Hello, all- I am looking for a beta reader for a short story, working title: Redwaters Institute. It's one story that I'm hoping will assist me in world-building for Voyage of Thunderchild and to make it good, I'd like to find a beta.
I went to see Thor in the theater, and if you haven't seen it (and esteem the Norse pantheon at all) go and see it! Branagh captured perfectly the over-the-top essence of the thunder-god and made the Shakespearean themes go over big. Not too surprising, as Branagh seemed to just embrace whole-heartedly the idea of a gung-ho viking god getting smacked down to earth as a story on a level with The Winter's Tale and King Lear. Particularly King Lear in that Thor is a man on the verge of possessing everything he desires, motivated by alternating love and vanity- and torn between persuasion by Loki and loyalty to Odin, who loves his son too much to let him continue in his arrogance and cruelty. So, if you haven't seen it and are an afficionado of the Bard, it's worth going.
