Hey guys! I was wondering if there's anyone here that's willing to take on being my beta. I'm currently writing my first D/J story and need someone to check it for pretty much everything... grammar, characterization, etc. Just as a fair warning, I can't spell to save me life lol

If anyone's interested, please let me know... :D


EDIT: First of all, wow you guys, thanks so much for the quick response.

This post has now morphed into something else, if you're willing to beta read for *anyone* respond to this post and the mods will add your name to a list they will be compiling.

Again, thanks so much! You guys rock ;)

Let's assume that this isn't the only person wanting a beta. So if you're interested/willing, leave your email addresses here, and someone will probably come along and take them.

I love generous people. You guys are the tops.

would you like me to edit the post in some way so that it's more open ended? :)

Aren't you sweet!

I actually thought of asking you, too. But I think what I'll do is make a list of Beta volunteers in our user info.

Acutally, ok. Yes.

State that the mods are going to use this post to put together a list of beta volunteers that we'll post on the profile. Maybe change the title to Req: Beta Volunteers Wanted or something.

THANK YOU. Way to turn your "request" for you into a "favor" for me and everyone else.

Oh, PS I had wanted to say before that you impress me and I can't wait to read the story.

just edited the post, oh and you can put me down on the list too if you'd like :D

email: franny122004@gmail.com

thanks so much for running this comm, I've loved all three of your fics so far (*poke* for another soon)

I'll add my name to the list of potentials. greyfable@gmail.com.

I may be looking for a beta reader soon as well, so is it all right if I ask you to return the favor? My spelling also sucks. :-)

hey, I'm always up for some beta reading! here's my email when you need it: franny122004@gmail.com ;)

thanks!
10th-Dec-2006 04:25 am (UTC)
You're welcome, and thank you in kind. :-)

Beta reader thread, heck yeah!

Here's my e-mail to add to the list:

elizabethlemaistre@gmail.com

One caveat to this before I truly get into things. My spelling isn't too bad, but will we be going with American spelling or British spelling? ie do I or do I not include 'u's in words like colour(color) and neighbour(neighbor). Just a question.

Put me down on the list. bm1893 @ gmail

I don't have the time to do exhaustive beta-ing, but I have a four-month-old baby and am willing to act as a pregnancy/parenting resource for people who have questions for their fic. Obviously my experiences aren't going to be the same as anyone else's, but I might be able to provide more accurate information than TV or movies.

You can reach me at my livejournal address.

I'm avaliable for betaing--sdglst22@aol.com

I'm willing to beta, but I have:

a. never done it before

b. am not super great at telling if the characterization is good or not

c. don't have a lot of free time, but could get back to the person within at least a week. (I promise.)

I'm also a stickler for grammar and spelling, so if that's your only problem, I would be a good beta for that, I guess
