Beta Reading at HASA by HASA_Archivist

Summary
One of the key reasons that members join HASA is to find a beta reader or to get other forms of feedback on their writing. However, there seems to be a lot of confusion about just what “beta reading” means and about how to find or become a beta reader. The purpose of this research article is to try and demystify the whole process. This article was originally compiled by Tanaqui (HASA Welcome Manager at time of writing) and draws on many of her own experiences. She would like to acknowledge extensive help from Marta, Lyllyn, Tenshi, Cheryl, Avon, Gwynnyd, Lady Aranel, and other members of the HASA and HA communities who have contributed to debates about beta reading.

Amid the Powers and Chances of the World by Azalais [archived by HASA_Archivist]

Summary
"Men..should have a virtue to shape their lives, amid the powers and chances of the world, beyond the Music of the Ainur, which is as fate to all things else" (Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter 1). A mortal woman is brought to Rivendell for healing in the summer of 3018, and thus becomes entangled with both Men and Elves in the events of the War of the Ring. How will destiny and choice shape the lives of the two Kindreds?
This novel-length story travels from Rohan via Rivendell to Gondor and back again, twining itself in and out of the canon events of LoTR as it goes. Gap-filling, drama, humour, a dash of angst and - eventually - romance between the OFC protagonist and a canon character (so don't say you weren't warned!)
Rated General rather than Adult, but should be considered PG-13 for, in later chapters, some fairly explicit descriptions of the aftermath of battle and for some (non-graphic) sexual content.
Thanks to the kind offices of Altariel, e-book versions are now available; [links no longer active -- Archivist]

Ithilien Tales (Vignettes from the Powers-verse) by Azalais [archived by HASA_Archivist]

Summary
A series of vignettes, one-shots and shorts from the fictional universe of my full-length story Amid the Powers and Chances of the World; for all those readers who wanted to know some of what happened to Rowanna and Legolas in the 120 years between the penultimate and final chapters of that story.
Each short story or vignette will be a chapter in the overall 'story'. Ratings will vary from chapter to chapter, but as some chapters will definitely be Adult, this will be the rating for the story as a whole.

Summary
Saelon journeys to the Grey Havens to pay for her folk's use of the Elves' land, in company with men of three races—all of whom have their doubts about each other. Will they make is so far, without destroying the ties that bind them? If they do, will Veylin succeed in coming to his own agreement with Círdan, and what will the Shipwright think of Saelon's attachment to the Sea? The Dûnhebaid Cycle, Part IV.
