IN NEED OF BETA

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 20:12:34 GMT

Hi, there! How are you?

I'm Deborah, but I'm used to being called Elisabeth, as that's my unofficial second name. I'm 17 years old, and live on the other side of the Earth, in Belgium to be exactly.

I really love to watch CSI:Miami, and I consequently love to read and write fanfiction. There's already one fanfiction of mine online, and I would like to put the other five ones up as well. But since English actually isn't a real official language here, and my native tongue's Flemish, I'm in need of a beta, who's willing to read through my things. I wondered if you maybe would want to do this?

I usually write about DuCaine, the quite illusional but wonderful ship between CSI:Miami's Detective Calleigh Duquesne and Lieutenant Horatio Caine.

I have witten about seven stories, and I'm busy on the eighth!

One's NC17, and all the fanfics are actually sequels to POSITIVE, fanfic nr. 1, or connected in another way, like five of them or gathered in a series POSITIVE/NEGATIVE.

I would be really thankful if you would accept my offer/question to beta my fanfics. It has been a few months since I put POSITIVE online, and I think the time has come to update, and I also think that it actually is really sad that I have already written the stories, but... just haven't found the right person to beta them yet, to correct my frequent errors. I don't have the faintest idea how bad it actually is, but I really need a beta for my fanfics, which are between 3000 and 6000 words each.

If you would like to beta my CSI:Miami fanfics, Please reply to this message, no matter what you think about it... Because it would be worse for me to wait for a reply that never comes, than for a negative one.

THANKS

CSI_Ballistics/Elisabeth

P.S. I also beta some fanfic as well, but I'm only able to do this limited... I'm able to put my finger on huge errors, but I just oversee the little ones, especially if these boil down to sentences... I think I'm best at the reality in fanfic. It usually takes me less than a few days, but if the fanfic's longer, I'll need more time to read through it as well; but it gets done! ;) I just beta how the ones that I'm beta-ing the fanfics for want me to, if they would mention this in the message; but I usually put my thoughts about every paragraph under it, in red italics. I also do my best to give people suggestions to continue to write if having writer's block!

* If you are seeking a beta reader:

FANDOM: CSI:Miami
LENGTH: between 3000 and 6000 words
RATING: PG-13, NC-17, R
PAIRING: DuCaine, every character of CSI:Miami
PAIRING TYPE: Het
WARNINGS: Adult themes
TYPE: everything? :s

* If you are offering to beta read:

FANDOM: CSI:Miami

THERE ISN'T ANYTHING I REALLY WON'T BETA!

Hey guys.

I'm looking for a beta for my fanfics. It's the first CSI: Miami fanfic I'm writing but I'm planing to write more in the future for a prompt table.

Fandom: CSI: Miam
Author: Sabi aka love_kate_walsh
Rating: PG-13 so far but since it's gonna be a multi chaptered fic it's going to change.
Pairing: Calleigh/Eric
Summary: a brief summary of your story
Type of beta: mostly grammar, spelling

Since it's going to be a multi chaptered fic I don't know the length yet but I guess each chapter will have between 1000 and 3000 words. Oneshots will probably be shorter.

I'd really apprechiate if someone could help me.

Hello everyone,

I'm in need of a beta for my stories. They are going to be oneshots concerning a table I'm working on.

Fandom: CSI: Miami
Author: Ayu (vampireslady)
Category (I'm listing everything that could come up): AU (has to be because of the pairing), drama, established relationship, romance, episode-related
Rating: PG-15/T
Pairing: Tim Speedle/Ryan Wolfe
Type of beta: spelling, grammar mostly

The lenght of each one-shot variates, but they are most likely short. I can't exactly say what would be the maximum lenght of a chapter/story, but I guess it would be around 3.000 words maximum. I have to get myself to write as much...

I would really appreciate, if someone would be able to help me.

Ayu

Beta reader needed

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 15:32:33 GMT

Hi, I am in need of a one-time beta reader for my one-shot CSI:LV piece that I was commissioned to write. My recipient has already read it, and would like me to post it up, so I would appreciate a beta to go through the errors within it before I post it up for public viewing. I've written a few fics for the CSI:NY fandom already. My regular beta is not interested in the pairing, so this would be just a one-shot thing.

Fandom: CSI:Las Vegas
Rating: PG13
Characters: Gil Grissom/David Hodges
Pairing type: Slash
Warnings: Swear words, kissing. Very mild indeed.
Type of beta: Grammar and flow/sentence structure mostly. Some characterisation.

I'd appreciate it if someone could get back to me soon. Please drop a comment or email me at triciasama (at) yahoo (dot) com. Thanks!

Beta.

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:46:35 GMT

Hey, I'm nahzee. I don't have any experience with this online, but I've done peer reviews in a real life group for a long time. If you want to contact me, go ahead and email me ( nahzee at yahoo dot com) At the least, please include three or more aspects of the story you especially want feedback on. If I accept your request, please allow me one day PLUS an additional day for every 7000 words. If your story is over 40,000 words, make that one for every 9000.

the fandom(s) you are willing to beta: CSI: NY and CSI: Las Vegas
any rating you will not beta: Everything from g-nc17 is fine.
any characters/pairings/groupings you will not beta, including slash vs. het vs. gen: I will only beta stories that are entirely or primarily SLASH. Het pairings must not be central to the story, and there must also be a slash pairing. No gen.
anything else you will not beta, including specific sex acts, violence, etc: Hmm. I'm iffy about noncon, but aside from that, please just include any relevant ratings and warnings when you send me a request and I will go ahead and tell you if it's okay.

Please please PLEASE use spellcheck before you send it to me! I can handle minor errors, but please be aware I access the computer via contracted braille- chances are, if you can't spell it, I can't read it.

Beta Needed

Sat, 08 Sep 2007 21:51:12 GMT

Hello, I'm relatively new to the CSI-verse and I'm seeking a beta (obviously). For me, a beta would have to have patience. I have school and an appalling amount of reading and papers to complete. I'm looking for someone to bounce ideas off, characterization, flow and occasionally grammar. Ah, here we go, the important information:

Fandom: CSI: NY
Word Count: I'm still in the process of writing, so it'll be chapter by chapter. Usually my chapters average 4,000 words.
Rating: It'll vary, but Chapter One is probably and R.
Characters/Pairings: Mac/Danny, eventually and a Mac/OC. The primary pairing is slash. The rest of the CSI: NY characters will make appearances. I've got no clue about any other possible pairings.
Warnings: As of right now...all I can think of is angst. And an OC that everyone is guaranteed to hate (which I'm expecting). More warnings will probably be added as the story gets to where its going.

If you agree, you can find my yahoo IM on my profile page. If anyone sees this tonight, I'll be on until about 11:00 or so. That's U.S. central time. And if you can't catch me tonight, Friday is my writing day.

Thanks and have a good night!

Hey, I'm looking for a beta (of course), anyway, I would love to find a beta willing to put up with me long term, but mostly, I just need one for this WIP that I'm almost done. :D

Fandom: CSI

Title (tentative): Illegal Blood Binding (part of the original story has been posted under this title on What Makes the Desert Beautiful)

Author: burntace_skins (Black Ace Sanders on WMTDB)

Word Count: 20+ pages of written work

Category: Slash, AU

Genre: Drama, Angst, a little romance.

Rating: I’m going to be safe and say R, but I’m not entirely sure and could use help with that...

Warnings: Mentions of rape, domestic abuse, child abuse of both physical and sexual natures. And I really mean just mentions because there’s NO way I could write something graphic about those topics.

Characters: Greg, Nick, OFC, OMC, cameos by Grissom, Brass, Warrick and maybe Catherine.

Pairings: Nick/Greg, Greg/OMC

Summary: When Greg and Nick investigate an assault case, Greg finds his life turning upside down as everything he worked to hide for the past year and a half comes to light. Enemies lurk around every corner for the young lab rat turned CSI as even older ghosts come out to play. It's time for Gregory Sanders to face his fears.

Beta For: Spelling, Grammar, Past/Present tenses, Sentence structure, and anything else you may find.

I'm not quite sure how I'm going to separate the chapters yet, but I'm thinking around 10-13 chapters, with an epilogue.

Summary For chapter one: A terrible tragedy causes Gil to leave the rest of the team and some of the people nearby watching. (I'm not good at summaries.)

Fandom: CSI
Title: Currently "Somewhere better than nowhere" but I don't know that I like it
Author: Em, bluflamingo, email echidna120@hotmail.com
Word count: approx 2000
Category: femslash, case-fic
Spoilers: minor for Grave Danger (as in, if you know the main events of the episode, you won't be spoiled)
Rating: PG-13 (there's a brief moment when they shower together but it fades to black on a kiss
Pairing: Sara/Sofia
Summary: Sara, Sofia and Greg get sent to the edge of their jurisdiction to investigate a crime scene (well, probably something a bit catchier but that's basically what happens)
Beta for: Characterisation, especially of Sofia, general flow, plausibility or at least plausible soundingness of the crime details, anything else you can provide.

The story's for a ficathon and is due on 10th June, so I'd need it back a few days before then to make any amendments, but other than that, any offers of help gratefully received :)

Thu, 10 May 2007 19:17:37 GMT

Hey,

I'm here to both offer and request beta services :)

I have my own Danny/Lindsay WIP, future fic and a bit different by anyone's standards. It also features Stella and 3 original characters that I'd like beta-ed. It needs grammar and flow, scene and characterisation checking (I'm not from the US, and find writing in accent quite hard) and someone with some scientific background/knowledge to check my science/forensic stuff would be absolutely ideal.

I can also beta for anyone who needs it. I've got a lot of free evenings at the moment (til about August). I'll read anything (except truly graphic smut, gratitutious non-con or sex with a minor/dead person), even rape if it's in context of a story. I'll do any pairing, all three shows, multi chapter or one shots (though my tendencies do slip more towards het, I will beta slash, it'll do me good to broaden my horizons). I've got an A in Higher English, I'm anal about spelling and grammar (total grammar Nazi in my own fics), and I've got a bit of a scientific background though in a different area of science.

Either comment back or drop me an email at fiona_wark@hotmail.com.

Lol, Fi.

Hi all! I'm in need of a beta for my story 'Until Death Do We Part.'

My story is a crossover between CSI (Las Vegas) and The Sentinel (AU for The Sentinel). It isn't finished, and will probably be a while before the story is done. As of right now I have about 20 pages written (4+ chapters). It is rated R for sex, violence, and death. As of right now there is no CSI pairing (though there might be later). There is slash for The Sentinel characters (Jim/Blair). The story is pretty dark.
I'm looking for some who can help me with grammar, spelling, and can give me overall feeback on where the story is going.

Thanks,

I'm an older than most writers here but seem to have quite a following. You may want to check out my stuff - http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1007050/ -

I not only write for Horatio/OC but also S.F. (StarTrek: TNG and other of my own creation) and then non-traditional romance and just stuff!

Though an oldtimer at this now, I'd be more than willing to meet and greet an enthusiastic beginner to exchange beta favors with. LOL I say older because i'd like an equally mature friend. I'm hoping for at least over 35. Also, someone with a passion for writing and time to do it. We all have RL but i write to avoid such trivia and hope to find another who does the same. You show me yours and I'll show you mine. Let's bounce ideas off of each other, talk about writing in general, all that stuff.

Hello there. My name is Amber. I am in need of a beat reader. I do a lot of CSi: Miami and CSi: NY writing. I am getting into the CSI: storyline a little more though. My current fics include Ryan/Lindsay, Ryan/Eric and Danny/Flack, although I have plenty of other pairings I have written about.

If you have any further question or comments about wanting to help me out, e-mail me at Silverdragon567@gmail.com and I can go ahead and send you my first story.

Thanks bunches.

new beta reader wants to help

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 19:23:16 GMT

So, I haven't beta'd any fanfic yet. But, I do freelance editing work (for money and barter, though I'm not looking for that here) as well as having a bachelor's degree in English, so I think I'm well-qualified. I've enjoyed slash fanfic for many years and I'm not sure why I've never gotten more involved on the production side.

I'm interested in doing a few "trial reads" for a few different authors, hopefully with a view to developing an ongoing beta relationship with one or two. I'm most interested in male Miami slash. I'll read any rating as long as there's no sex with minors or rape involved. I can offer a turnaround time of a week, but will only work with one piece at a time. I'm great with grammar, finding typos, and flow within a piece.

If you're interested or would like me to do a trial read for you, send me email at lady underscore anemone at livejournal dot com.

Hello

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 06:51:43 GMT

Hi i am hoping someone here can help me out.

My name is Vinnie my fandom is CSI Las Vegas, Pairing Nick and Greg. Slash that i rate NC17 for strong sexual content. I like smut.

I have a few stories that are in the works at this time. They are at this point around 4 to 5 pages long..I tend to writeon going stories in chapters. I am also writing drabbles for a challenge community. The drabbles aren't typically very long. I have a few done already if you'd like to see my writing style let me know.

What i need help with is charactorization, spelling and grammar. I also would like someone who will offer suggestions to help it flow a little better. I have a bad habbit of writing the same stuff for lack of any creative ideas so someone who can aid me in this would be great...

Thank you to anyone who can help me
Vinnie

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 19:20:43 GMT

Hello all, I'm looking for a little help. I currently have 8 stories, the longest of which is eight pages, although the majority are under two. I am looking for someone else to read through them before I post to other websites so that everything looks decent.

Fandom: CSI Las Vegas
Characters: Gil and Greg focus. Slash fics, Gil/Greg. Only a few have explicit sex.
Rating(s): Range from PG to R, I'd say.
Warnings: Two deathfics

I'd like feedback on characterization and presentation, I guess. Anything else is good, too. ^_^ If you're up for doing just one fic, or more, just let me know. All stories are listed here.

Contact me through e-mail if you can help! Thank you very much.
