I'm writing a novel - what I have is unproofed. Is anyone keen to read?
Hi
I'm writing what I think is turning out to be a pretty solid novel, but I've only had the opportunity to show it to some friends and colleagues. More importantly, I've only shown it to people who are from where I live, which I feel might make them more inclined to appreciate it for its local authenticity.
So I'd like someone out there on the internet to read my unproofed first part and plot outline. It's a sort of philosophical sci fi novel, set in South Africa. 21 pages of actual plot, and another 16 worth of plotpoints.
If I come across as a little new to this, it's because I am. What are the risks of showing it off to people I don't know, if one of you delightful forumites responds and I'm taken enough with you to show it off? 
Appreciate any input.
I'll read it only if the whole thing is told in limericks.
What PGoutis said. No one here will read your stuff. Ever. Ever ever.
Except for me. I wouldn't normally but something about philosophical sci fi novel, set in South Africa made me super curious. And 21 pages doesn't sound too bad. Send it to me posthaste.
We don't know how to read.

I'm curious Duncan. Could you send it?

This is weird, all of these members who never post wanting to read an incomplete outline randomly...
I still stand by my first post. The only safe way to get honest feedback is to join LitReactor or another workshop (real world or internet). I wouldn't trust sending my story to a bunch of people I don't know.
Why are you always trying to shatter my dreams of publishing someone else's half story as my own?
Because I want you to write your own story. With your wit, I'm sure it'll be something like a Steve Aylett story. Pretty sure that means it will wreak of awesomeness!
Toooo kind.
You're going to want to take it to LitReactor.com
It's where the Writer's Workshops are. You will get tons of helpful feedback there. Here, not so much.
