EDIT: Wait a tic, I just realised there's a bunch of things I want to mess with.

Would anyone be willing to look over this story for me? It's a 3000 word Avatar The Last Airbender story about Toph and Teo(*) developing a Braille-like writing system(**).

What I'd like having checked is any of, in order of likelihood that any of you can help:

  • General spelling, flow etc.
  • Avatar:TLA canon compliance
  • The mechanics of Braille, printing presses, and Mandarin and if at all possible their interaction (hey, there might be a history major who knows Chinese Braille reading this, you never know!)


If not: where does one find betas for this sort of thing? I think I may be doomed with the "Is this a reasonable alternate development of Chinese Braille?" question.

This is my third attempt at drawing Toph fanart. I got a lot closer this time, I only fell down when I started thinking about the back story to the sketch I was drawing.

(*)The Avatar one, not the A Circle of Stars one. Though that would be funny :)
(**)I think the thing that got me into writing fanfic was realising that while for most other people "self indulgent wish fulfillment" means wingfic mpreg porn or whatever, for me it's having my characters introducing democracy or access ramps to fantasy settings. Hey, don't judge my kinks and I won't judge yours.

Relax! :D I bookmarked it, had lunch, and am now set to enjoy myself with fic and a cup of tea. I peeked at the notes and I already like your priorities.
