Punishingly Intricate
So, um, not sure about the etiquette of asking for a beta, but I have a partial draft of a story I'm working on and I've hit well, not an impass, but a point at which I need to decide what to do next. As in, is this a short story? a novella? If someone is willing to read it, I'd be grateful.
Burrell, if you still need readers I'd be happy to help.

I finished the first draft of my book. Next up, reading the feedback from my beta readers, and polishing. But the first draft is DONE.

“Not dead yet!”
Wheeeeee, Jilli!
I know I owe you scads of feedback, but actually, I think this is going to be good-- I'm going to read in order, beginning to end and give you overall impression. Is that good?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Jilli, I'm so "I KNOW HER!!!" about you.
