22nd-Dec-2009 10:37 pm - In desperate need for a Beta!
Text - My Muse
Title: Mad World
Universe:
Post "The Dark Knight
Genres:
Drama/Romance, dark-ish
Characters/Pairings:
Bruce Wayne, Claire Dearing (OC) - Bruce/Claire
Rating:
T (I guess... Maybe M for later chapters, though I'm not that hard of a writer)
Word Count:
Well... none yet, since I really need to know I have a beta first =)
Warnings
: No warnings really. It's based on "Batman begins" and "The Dark Knight", so the beta should know those two. And the beta should be okay with OCs ;-)
Summary:
It is the calm after the storm. The Joker and half of Gotham's mob wait for their trials and the better part of Gotham's police is hunting Batman for the murder of Harvey Dent and five other people. It's not the easiest of jobs for the young DA Claire Dearing. Will she discover the truth behind Dent's death and the mask of Gotham's dark knight? And how will she deal with the charming billionaire Bruce Wayne, who is nothing like the tormented young man, she knew when they first met in Princeton, many years ago?
Beta Specifics
: Well... I'm German, so naturally English is not my first language. That is why I really need a beta, who has an eye on spelling, grammar, canon knowledge (in case I misunderstood something important while watching the movies in English) and word usage. I need someone who can correct anything that sounds odd, because that might happen with a foreign language ;-)

I hope there is someone out there =)
Thanks in advance!
6th-Dec-2009 10:11 am - Looking for a Beta. Please?
Thoughts
I'm looking for someone who would want to beta my writing. I also always love to throw around ideas if anyone is so inclined.

I'm willing to beta as well, though I haven't done it for anyone before.
26th-Oct-2009 09:02 pm - Looking for an additional beta-reader
season greetings
I need an additional beta-reader.

I'm currently stormed by cute Bats coming from AUs and my usual beta is flooded.
Anybody available out there?

Thanks in advance :)

Title: Snapshots
Universe: Several, including some stuff that I threw in myself just because. Mostly comics. The setting’s a little Nolan-ish I suppose. Bit of the Dini cartoons just for good measure.
Genres: Character study. A surprising amount of angst, some fluff.
Characters/Pairings: Bruce, Tim, Dick, Jason, Barbara, Cassandra.
Rating: T
Word Count: 12299 (20 pages)
Warnings: Some pretty heavy child abuse. It’s all off screen but it upset me to write and I’m not easily upset so be prepared for that.
Summary: A number of shorts, about how all the different Batman characters are drawn together over time. Most take place before the characters take on their respective vigilante roles.
Beta Specifics: Okay this is a little complicated. I’m English and would like the speech in the story to be appropriately Americanised. That said I think if the narration is Americanised my head might implode (no offence to the American language. It’s just not what I think in). So I guess someone who can pick out American speech patterns but is willing to switch their spell checker to English UK.
Apart from that, mostly grammar. I’ve spell checked this thing to death so there shouldn’t be too many problems there. However me and commas and paragraphs don’t have a good relationship, so any help with those would be awesome.
10th-May-2009 12:41 pm - Intertwinement- Joker fan fic

Hey everyone!!! 

I'm looking for a beta reader for my fan fiction "Intertwinement". I already posted chapter one on fan fiction.net so if you want to check it out you can go to the site and look up my user name: PotcWright21. There you will find it! Comments and criticisms are always welcome. Here is a short summary of it:

Catherine Jones had a pretty decent life until the Joker shows up into it...again? What could he possibly want from her? Rated M for everything that is bad and uncivilized according to the moral and legal law.

Hehe yeah a bland name but tell me what you think. Let me know if you are interested and what  ideas you would like to add into it!!

Thanks in advance!

PotcWright21(aka dreamwish2192)

p.s. if you need me to post chapter one on this site, just let me know and I will happily do it! =)
Hitchcock slasher
Yikes! I stumbled across Batman Confidential 26-28, and the desire to slash could not be denied. My usual beta is more of a movieverse gal, and she felt iffy about taking on a fic grounded in a specific run of comics, let alone featuring the fabulous Mr. Nygma. Would anybody care to help?

Name: confusedkayt
Universe: This fic is set immediately after the New Dawn arc of Batman Confidential, in which Batman and the Riddler team up to fight King Tut.
Genres: Romance, character study
Characters/Pairings: Batman/Riddler, Alfred and Harvey/Two-Face
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2 chapters, between 2000 and 2500 words each
Warnings: Slash, and a teency bit of strong language.
Summary: Batman has a hunch that something is up with the Riddler after their surprisingly successful team-up against Tut. Also featuring Arkham chess with Two-Face, some gentle nudging by the incomparable Alfred, and Bruce/Batman/Brucie's identity and savior issues.
Beta Specifics: I'll admit that I still haven't quite figured out where Batman Confidential meshes with continuity; my understanding was that we're dealing with a relatively young Dark Knight, but obviously I will need to make some characterization changes if that is not so. Since this is my first crack at the Riddler, I'd love a second pair of eyes critiquing his characterization (and of course those pesky riddles!) And of course, there's nothing like a thorough beta to ensure that I am not rambling.

Hi i' need a few Betas and moderators for my Teen Titans and Batman site?
Sarah Palmer [twin peaks]
Name: kuihtuma
Title: This City
Universe: Nolanverse, with sprinkles of Jeph Loeb and Frank Miller.
Genres: Gen
Characters/Pairings: Not any prominent characters, but the Joker makes a brief appearence; alternately you could think it is entirely Joker-centric -- it's purposefully ambiguous.
Rating: PG?
Word Count: About 800
Warnings: Copious use of (hopefully slightly disturbing) bodily metaphors?
Summary: A character study of Gotham City and its citizens.
Beta Specifics: I'm mainly hoping for someone to tell me if the grammar and sentence structures are okay, and point out if things generally don't make sense. Ideally I'd like to know if this works for a reader who has knowledge of Gotham's different incarnations, but knowing Nolanverse will do just fine.

If you're interested, please email me at strangertimes at gmail dot com, or send me a PM! :)
Nightmare
Hello everyone. Dreamy and I (Nightmare) would like to extend the request for a beta willing to read a kind of out there Batman FanFic. I will post our information here and hope that it catches someone's attention. A beta would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Name: Nightmare and Winged Dreamer

Title:
Eye of Anubis

Universe:
Post Zero Hour, after the Luthor mess where Superboy went rogue, ignoring Infinite Crisis

Genres:
Romance, Angst, Adventure, Fantasy

Characters:
Bat Clan, Flash Clan, Titans, Legion of Super-Heroes, Egyptian gods, and many random others

Pairings:
Batman / Catwoman, Superboy / Robin, Kid Flash / Wonder Girl

Rating:
Eventually NC-17

Word Count:
59,000+ so far

Warnings:
Sexual innuendo, occasional language, eventually graphic sex, and one instance of beating and rape

Summary:
Being the Hand of a Goddess isn't easy, especially when duty pits a girl against the Dark Knight, but the new Catwoman has a mission, and nothing is going to stand in the way of its completion. Not even Batman.

Beta Specifics:
We are looking for someone who is willing to look for potential plot holes and help us create a tighter, more in character story. We have an outline for the entire story already done. The hardest part for us right now is actually writing it, and that is partly because our outline is so long. Someone who would be willing to read both the story and outline would be greatly appreciated.

Deadline:
None

  • I have already begun writing two batfics so I'm looking for a beta who can pick over already posted chapters and continue to beta future chapters.
  • I'm specifically looking for help in areas of grammar and spelling, so I need someone with an eagle eye who really knows their stuff. I often go back and edit chapters after I've posted them, but another pair of eyes would help.
  • I'm not really looking for help with plot ideas - one fic is already completely planned but the other is floundering in terms of direction, so suggestions would be welcome nonetheless.
  • I'd like a beta who is willing to go over chapters-in-progress as well as finished chapters. Be warned, my schedule is very wonky so updates are sporadic and often far apart.
