#0, Resources for fledgling fanfic authors
Posted by Zenigame on May-09-01 at 05:29 AM
(Hopefully it's this general board, not the other general board, that this message should go to.)

I've been kicking around an idea in my head, nudged in various directions by various things I've read, of trying my hand at fanfic... specifically, an Evangelion/Sailor Moon fusion. (Moon Kingdom and Dark Kingdom fought using giant robots/youma. 1999 lunar mission discovered remains, accidentally breached seal on moon, Second Impact carved moon into perpetual crescent. 14-year-old Usagi Tsuniko is recruited by SELENE to pilot against Dark Kingdom forces now attacking earth from moon.)

Anyway, the reason I bring this up here is that, well, I'm gonna want prereaders. (No, I'm not taking individual offers at this time; like I said, I'm still kicking it around, and I wouldn't want to waste your time if this never leaves the metaphorical drawing board.) Thing is, I'm not really sure where one gets them.

So, since the Eyrie staff was in this position once upon a time (before they were famous and all), and since there are other fanfic authors posting here, I thought I'd ask: what's the best way to get resources like that? Is there a mailing list? A Web site? A newsgroup, perhaps? Or should I just wave once I actually have something written and hope folks take notice?
