beta?

So would anyone be willing to beta the mostly-final-draft of the last two-thirds of my monster OUAT fic? (My fabulous sister's been pinch-beta'ing, but she's getting really busy and I am not sure she'll be able to continue.)

I've started posting it, so the plot/character arcs are pretty much set in stone at this point, as well as any deep substantive issues that I haven't managed to fix yet. What I'm looking for at this point are things on the order of "this sentence is awkward" up to "This scene doesn't work" or "This character would never say that" or "I had a really hard time getting through this scene because the characters keep jumping around in conversation" or "Are they actually spending this whole conversation talking right next to the door?"

The catch is... it's 30k (I've posted 10k already, leaving 20k, but it might be nice to read the first 10k to see what's going on), I'm currently posting chapters regularly twice a week, and I really really want to get it out before the second season premiers at the end of September. So this is going to be two to three installments a week of about 1000-2000 words each. Now, it's pretty much all written, so I can give it to you almost all at once if you'd prefer, but I'm going to need a fairly steady stream of input. (To be fair, it would also totally be okay if you had to skip one or two installments; partial beta beats no beta!)

You don't have to have familiarity with Once Upon a Time, but it would probably help with reading for characterization (it's an AU, so it's not really strictly necessary as long as it's internally consistent). The fic does spoil the entire first season.

(For those of you for whom it's relevant, it's rather more fleshed out than the first draft!)

Any takers? :)
