transThanks to the mods for approving this. I have an unusual request for this comm, as far as I can tell, and would appreciate any help you can offer!
I am currently helping a friend of mine write a fanfiction story (Sherlock BBC fandom) that involves a character who is ftm. The story is for an exchange, so the identity of the author must be kept secret until it is released by the comm mods.
We're wanting a critique by at least one person (more would be wonderful) who is familiar with transgender issues, and can tell us whether or not the story/character interactions ring true to them. It would be great, but not necessary, if volunteers are a) familiar with/like fanfiction, preferably Sherlock, and b) can critique coherently.
We basically want insiders' perspectives to make sure we're treating the subject with the sensitivity it deserves. This is the first time either of us have written a trans* character. We've done some research, but it's hard to get the specific answers we need from general overviews and such.
The basics of the story: It's currently a WiP, and it's shorter: 2,500 words, mostly likely to end up around 4,000. It is male/male/male slash (yes, there is a threesome). There are some minor d/s themes. It needs to be turned in by the 29th of December, so there is a limited time frame for volunteers.
Please message me if you're interested. Or if you want to leave some advice in comments, please feel free to do so!
Thank you for your time!
Edit: So many responses! Thank you all for volunteering.
Edit the 2nd: I have no idea whether people are tracking this post, but I thought I might as well place it here. The story is up! You can find it here: http://sesa.zvilikestv.net/2012/, the title is The Shape of You.
