A beta-reader, if you please!

Fandom: The Move RPF AU
Characters/Pairings: It's a long plotty fic focussing on FtM!Ace Kefford and FtM!Bev Bevan, and their experiences growing up trans*, and finding their place in the world.
Rating & Warnings: Mature/Explicit; warnings include consensual underage sexual situations, childhood trauma and abuse, mental illness (depression, suicidal thoughts, paranoia, psychosis?), self-harming/self-injury, and body dysphoria. There may be others I haven't picked up along the way, but that's a good overview.
Notes: This is a rewrite of an old queer_fest fic, The Girl Outside, without the ridiculous class differences and with better character development. It's been much better edited, and I've completely rewritten at least half of it from scratch.

I'm still working on finishing up the ending, but I'd still like to start getting the first chapters worked on, since I have a month to get this finished. At this stage, I'd mostly just appreciate having someone to look over it to let me know if it all makes sense plot-wise, whether the character development is consistent and plausible, and whether anything needs to be added or cut.

Canon/fandom knowledge isn't necessary, since it's an AU, and obscure fandoms are obscure and hard to find betas for.

Fandoms: The Move RPS/Brum (1992)
Cast: Brum, werewolf!Carl Wayne, seer!Roy Wood, werewolf!FtM!Bev Bevan, werewolf!Ace Kefford, Trevor Burton
Pairings: Roy Wood/Trevor Burton, Carl Wayne/Bev Bevan, Bev Bevan/Ace Kefford
Length: 44.6k / 7 chapters + prologue/epilogue
Rating and Warnings: FRM/Mature/M15+; warnings for grumpy old men dealing (or not dealing) with post-apocalyptic trauma and one non-explicit sex scene that could be read as dubcon. Lots (and lots) of walking. May destroy your childhood.

Notes: This is a complete first draft, written for apocalypsebang/apocalypsebang. It deals with post-apocalypse (zombies) survival and trauma, and follows on from Brum and the Apocalypse, which I wrote for apocabigbang last year. You don't have to have read the previous fic, though there are a few brief references to it in this current fic. Setting is AU!UK, covers late 2007-early 2008(ish).

I would appreciate a technical beta giving this a once-over to check story structure, plausibility, and coherency, just in case there's anything glaringly wrong with it. I think it's okay, but I could always do with another set of eyes just to make sure. It also needs to be stand-alone, so I'd really like to know if there's anything that I haven't fully explained. Obscure fandoms are obscure so I'm not expecting canon knowledge.

I also really need a Britpicker because I'm Australian and I'm not entirely confident I've picked out every mistake or got my geography correct. Familiarity with pub billiards a bonus, because I know I've messed up that scene. Also, I've just realised that my Australian brain forgot that Roy and Trevor spend half the fic walking across the southern part of England through the winter (*facepalm*) and obviously that will need to be fixed because I'm pretty sure I got all the weather wrong and they might be better off finding somewhere to camp for a while instead of pushing on. Any help with that would be appreciated.

Deadlines: Final draft is due on Jan 26th, 2013; I'd really like to get the fic beta'd before January if at all possible, though this is negotiable, given the time of year.
