LotR book meta
Greetings everyone! I'm not sure if this is the right section of the forum to post this, I'm sorry if it isn't. Marileangorifurnimaluim told me you guys might be able to help me.
I've been reading a lot of Tolkien's writings lately (fiction and non-fiction, Legendarium-related or otherwise), and it inspired me to start writing meta on character motivations in LotR. It's just a fannish essay I'd like to post online, but I'm looking for someone who would be willing to beta-read it. It's multichapter, but it's OK if you can't commit to the whole thing. I've only got a draft of the first chapter right now. I don't have a posting schedule, so there's no time pressure or anything. I'd love feedback on things like internal consistency, whether it's possible to follow the train of thought etc. Also, I try my best, but I'm not a native speaker of English, so SPAG help would be greatly appreciated as well. Obviously, I'd give full credit for the help. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them (I'm on Discord, if that's of interest). Cheers! |
