Beta-reader needed! [13 Jul 2009|05:10pm] reikokatsura I'm trying to clean up my first Harry Potter fan fiction and make proper adjustments so that I can continue working on it come fall. It's a mess, and honestly, I don't even know where to start with it. I wouldn't say it's horrible, but it's not very good, either. Of course, I'll let you decide that for yourself. Title: I Hate You, Truly I Do Pairing: Harry/Draco Words: 38,684 (8 chapters) Rating: M Summary: When questions of his own sexuality begin to surface, Harry finds that not even the engagement to Ginny, or his new teaching position at Hogwarts, can bring him a good night's sleep-- Not like a certain ex-Death Eater can. HP/DM Slash. Post DH. Ignore Epilogue. I would really love to have someone Beta this and help me to make it better. There's no real time limit, so you won't have to rush. I won't start working on this again until fall, but I would like to make the changes before then. Anyone interested? 1 Volunteer | Need a Beta?

Beta wanted for Pansy/Walden Macnair fic [12 Jul 2009|11:50pm] orpheus_samhain Pen Name: Orpheus Samhain Rating of the story: NC-17 Spoilers/Time Line/Era: AU, might be non-magical, late Middle Ages Pairing: Pansy/Walden, Pansy/Draco Beta Type: SPAG, flow, continuity, vocabulary, bouncing off ideas, Brit-picking Harshness: any, as long as they can explain not only what they think is wrong but also why Warnings: non-con/dub-con, violence, a bit of gore Extras: It will be a very long fic, so I'm looking for someone reliable who can handle a steady cooperation for about half a year. Moreover, the fic will contain some era-related vocabulary (weaponry, horse-riding, clothing, architecture, etc.), so this person should be able to verify my using of certain nomenclature, be willing to do some research (not to do it for me, but to compare our results). Interest in history is a plus :) I don't intend to be spot on accurate, but I also wouldn't like to make some grave mistakes. Contact me via orpheus_on_samhain_night@yahoo.co.uk Need a Beta?

Beta-reader needed! [10 Jul 2009|12:19am] reikokatsura 2. for ficfinishing  Title: As Black as Coal and As Bright As Emeralds Pairing: Harry/Draco Rating: NC-17 Alerts: Muggle! Harry (I'm not sure, though. I would really like a Beta to discuss this with). Beta Type: This is more... um... different, I guess you could say. The story deals with certain aspects that I'm not used to writing.... ah... but it's a real fun idea! =D Beta... let's see...well, surprisingly, I need some help with Draco's character. He's involved in something that his canon character truly isn't (not drugs or anything like that-- lol), so I would like some feedback on him, and the opening of the story, especially. -- I'm trying to make this 2 looong chapters, probably 5-10k each ^_^ Well, I hope to hear from someone soon! Need a Beta?

Beta-reader needed! [09 Jul 2009|10:31pm] reikokatsura I'm working on a fic for the hp_mhealthfest (aka: HP Mental Health Fest), and I really need a beta. Pairing: Harry/Draco Rating: T (may go up... but I don't think so) Genre: Romance, angst, hurt/comfort, Tragedy Warning: May be a major character death... I'm not sure, yet. Oh, this is a non-magic AU. Beta needed: You won't have to worry about spelling at all, and not too much with grammar. I'm also pretty good with flow and characterization. What I'm looking for is a beta who can just offer their opinions when they see I'm falling off course, keep with me through the process of writing, make suggestions (if any), fix the mistakes I do make, and annoy the hell out of me when it seems that I'm slacking off. I feel bad easily, so an email emphasizing disappointment will probably suffice ^__^;; That's about it, really. Well, the first chapter is about done... and sign up starts July 18th. I'm thinking that this piece will hit around ten chapters (maybe less).   Need a Beta?

Femmeslash beta needed! [09 Jul 2009|09:41pm] shallyshilly  I'm in need of a beta who thinks they will be really good at betaing femmeslash. I've never written more than a femmeslash drabble before, so I'm really nervous about Hermione's acceptance of liking girls and such.  Rating: let's say R to make it safe. Pairing: Luna/Hermione Time Line: post-DH, but not much having to do with canon Beta Type wanted: I started this probably a year ago and really want to continue it. So I'm worried about things like flow and characterization far more than grammar and spelling. I don't mind if you're brutally honest. But I also would love someone who's willing to get on me for slacking and such.  Thanks! If you're interested, you can message me or comment here. Need a Beta?

Beta sought for femslash ficlet [04 Jul 2009|03:37pm] woldy Does anyone have time to look over a Hermione/Millicent fic that I've written for rarepair_shorts? It's PG-rated, just under 1000 words & needs to be posted by July 12th. 2 Volunteers | Need a Beta?

Seeking for a beta for my fest fic [03 Jul 2009|12:16pm] ms_anthrophy I am desperately asking for a beta (a native from the United Kingdom, pretty please?) for my hp_prisonerfest fic. As it is an anonymous fic exchange, I cannot tell much about it but it is NC-17, dark!fic, angst!fic, contains only slash pairings (but not chan) and can be considered quite disturbing. For kind and interested individuals, PM me and I'll send pairings, warnings and so on? Any other kind of communication is of course also okay with me (hey, I'm the one begging here:). 2 Volunteers | Need a Beta?

Wanted: beta for my hp_sas fic [30 Jun 2009|12:17pm] ciraarana Anyone around who doesn't participate in the hp_sas exchange willing to beta my fic for me? Just standard SPaG, a bit of punctuation, and general readability. ( Cut for more details, in case there are other participants around. ) Need a Beta?

Beta needed [22 Jun 2009|06:19pm] aidenface Title: ? Pairing: James II/Albus/Scorpious Rating/Warnings: NC-17/Incest Word Count: 1952 It is my first fanfiction in a long time and a submission to at least three communities here on Livejournal.

Beta needed for H/D fic ... [22 Jun 2009|01:46pm] sktypied Hey all. I'm looking for a beta to help me with an H/D story I'm currently writing. It's an AU where Harry is still the Boy-Who-Lived, but Draco is actually his guardian angel. At this point, I just need someone to read over the ~2400 words I have so far and tell me if I'm going in the right direction, how it reads, etc. If you'd like to stay on until I finish the fic and give me feedback on the plot and scenes I have planned that works too. I can give you more specifics, then. Thanks! Need a Beta?

is needing a beta quite desperately [16 Jun 2009|08:06pm] plotting_pen Title: Make Love Pairing: Harry/Draco Rating: NC-17 Wordcount: ~16,300 Warnings: mpreg, angst, fluff, sexual situations, minor character death, and of course, a happy ending Summary: When Draco thinks he can sink no lower, Harry Potter proves him wrong. - Please, if someone would volunteer to be a beta, I would really, really, really appreciate it! I wrote it for slashfest, and while I don't think there's a need for spelling check or grammar check, I do need someone to look over my sentence structure and syntax. If you could check my plot loopholes and do some Britpick, I would love you forever, but it's not necessary. Please please please? You'd really help me out! (If you're squicked out by mpreg, it's not very explicit :) ) Just leave me a comment here or send me an email at anitney_fanfics at yahoo dot com. 1 Volunteer | Need a Beta?

Need Beta for a Harry/Draco (Slash) Fic... [15 Jun 2009|06:13pm] folkin_up_again Title: N/A Author: folkin_up_again Rating: NC-17 (MATURE) Genre: Romance, Historical Romance, Drama, Fantasy, Friendship, Hurt/Comfort Warnings: Slash, Top!Harry (for entire fic), AU, Implied veela(see other notes), dub-con (between Harry/Draco), Somewhat historical romance fic, cliches abound, slave!draco (NOT sex slave), virgin!Draco Wordcount: So far 20,598 Contact: Email: gorilla.nilla@gmail.com, or message folkin_up_again. Other Notes: I've been working on this fic since the beginning of May and I'm about a 1/4 or so of the way done. This is a work in progress fic, but I will have it completed even if it kills me. My hope is to have it all completed (fic and art) and ready to be posted by the release of HP6, which is when I'd like to post the first part (on July 15). I'm looking for one, hopefully 2, people to beta this as I go along. It's kind of getting to the point where I don't want to keep going back and checking over everything I write, and when I sit down to write, I write a lot at one time and I find it tedious to keep going back. I was going to wait until I'd gotten to 30,000 wc before requesting a beta, but I don't want to overwhelm someone. I am not British. However, this story is set in England and I want to stay as true to the British styles as possible, therefore, while being able to Britpick is not necessary, I thought I should warn you beforehand. In concerns to the implied veela, I know not everyone is for the whole veela genre. I wouldn't go so far as to say this is a veela fic, only because it won't be featuring veela or veela heritage, but veela elements will be in it. The dub-con could be considered non-con, but trying to stay true to the cliche romance fiction, it is NOT angsty, grimy, dirty, and tear jerking. Lastly, I wanted to try something different, so...this entire fic is written in first person point of view (Draco's). I'm not sure how people feel about 1st pov, so I'm warning for that too. If you'd like to read a section of it before committing to beta-ing for it, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to send a little bit. Thanks in advance for any help! Need a Beta?

Beta Needed [14 Jun 2009|09:28pm] planetgal471 [ mood | groggy ] ~2500 words, Remus/Sirius and Remus/Tonks, PG-13?-rated. Genderplay, but I feel like play is not the right word, because this is more seriously about transgender issues (Sirius, if it matters to you). AU. Tonks may be a bit Sue-ish in this. I really need an eye to help me make sure the emotional movements in this piece aren't too swift or jerky. Thank you! I promise I write well enough that you won't be doing much language work or anything. I'm looking for something a little more advanced, as in actual story feedback. I usually don't even use a beta, but this story is exceptionally important to me. 1 Volunteer | Need a Beta?

[13 Jun 2009|06:52pm] dwarfandelf [ mood | hopeful ] Hi, I am a beginner at writing, just learning and practicing. I would like to have someone available once in a while to tell me what they think. You can be as harsh as you like in your criticism, but given how I need loads more practice and learning, I may not be able to fix all you suggest (due to a lack of skill), but I will definitely appreciate it all criticism. Or, if you would prefer to just give a short opinion, that's fine too. English is my second language, so some fixing of grammar and such may be needed, but I am most interested in opinion on the content, how it flows, is it boring, does it relay what I am hoping to relay, and that sort of thing. At this point, I am only interested in writing Albus Severus/Scorpius, and Snape/Harry, so it will be one or the other or both, and generally romantic, happy stuff. I would like to write all ratings from G to NC17, rated for sex only, there will be no violence. If anyone is interested in giving me their thoughts, I would appreciate it very much! Thank you :-) Need a Beta?

Quick Beta Needed [13 Jun 2009|01:28pm] briony_tallis Hello, I am in desperate need of a beta for my hp_summersmut submission, which is due on June 22. So if you can beta a 2,600 word fic in a week or less, read on! It's femmeslash, R rated, pretty much a PWP, though there is background. I don't want to give too much away, as it is for an anonymous fest. I need Brit-picking, characterization, serious help with my sex descriptions, and general flow/grammar and such. I'd prefer somebody who's very thorough and harsh; I promise I can take it! 2 Volunteers | Need a Beta?

beta for a D/G fic [11 Jun 2009|04:22am] missblackheart7 [ mood | excited ] The fic is written for the dgficexchange so I'm afraid I can't say anything more about it than that the it's rated G, about 5000-ish words long tops (today I'm doing my last edit and I'm not sure whether I'll leave out certain parts) an due to July 1st. I'd be really, really grateful if someone would beta it for me. Thanks in advance! 1 Volunteer | Need a Beta?

Looking for a beta [31 May 2009|02:23pm] alexa_black [ mood | centered ] [ music | wind blowing through the leaves ] I am looking for a quick beta. The story I have is a little less than 1000 words and is H/D. It's PG/PG-13 and doesn't include any squicks. Really, I just want another set of eyes, and maybe someone to give me their opinion on the dialogue. Thanks in advance! 1 Volunteer | Need a Beta?

[31 May 2009|07:33pm] nonconcurrence Hi! I'm looking for a beta for my first fic ever :). My usual pairing is Harry/Draco, so this is sort of a leap in the dark. Pairing: Draco/ Ron Rating: PG13 I guess Warnings: Character death, but not in a bad way. I mean. Not cry-worthy at least. It's a fic about the war and the price it asks of people. HM, so I need some comments on the plot in general, the flow, grammar/punctuation (though I don't expect it to be very drastic). Yeah. length: about 3000 words. 2700? Something like that. Please leave me a comment here if you're willing to give me some feedback! Thankyou. 1 Volunteer | Need a Beta?

H/D Beta [30 May 2009|01:30pm] rons_pigwidgeon I'm looking for a beta for an H/D story, just under 5.000 words. It's post-Hogwarts/post-war, EWE, and even though I don't remember adding anything about the fight with Voldemort, I started writing it just after HBP, so it might not be DH-compliant. Oh, and it's rated R, possibly NC17, heavy on the f--k word. I'm not looking for anything hard-core beta-wise, Brit-pick would be nice, but I mainly need someone to make sure I don't have any glaring spelling/grammar mistakes. I've been staring at this story for so long, I'm sure I've missed something. Thanks! 1 Volunteer | Need a Beta?

Beta sought for short Remus/Sirius fic [30 May 2009|12:16am] woldy Beta needed for a ~1700 word Remus/Sirius fic written for a fest with deadline of May 30th! The fic is NC-17 (although barely), lighthearted, has no warnings, & basically just needs checking for SPAG. Many thanks to anyone who can look it over. 1 Volunteer | Need a Beta?
