Bats in the Belfry: Access Request
The gist: "Bats in the Belfry" is an X-Men: Evolution Alternate Universe horror/gothic romance set in New Orleans, Louisiana. Written for a mature audience, the premise involves certain supernatural aspects drawn from folklore specific to the setting (vampires, werewolves, zombi, and a handful of ghosts). It is being heavily researched, and those on this filter are asked to participate in the developmental process of the story by offering feedback and constructive criticism.
(It should also go without saying that this is primarily a Rogue/Gambit story, with a hearty dose of secondary pairings.)
Where possible, I'm offering first, second, and third revisions of the draft as the story is written, but it should be noted that the "flavour" is different from what some may expect. I can't stress enough that this is story is directed at a mature audience. Certain elements, including scenes of a sexual nature and graphic violence are depicted and are in no way recommended for readers under the age of eighteen.
Researched elements are assembled once a week, and written snippets are included in part or in whole (for the most part, I'm only offering chunks and not whole chapters.) Those reading are aware that I may change things drastically prior to the first "official" posting.
You may request access to the filter, after having added me as a friend on livejournal, and leaving a comment at this post. There is a topic index <a href="http://luciademedici.livejournal.c om/352933.html">here</a> for those already on the filter, should you come to this a little late in the game, and want to catch up. (This is as much for me, as it is for those reading.)
"Bats" won't be posted publicly until it's at least 90% complete, and seeing as how this story is looking to be upwards of 250,000 words, in all likelihood, that may not be for another year or so.
This post was appended on August 1, 2007. The original filter request is below the cut. All other posts pertaining to "Bats in the Belfry" will be henceforth locked to the public.
Say thank ya.
