Three seems like a good round number to go with, so I'm gonna go ahead and close this request ^_^ Thanks for volunteering guys!
Hello folks!
I'm writing a series at the moment for the NT, and would love a second pair of eyes for it. I've written 31/2 parts of it so far, out of a projected 8-10, and hoping, at my current rate, to have it mostly done by the end of the week coming or the week after. Usually I wouldn't want editing until it was finished, but with the way the Times' series section is going, I kind of want to get this done as soon as possible to fill that gap :3
A brief overview, leaving out any "spoiler"-y bits in case anyone does want to read, but this is just so you can see if you'd be interested:
If you're interested, please comment to let me know, and I'll send over what I have at the moment. Really tired today so hoping this mostly makes sense. Thanks!

A brief overview, leaving out any "spoiler"-y bits in case anyone does want to read, but this is just so you can see if you'd be interested:
It takes place in Moltara, where conspiracy theories are spreading about a mysterious "Above" that those in the mines are working for. Rumour has it that Mayor Goodfire and other higher ups in the council knows of this secret "Above" and is hiding it from the rest of Moltara. The Above is obviously the rest of Neopia, which exists only in rumour in Moltara.
The main character is a young woman-Kougra called Adelaide, who works in the coal mines (the lowest mining rung in the class system of Moltara), the same ones her father, mother, and all their fathers and mothers before them worked in. More and more mine collapses have been happening, which the conspiracists say is because of the population of Neopia growing, which is putting more weight above them, making the mines unstable. She is also very close with Matthew, Mayor Goodfire's son, and as she gets closer, she starts to become more suspicious that the rumours might have some basis.
She starts to get caught up in the conspiracy, and things begin to snowball. But, it's still a character-driven plot even if the foreground is taken up with this plot.
