    Hey.

    I'm writing my first story (HP, AU/TT) on FFnet. Unfortunately, the majority of reviews are 'good work update pls' which don't really tell me if my story is shit or not. I think there's like, one or two posts max that actually say anything.

    Soo, I'm looking for someone with experience that have actually written a fic to help out. I could go to the for reviews section but it's WIP and shameless self promotion :p.

    Anyone feel like helping out a newbie?

    EDIT: Nevermind, thanks :).

    Best way on DLP to receive beta work is to post your chapters (whether sections or the entire chapter) in a topic for your story in the Work By Author section. That way everyone can have a read if they're interested at all and point out grammar, spelling or plot issues to their hearts content.

    For Review section is only for when someone says a story is ready to be put into the Library. If you're looking for beta work, then it isn't ready.
