Delurking to say help. I need serious help.

I think I need a beta too :wink:.

Post edited as my rent-a-muse apparently has other ideas regarding what I should be writing. But if somebody wants to help a rookie out, it'd be appreciated. I hope to be posting the first germs of an idea I'm calling "Late Bloomer" sometime soon.

Thanks in advance.

TAKEN

Hey y'all, I just started up a fic called Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes and have decided to play it safe and beg for a beta. Requirement for the job is that they MUST pester me until I have the chapter finished. Also, if they could edit said part, that would be nice. Ha, OK in all seriousness though, if the beta could just proofread and add their positive and negative criticisms before the chapter is up, that would be marvelous!!! Also, pestering is welcomed :D If anyone is interested, just PM me and we shall give it a go! Thanks!!

Okay, so some of you might know that I've been writing a long time, and to date I've never asked for an official beta. I'm coming to realise that was because I used to see certain friends, who were more than willing to take a look at something if I wasn't sure about it, or let me talk it out to work out plot holes and such online a lot. Basically, they were on many occassions unofficial betas, for which I can't thank them enough. Unfortunately, time moves on, and while those friendships are still very much alive, real life means that we often find it hard to be online at the same time, and quite honestly, when we are, we don't always want to be chatting about writing. So I've noticed that I'm discussing my stories less, and problems are creeping into plots which I only notice after posting when I can't do anything about it, not to mention I'm drawing a blank at times as to where to go with the stories I have going too. So I guess what I'm asking for is that if anyone is interested in being a bit like a sound board... The grammer side of it is less important to me, I do my best to try and make sure I pick up the mistakes, and rather than someone to go thorugh with a fine tooth comb, I think basically I'd like to try and find someone who might be interested in chatting with me sometimes, to let me sound out ideas, or give an opinion on a preview of a chapter as a whole perhaps. The problem is, in order that we could do this, I think I'd need someone to be in the UK, or at least in Europe, so that the clashing time-zones don't come into it again. I don't know if anyone will be interested, but there I go, I've tried to explain, and if anyone wants to contact me I'd be happy to hear from you.

Thanks

Kat

found somebody, thanks

Hi, I need a beta reader for a short fic (3 chapters) I've just completed (the first one I actually finished) to correct the grammar and spelling mistakes, feedback would be nice as well since I'm not really sure about posting it

The fic is called "I can't help myself" and it's M&M, set in the summer after Destiny (yeah, I know another one, it just wouldn't leave me alone) and it's rated Adult

If anybody would like to help my, please pm me

thanks
Tine

EDIT: I'm not looking anymore. I don't think bringing anyone else in on the story would help at this point.

Hi all, I'm looking for a beta for my new story "Reconstructing Madonna." It's M/L (but of course) and is AU after Ch-ch-changes. I'm trying something new and using a lot of fragments and shorter sentences and dialogue, and I'm kind of worried that I'll end up scrapping too much/too little if someone doesn't tell me what does and doesn't work. Although it's mainly Liz-centric, the first several POVs will be from Isabel, Max, and Eileen and Serena -- two characters that are, for all writing purposes, pretty much OCs. I'm only expecting this story to be two or three parts; five at the max., so no epic-length commitments. You can contact me at my e-mail address, divinedancer2004@hotmail.com .

Hey guys,

I'm working on one of my numerous fic ideas and am actually trying to complete one instead of leaving it hanging in Limbo. So I figure the best way would be to get a beta reader (I've never had a beta for a fanfic before. Originals yes, fanfics, no).

This one is an Isabel-centric, AU w/aliens fic, untitled so far. It'll be CC mostly, although the adventurer in me is demanding something different to make life exciting. but we'll see how that goes. :D

If anyone is at all interested, just drop me a message, or you can email me at ragdoll.physics@gmail.com. Your support will be greatly appreciated :D .


Regards,
Zak
