which while technically consensual still negatively influenced how John relates to sex; an incident of starving; political oppression including execution; siege/battle; battle typical mass deaths; generally various mentions of death (though none of the major characters die).
(If you have any particular questions about the content, please let me know and I'll try to answer more specifically.)
If you're interested, please comment, PM me, or email me at gschulzmultimedia (at) gmx (dot) de. Thank you!
