i'm like 94% sure i've made a skin of this character before but it didn't look like this so i'm in the clear

okay here's the dealio
i have this book that i've been working on for like two years and it's finally to the point where i'm okay with showing it to other people without cringing and skipping entire chapters
and (i know, i know, i'm probably way too ambitious) in the future, publishing it would be really awesome
but professional editors (story editors, mind you, not copy-editors) charge like a TON for books with a lot of words
and for a book with just under 70k words that's kind of a lot of charging, especially for a smol child with no steady source of income
so, instead of paying professionals to tell me what they think about my book, i've decided to find some beta readers instead.

The book's working title is Stormborn (which only begins to make sense toward, like, the very end of the book). The story's kind of convoluted, but it's basically about these two teenagers who get kidnapped and have to escape from these people that are doing this weird experiment thing on just a few selective people. Only part 1 (which is the 70k-word part) is available at this point, because I haven't finished editing part 2 yet.

(i swear, my grammar in the book is a whole lot better than my grammar in this skin description. you can find some of my older work here. that portfolio is kind of outdated, actually, which means that the writing in the part of the book that you'll be seeing is actually reasonably better than that.)
