phy-be:BETA READER / SENSITIVITY READER SEARCHA Study In Scarlet-Dripping Fangs is a sapphic reimagining of Holmes and Watson with urban fantasy elements. Charlie and Gio were once inseparable childhood friends, intent on becoming England’s best doctor-and-detective duo. But when a series of occult murders turned horribly personal, Charlie ran away from her career, from London — and from Gio. The murderer was put away. Gio became a brilliant medical examiner, Charlie became a teacher, and they both tried not to miss each other too much. Eight years of silence later, their paths cross again when a new serial killer starts murdering women in a pattern too familiar to be coincidence. The third victim is Charlie’s friend, left bloodless and bitten in her classroom. This time, she won’t be able to run away. Age range: AdultGenre: Urban Fantasy / MysteryWordcount: ~85kWarnings: This book contains graphic description of murder scenes and some violence.

The novel is divided in three parts of ~30k words each — you will be sent one part at a time, with a month to read it, along with a questionnaire about your thoughts. I also appreciate comments on the document as you read, but these are not required.Sensitivity ReadersBeing a sensitivity reader implies giving some targeted feedback and telling me if/when I’ve fucked up. As thanks, I will give you a painted portrait commission (or anything from my commission sheet worth 50€). [JEWISH] The main characters, Gio and Charlie, are both Jewish. Thus, I am looking for two Jewish sensitivity readers — ideally, to reflect the characters’ mindsets, one who is religious and observant, and one who is less so. [BRITISH] I am also looking for two British people who can tell me everything I’ve gotten wrong, because although I lived in the UK for four years, my mind is a blur and the English-speaking world is ever confusing. Interested?Fill out this form! I was blessed by some gay goddesses and had the pleasure to read this gem of a book and let me tell you, it freaking kicks ass.I’m forever in love with Gio, and will kill and/or die for Charlie. The writing is beautiful, there were times when I literally just highlighted every two sentences because they struck that hard, and the take on Conan Doyle’s characters and universe is fresh & unique as fuck.Join me, I need more people to fangirl with. -- source link
