Uhh... Ishbal Dreams!

What is „Ishbal Dreams”? It’s basically an alternate universe story, in which, Maes Hughes is none other but the Prince of Ishbal. The time-setting is somewhat earlier than the anime; think the middle of the 1800’s.

After a lost battle, the Ishbalites bring Roy Mustang, Central’s general to the Palace for interrogation. The handsome man captures Maes’s attention and thanks to the mutual lust, they eventually fall in love with each other.

The fic tells the story of their relationship, the small and bigger obstacles they have to overcome. Many other characters make their appearance as well and tons of smut happens. The main focus is on Maes and Roy but there are side couples, such as Scar/Greed, Kimbley/Greed, Havoc/Fury, Roy/Farman or Scar/Roy. Currently, there’s one chapter which is entirely het (Greed/Lust).

As none of the authors are native English-speakers and we tend to write in the middle of the night, the chapters have grammar and style mistakes. We'd be eternally grateful for a thorough beta. When we're not aware of our mistakes, we cannot learn from then. Thank you.

Not usually a Hughes/Roy fan, but i am a sucker for something with a little plot amongst all the pr0n.

Should I mail you chapter 7 then or will you copy-paste it? Kill the excess commas and semicolons, correct the few ocassional typos, tweak the verb tenses (although I certainly hope we can't get it that wrong, this is simple present... oO), fix whatever else is wrong and SUGGEST the necessary style changes (This is precaution as some of the previous betas tried to change the meaning of our sentences and we can't stand that.)

Naturally, we'll be forever thankful if you do the job. A few people volunteered in the past to beta and we never heard about them again.

whichever's easier for you. * wields her hi-lighter and lets her inner editor out to play. ^^ *

If you just take matters into your hand, that's definitely easier for me... XD So, grab the text and start working. I'm counting on you.

Mail would be the best solution I guess. Direct the doc/rtf to ladyokami@yahoo.com

really can't help you with excess commas, i'm comma-happy myself. verb tenses and using the right words and word order are edited though. ^^

I see. Then, I'll just kill as many as I'm not ashamed to kill. ^^
