Summary
April 2031
On the eve of his fifteenth birthday, Artem sees his parents off for their umpteenth 'prison vacation'. Fencing gold and and stolen cars, this time around.
But for as bitter as their antics may make him, there's more to life, to his life, than their misguided priorities and neglect. There is more, to the tundra, than snow and frost.Series

Summary
July 2042
For years, Xinyi had known that her brothers needed help. That they weren't okay. And that it was beyond her ken to offer it.
For years she'd known that, and for a while, since boarding the Berenice and reaching the Mark Anthony, she thought they could get better...Their humour for sure did, but no amount of gut feelings and hunches could prepare her for knowing for sure the cause behind it...And with discovery, comes trouble.
It's a struggle, to keep composed.
To wear back the apathetic face he's unfortunately — now more than ever — started losing.
It's a struggle, and twice so as the twins startle in unison for a question he didn't think would get him a reaction that strong if any at all, Xinyi paling like a vengeful ghost while staring at Haoran, who looks at his chopsticks as if they bit him leaving him thirty seconds to live...Series

Summary
July 2042
It's been two weeks since Jack woke up, nearly a full month since her escape pod was retrieved by the Mark Anthony's crew, and as she sets in her hospital routine, turns out that being a castaway in space is way less exciting that she thought it'd be...Stretching her shoulders and slapping the wheel of her chair as she grabs its hand rims, she starts making her way through the garden once more, her arms rested enough from her previous leg of its winding paths to continue her exploration of that artificial ecosystem, as beautiful as it is sterile.

A thorough guide to beta reading for both authors and beta readers. Neither exhaustive nor definitive, but hopefully a good starting point that covers the basics and explains how to get the most out of an author-beta reader relationship.
