I need alpha readers for an incomplete fantasy crossover. (I hesitate to call it incomplete because I consider the "novel" to be a series of novellas, and this arch to be the first of the series. By that distinction, it is complete.) It is currently about 17,000 words (my word processor says 18,000, so it’s probably about a thousand words less than that). I just completing the first major character arch and I’m on the brink of expanding the story into another, more complicated arch. BUT I need to know which way to go with the voice of the main character.
It’s written in first person, has romantic themes, reads like a fictional memoir, is neither epic nor urban, and is set in a fantasy world but is character driven and very centralized. The setting is a world without humans: all the characters are non-humans. The magic is subtle, but plays a big part in the story. I don’t use any traditional fantasy species. It isn’t a quest, but a survival story (this arch anyway). Not much about the world is given in this chunk, but it is action packed and fast paced. I’ve been told by a reliable source that there are some disturbing themes in this, so spots are awkward reading.
Thanks!

What do you mean by crossover?

Not quite YA, not quite adult.

I would suggest that you look first for people that you know in Real Life and can meet in person.

I have one person I know that will. That's not enought for a honest opinion.

Have you considered the Reading Excuses group?

I would be interested in Alpha reading, if you are still looking.
