Well, I'll likely start editing it later this week - if I wait that long! Once I have a readable draft, rather than the loosely-connected bundle of scenes it currently is, I'll be looking for readers. I doubt I'll have problems finding such!
I think the easiest thing for me to do is to host it somewhere for interested parties to download.
Warning - it started out as Star Wars fan-fic and I did some diverging from strictly SW partway thru. So what starts out as, for example, references to Gran become references to the Vassfforcians. Mandalorians become the Cellics. And so on.
I think as I've printed everything out with each scene starting on a new page, it hit 170 pages.
Also, thanks to Open Office not knowing how to freeking COUNT WORDS, I ended up needing to write nearly 3,000 words yesterday. I did it, but I had to be sneaky. See, the story had gotten to the point that I had several places that needed 200-300 word additions to existing scenes. But to turn out 3,000 words, I needed a long uninterrupted section to write. So, in the end to get my verifiable 50k, I started what amounts to a whole new short-story based around a set of supporting characters I had developed.
And dangit - I went and got interested in the guys, so now I gotta go back and FINISH *THEIR* STORY!!! rotflmao
But now that I am through with the contest/competition/bragging-rights deal, I can snatch in the short story I have posted here - "Shore Leave." That adds something like 5k words, but I couldn't use them, as I'd written the story before November. So... I fluffed my story legally.
