This is a story that might get torched once it’s posted, no matter how many advance warnings I provide about the sex. I think the best category would be Mature, but there are aspects of interracial, anal, and group (male-female-male), with solo female masturbation, and a history of bisexuality with one of the male characters. Also, nobody in the story is conventionally attractive, and everybody has flaws. Lots of light-hearted fun, right?

With all that this has going against it, I’d still post it if I think that the story is genuinely good. I’d like your opinions on whether the story is good now, or how I might make it good, or if it’s hopelessly bad. I haven’t done much with PMs on Lit, so I’m not sure how I’d get the draft to you (if a Word file can be attached, for instance; I see a paper clip icon as I'm posting this, so maybe). The draft is 8517 words, and I’d also send a set of questions for you to answer. The edit is fairly rough (first draft, after all), but I don’t think the current wording creates misunderstandings.

I’ll be open to expressions of interest for the next three days (to Feb. 13). Thanks.

You might post your request to the Editor's Forum, as well as here. That is a common route to finding a beta reader.

You'll need to have Private Messaging (PM) enabled. It is disabled by default. To enable Private Messaging click on "User CP" near the top left of this screen, select "Edit Options," and click the check box to for "Enable Private Messaging." You'll probably have to scroll down to find that check box.

Once you've enabled PM, using it is not a challenge. You won't be able to transfer something like a Word file through PM, but you can arrange ways to exchange files with your beta reader(s).
 
My beta-readers are mostly people who sent me positive feedback about my stories. It's a lot easier to find beta-readers among people who like your writing.

Thanks, I'll post in the Editors Forum also.
