This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Beta my short story?
I thought I'd ask around here since I know some of you guys are writers; I have this short story that needs beta-ing, its 10 pages long, sort of a subverted fairytale thingie. Can anyone be my beta readet? I'd be happy with just one or two people. I'd just like a fresh pair of eyes to catch any silly mistakes and also an overall opinion on the story's characters and themes. I can beta something you've written in return, I've done a lot of reviewing/editing in my day. Alternatively, I can draw you a little chibi of your Oc or fanart of you fave character. 
just a thank you & to give something in return. 
EDIT: Apologies for shit-ton of typos, I'm on my old tablet amd it makes typing a chore.

I can get this done at work tomorrow between customers. How hard do you want me to be on it? I'm not mean, but my default setting is pretty nitpicky and that can be overwhelming.

Really? 
Let me PM it to you and feel free to let me know your honest opinion. Go wild. The truth is, I'd like to legitimately get a constructive idea about my work. I decided to ask here instead of on my DevArt because although I could get plenty of readers to volunteer, my followers are just sweethearts and wouldn't necessarily be...ah...brutally honest.

PM sent back. Sorry, I got caught up giving relationship advice at work yesterday and didn't get to read the story until now.

Heh, relationship advice is much more important than my little story. XD
Again thanks sooo much! Very appreciated.

Possibly off-topic, but we should set up a thread for these sorts of exchanges! I'm sure lots of use are writers here, so there'd be more than enough demand/supply
