Genre: Fantasy, distant third person on at least two MCs (although only one is followed so far). 'Cynical' as opposed to dark; not exactly high on hope or 'heroic' protagonists, and the chances of a non-happy ending more then likely. Roughly 5,500 words so far.

Feedback: Brutal honesty. I want my writing, story, and prose critiqued to the maximum extent possible. I'd like some praise, but only if it doesn't detract from the criticism.

Publishing: Haven't thought about it, probably won't until I'm close to finishing.

Other Notes: I'd like any beta reader to have a decent amount of experience writing/reading sci-fi/fantasy. The piece is incomplete; I'd like to send in large chunks for reading as opposed to the entire piece. I can send anyone who's interested the first two chapters (although the first is up on SYW in a nearly-revised form).
