deathpixie: (writing part two)
So, I have the story I wrote for the NaNoWriMo last year. I want to try and overhaul it, perhaps see if I can get something vaguely worth trying to publish (the basic idea is fairly sound, or at least, I think so). The problem is, I'm trying to figure out a fundamental structural thing and I can't without getting people to read it. Only, it's as rough as guts and I'm kind of embarrassed to have people read it before I at least do some editing. But I can't edit until I solve the structural issue.

Dilemma, yes?

So, biting the bullet here. I need some people to read it over, with only a couple of things in mind:

1) Is the concept worth trying to work on it some more? I think it might be, but I'm usually pretty pessimistic about my ability to come up with good ideas;

2) It's currently written from multiple 1st person viewpoints, with a different character 'talking' each chapter. Does that work for this, or should I pick one character to tell the story?

With those two questions in mind, and only those two (I'm really just looking for a structural opinion, not a full edit at this point, I'm really needing to stress that, since I know it needs a lot of work to clean up the plot and the general writing), who would be up for reading an urban fantasy/cop procedural of around 50,000 words?
